Well I did come across a video on YouTube about 30 minutes ago with someone showing their PSP having the exact same symptoms as mine. As I was reading through he comments a lot of people were pointing out that they solved the issue by replacing the fuse on the back of the main board.


(this is the video I'm talking about)

If the PSP I currently have was indeed dropped then it could have most definitely blown the fuse or at the very least knocked it loose/off the board.

I'm not convinced the PSP is bricked by a Pandora Battery attempt because I've been doing research since making this post and like I mentioned above, the symptoms are completely different.

Tomorrow I'm going to take the PSP apart and use a multimeter to do some tests/fault finding across the board. I have another working identical PSP-1000 so I can use them to compare against each other.

If the fuse reports back as fine, then I will maybe explore the possibility that the PSP is bricked from a Pandora Battery. But right now my priority is checking the fuse.

You also have to remember that I don't know the history of this PSP as I received it from the Japan market. I don't have the original battery that the owner had nor do I have the memory card that the owner had.

I have a PSP 2000 that happened like in the video. In my case the problem was that the charger was bad.With a new one it worked. It is strange since when checking the charger with the multimeter it showed 5 volts.

There can be many possible reasons for the PSP to not turning on, and you need to check each one until you find the culprit.

I'd test this:

-The battery charger.
-The battery.
-The battery connector.
-The charging port on both ends.
-The fuses.
-Does the board has a short on its main power track?

That's the starting point, but if neither of the latter is damaged, then things will get a bit more complicated.

You need a multimeter, some isopropyl alcohol (IPA for short), cotton rubs, a lot of patience.

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
