Soldering accident
« on: September 25, 2008, 04:55:38 PM »
wow, i dont seem to have a good rep as a psp modder. Well anyway, I got a friends slim psp to mod with leds, and I had an accident. I was following this guide, and I ended up using too much solder and it arched to another resistor looking thing. I kept trying to get it un soldered, but it ended up that the the resistor, the one that says anode, popped off. I got really pissed that it wouldnt start up, I stopped, and ordered a soldering iron to get the job done right (Weller WES51) So today I unarched the two resistor parralel to each other on the mobo. I turned it on, but the startes up, and without showing the xmb, keeps loading, shown by the ripple thing in the bottom right hand corner. the waves keep moving also. so i look for a thing that looks similar on a old cd play, solder it on, but it wont power on. then I try a 100 ohm resistor, it turns on and just loads, and the resistor gets real hot. now, im stumped. can any one identify what the little smd thing is.
here is the picture that I followed, and refered to.

Well I cant really tell because that tut had the worst pictures ever...

But it looks like a Cap (Capacitor) not a resistor.

I would appreciate it soooo much if someone can open their slim, or someone who's slim is already open, to measure it. it would probably be the nicest thing someone I never knew would do for me  :cry2:. I would praise anyone who would do this favor for me.

cant anyone help a poor fellow? I need to know what I messed up on, and how. I noticed that the psp works, but the umd drive doesn't. The drive powers up, tries to read the umd, and then the laser slowly dims out

it has to have something related to that. the umd gets power but slowly loses it... PLEASE SOMEONE FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PART! this isnt even my psp, and I would be devastated to have to give my friend a broken psp.

I know this thread may be dead, but im still stumped. Does anyone have their psp open, and is willing to take a picture of the capacitor for me? would a picture be enough for someone to identify it, or will someone have to measure the capacity?

If you were a newbie at soldering or putting stuff in a psp why would you even do it on a friends psp. At least do it on your own psp instead of your friends come on. I advise you go to afterdawn and sign up as well since they have modders to. Tell me how it goes. GOOD LUCK!
