Check to see if there is power at the battery terminalsIf there is not replace the power board
...I put everything back together, and it powered on, but it wasn't charging, I called up my friend and asked him what do I do... he told me to test with an LED....
From what I have read, testing out a power supply using only an LED is not a good idea, as this basically creates a short circuit. Not sure if I understand this problem correctly, but will replacing the powerboard really correct the issue? The PSP will work fine without a powerboard providing you short the correct pins on the motherboard to turn it on and off. Does it also perform some other function related to battery charging?
...I used a DC MilliAmps Tester, and when I put the + and - to the pins it worked, but by the battery it didn't.
Also not a good idea for the same reason. For these tests, set your meter to measure DC voltage.
:Sounds to me like your power fuse is done.With your PSP disassembled and A/C adapter and battery in place: bypass the fuse by connecting one end of a piece of wire to one side of the fuse and the other to the other side of the power fuse. If the red charging light appears, it's the fuse. If this is the case you need to bridge the fuse by applying solder over it. Should look like this: QuoteTHIS WAS NOT MY POST, BUT THE PERSON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, and I tried it with the wire, and it looks like it charges again, is it safe to solder the two points together? Let me know before I attempt it.Thank you AcidMods Team!

lol i dont see why every1 make thing so complicated if the thing doesnt charge bridge the fuse!
Okay, let's say we do bridge the fuse.Rob is playing with his PSP happily, then there is a surge of electrons inside the psp..The vital circuitry/components which the fuse was protecting against high amounts of electricity are now destroyed - irrepairable.Rob has to go and buy himself another motherboard. £35 down the drain, all because he didnt replace a fuse.And i am pretty sure that fuse is rated at 0.5A - ie. filament melts at 0.5 milliamps..Now, can anyone tell me what is special about 0.5 milliamps?Yes, that's right, it Kills you.I would bridge the fuse with the tip of a flathead screwdriver, and see if the psp turns on, this is just to determine if the fault lies with the fuse ( i haven't read the thread but this may have been established already).I would then look up in your parts catalog a 0.5 mah fuse, and desolder the blown one and replace it.Everyone is happy.
