Heat Shield blocking the MOBO
« on: April 08, 2009, 09:12:13 PM »
Hey guys, I disassembled my psp and I was about to take off that metal shielding that sits on the motherboard. It looks like it is connected to the actual mobo. Is there anyway I can remove this and if not, will it block me from installing leds?

The one that sits on top of it? It's not attached at all.. Just take it off. It shouldn't require any effort.

I read that disassembly and clear case guide, and it said that I shouldn't even try to remove the shielding if it's not connected to the backplate. Screw it and give it a go?

So if I am above that MOBO, is there any way I can install sound sensitive LEDs?

Alright well sorry I didn't know about the newer mobos thing... Okay, well it shouldn't matter. Just leave it, it shouldn't affect your ability to install sound reactive LEDs.

Then yeah, just leave the metal shielding thing. It shouldn't affect your ability to do SR LEDs.

Keep it even if it is removable. It has nothing to do with the speaker output, and you probably can ground your leds to it as well.
