Either are fine

Also wrong spot, belongs in PSP 1000, not Dual Nub

Just wait for mod to move it.

You don't really need to replace the powerboard unless you really want the power switch to work. You could turn the psp on and off with the music note button with a pretty easy mod. Also you could add your own button if you don't want to use the note button. You could also use a reed switch. That seems sort of popular.

The thing that all of these havin common itls that they bypass the power switch so you don't need it anyway. So if the original switch is broken it dozen matter.

I bought 3 powerboards from DX and they do not work perfectly. The music button or brightness button doesn't work on all of them.

i like the idea of the note button as the switch, is that a hard or soft mod? and i also like the idea of the reed switch could you be so kind as to post some links if they exsist. if nothing else thank you for the quck responce and the great tipps

Ok sorry I can't do links because I'm on my iPod touch right now. I can tell you that to find them, go to the tutorials be click on tutorials -PSP-. Then click on PSP Phat. The one for the reed switch is called "Reed Switch Securrity Mod For PSP Phat and Slim by l0rdnic0". The one for the note button is called "Power Switch to Face Button Rewire Mod". Both are pretty simple.

DX have made a bad change in supplier, before they used to have these blue PCBs, they were almost the exact same as OEM, apart from they were blue

Now they changed supplier and now its as if it HAS to be faulty, every single one must be faulty, like its a requirement (just like everything else I order from that cheap crap store)

I think they might be the about the same. I would just buy a used OEM powerboard if I really needed one.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #11 on:** January 13, 2009, 07:11:27 PM »

Damn. I always break things so I know I'm gonna need some spares... and used OEM ones are sorta hard to come by and if you do come by one it's usually like 10 bucks off ebay.

Whats wrong with the boards from DX? I'm just curious.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2009, 09:29:50 PM »

Apparantly there is always something wrong with their new ones... Oh well a recent review said they're fine so I will probably buy some anyways...

I ordered about 5 only 3 months ago and all of them have problems and I emailed DX about it, and there doing the same thing as always, ignoring my emails

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #15 on:** January 14, 2009, 01:19:15 PM »

=\ that sucks major balls. Oh well I guess I'll just have to figure out another place to get powerboards...
