is there a supplier i can actualy trust?
« on: March 12, 2009, 04:35:33 PM »
so once again internet shopping has given me another kick while im down in the process of working on the back the future psp (ya its taking a long time  but this  topic will explain) my power board kicked the bucket, i thought "thats ok il just order a new one on ebay or something and get it in like 2 weeks tops

ya its goin on 2 months now. i have received  a power board a month later, which didnt bother me. It was the fact that when i opened it, it was for the psp 2000. now im a calm guy, i dont usually let things like this get to me, i  politely told the seller that it was for the wrong board and no worries if he could send me the right one, i even offered to ship it back so he doesn't lose  out incase it was an honest mistake. but he said it was okay and they would ship me out the right power board.

Soooo now its been another month later. i check my mail excited like a kid getting a power wheels for christmas, and what do i find? ANOTHER PSP 2000 POBO! oo but thats not all, i tried to rub off my rage with ebay shopping by saying "screw it il just  mod em for my psp slim" when i actually take a good look at them, there both broken, one is missing  the power led, and the other has a badly installed ribbon connector.

heres the auction link, incase anyone wants to heed my warning of them, maybe i just get badluck with online shopping, ah well, try and try again.

that sucks man... try dealextreme. theyre not the best but whatever. i ordered a bunch of stuff from them already and they all came within a month. i heard their psp1000 pobos suck but i havent bought any yet. i got some psp2000 pobos and they all worked... except one which broke quite quickly but for a few bucks, 1/3 breaking isnt too bad i guess...

good luck. focalprice is great too. havent heard anything bad from them and they ship faster than dx. no complaints yet ;)
