hey again guys I need some help. recently my non-modded psp slim blew up.. I plugged it into the usb and then smoke came out of it and it turned off. It now turns on but nothing else happens apart from the green light. then after a minute or so it turns off. Any idea on what the problem is? I've never opened it, the only mod I have done to it custom firmware...

Alright thanks. Thats a :censored:ing pain in the ass though. How does a usb plug give to much voltage?? I used it before and it worked fine...

I laughed so hard when I saw the title. Just wanted to let you know. Blowing things up is awesome ^^.
Definitely send it to Sony, you can't fix that yourself

that doesn't make sense unless it had a step up converter inside the plug...

the whole point of USB is that it is a Universal Serial Bus, so it will have the SAME voltage anywhere in the world..

I Would suspect it was a problem with the USB fuse on the mobo, maybe it wasn't tested/working and so the filament didn't melt

I have 2 diffrent usb cords
I have one that works for like EVRYTHING but my gp2x
Then I have one that only works with my gp2x

alien x why do you always have to be so :censored:ing negative all the time?
you act like your better than everyone else, but your a loser.

Sanctus · « **Reply #11 on:** August 12, 2008, 08:57:51 PM »

ok then I will send it back. my only other option would be to replace the mobo right?

i'm sorry, but i will do what it takes to prove my point...

i know i'm right..

do you swear like that with your parents? i bet you don't...

I bet you're happy to know you're wrong then.
Stfu, stay on topic, stop insulting people, and stop causing trouble with everyone.

You should go think before you insult a friggin' COMPANY. Srsly, gtfo I'm sick of your bs everywhere.

wrong about what?

im sorry but if gp2x needs a specially designed usb cable then the engineers over there are..frankly..stupid

i have usb cables that work for my phone but don't work on my mp3 player, but i have one that works for everything. How the

do you explain that?

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 13, 2008, 09:26:30 AM »

And I have usb cable that work for everything but my phone. Explain that. You think you're so much better than everyone don't you?

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2008, 09:33:38 AM »

I personally was talking about USB cable in general. I've got a mini b that works on ALL of my MINI B electronics but not on my phone(IT FITS IT THE FRIGGIN PHONE), then there's one that ONLY works on my phone. Explain that.
I also have REGULAR usb cables with the same predicament. Working on all/most except a few. Explain it.
And don't go off on what mario said, because you yourself said he was wrong.

Now, I'm ignoring your bs comment. I'm so :censored:ing sick of you.

My psp usb doent work in my camera but it fits in perfect....

Ya stop being a

alien

Thane · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2008, 04:29:22 PM »

same usb cable, but cant be used in different electronics equipment is because they're not the same internally. some complex electronics (phones, pda ) which are more complex uses most or all of the 5 pins in that usb cable to transfer more data. but less complex things like mp3 players or cameras only use some of the pins since they only transfer song files. that explains why you cant use an mp3 player's cable for a phone, but you can use a phone's usb cable with an mp3.

correct me if im wrong

but i do experience some frustrating occurrences when i borrow my friends' mp3 player's usb cable to connect to the pc. it does detect my psp, but failed to correctly register it.
also, if the usb cable is cheaply made, chances are they were made specifically for the item bundled with it.

Okay, this stuff isn't even pertinent....I already know my answer so thanks but you don't need to hate at each other on this thread or anywhere for that matter.

Some people just insist on being off topic and enjoy fighting I guess.
Anyway, good luck with the PSP my friend...same thing happened to my other friend...but he fried it running an official sony update on his...and it was a fat...x.x

that is very true, and you can get 4 and 5 pin variations.. all i'm saying is that it is rather absurd to make a Universal serial bus cable, that is not universal.

Stay on the goddamn topic now! I'ts OVER.

MattZani · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2008, 05:50:57 AM »

Yes, USB is a standard, and all its connectors, but not all cables have all the pins, so the PSP etc may not need the same pins the phone needs or whatever.

Also, becuase of this, a cable with all the pins should work fine, but what if a pin the phone needs is damaged.

Also, lay of Alien, he knows his stuff, which is more than i can say for most of you.
