why do we keep going on about mods?
atomic is just having trouble soldering the the 5v supply points. they are small and close togerther, use a small tip iron and a bit of flux to help. these are exposed pads,l there is nothing to scrape, if you having that much trouble clean them with alcohol. these are the easiest points to solder to inside the psp 1000? I have never seen anyone have a problem here
