Hardware Psp go usb type-c mod

[SundayWarrior]

Maybe its be useful for someone. Needed - dremel, soldering iron, tiny wires (lacquered), middle soldering skills, xiaomi mi note 2 connector, and imagination ofc.
Points vcc and detect will be shorted.
Maybe i mixed up d+ and d- point on photo - if you see "unknow device" just swap data wires - its simple.

Why mod the mini usb port and not put a usb-c where the barrel jack is?

 

[SundayWarrior]

Little missunderstanding - mini usb so old port - i not use it in my mods anymore. Type-c good and convenient.
Barrel jack? Its orig connector? Its removed.

I picked up a PSP Go with a damaged connector and thankfully came across a guide like this since there are no replacement ports available for the PSP Go. I successfully desoldered the stubborn Sony HDE port ordered the lacquered wire and Xiaomi Mi Note 2 USB C port. But i have an issue the USB C port is different to yours. Did i buy the wrong port.

Just i buy charging port without sub board. Unsolder yours and try install like in my photo. Only d+/d- maybe get you problems, use lakred wires (where it intersect, the varnish layer should be)

Where can i buy a port like yours? I can always cut the sub board but the USB C connector is different.

Just unsolder type-c port from sub board. Its look like mine.
If you needed only port, i find it on ali https://m.aliexpress.ru/item/400010...expid=dd0ea549-83c5-484b-8314-a12f42f9aafc-26

Finally got around to attempting to install this but it’s very difficult to solder to. So i’ve ordered pcb version of the USB Connector and took off the Mount of the other connector.

Update: cant get it to fit and soldering the other usb c in is next to impossible. Might end up using this motherboard with a broken connector for spares as there are no replacement connectors available.

just want to as a question as you are professional in modding, my psp go is not detected by the pc, its only charging but wheb i connect with usb, it always stuck at (Please wait) i have tried all options, swapped cables, use another psp go witht he same cable, so the cable is perfecr, i have tried other psp go and all working perfect, so i want to ask if there is some fuse for this usb port as well so i can check, if i can fix this issue. i even tried custom firmware, official firmware but still its stuck on please wait message. It will be great if you can help.

Many thanks, i will try and let you know.

i suddenly lost sound on my psp go, both speaker and headphone jack are silent. can anyone suggest something. I have also shot the [L] Fuse, but nothing happened.

 

[groundlessfears]

This D+ & D- component is too small, that i was not able to solder, so can i remove this component.? and connect the circuit directly.?

 

[Shadow_The_Hedgehog82]

Nice work dude think ill do this at some point

 

[Maxwellp]

Just wanted to say thanks for the guide. I successfully soldered the board others have been using but carved some space next to the card slot to maintain the original port too.

 

[Marc_LFD]

A PSP Go with a USB-C and 128GB storage would be a pretty amazing handheld.

Nice one, dude.

great mod can you share info about wire you have used ?

They probably used thin copper wire judging by the photos. You can easily salvage it out of a small speaker.

 

[Kur0shitsuji]

Uses laminated modwire(the orange copper kind) . 30awg/ gauge too thick for the case
