Hardware Fix a PSP GO

[Deleted User]

Hi guys !

My PSP GO is bricked since 2011-12. I remember just opening the back to see what was inside the GO, and when I put it back, nothing goes. No LEDs, no screen light, no sounds. And I let it that way since today.

I was wondering if I can use the Pandora battery tools for the PSP 1000 with magic stick but instead of the Pandora battery, use a PSP GO battery ?

If not, is there another way to unbrick a PSP GO ? I cannot find a specific method for the PSP GO, only for the others PSP models.

Thanks.

I have the same issue with my psp go aswell. It appears to be dead but I probed the motherboard and there is voltage going to the battery and to the components, it charges the battery without the orange light. I had 2 blown fuzes and bridging them didn't solve the problem. I will continue to look up to the problem if I can find it I'll post it here or if you find the solution post here please.

Hey there, recently while I was probing the motherboard I found some shorts on 3 capasitors around the power management chip (The capasitors inside the red circle). Which makes sense considering the symptoms. The chip might be the answer, gonna look further for this untill I'll find the solution.
