Hardware Psp go usb type-c mod

[DICTATOR]

hi, I installed the type-c slot on the psp go. but when the psp cable is connected, it switches to PC connection mode, I exit the menu and charging starts after a couple of minutes. But if you close the psp, charging disappears. I tried swapping d+ and d - but nothing helped. when connected to a PC, the device is not detected.I completely removed the d + and d - , but so the psp does not respond to the charging connection at all. I used this connector

Just made an account to say: This is very hard, dont underestimate it. Idk what middle soldering skills are but I've soldered quite a bit of things mostly keyboards and some phone port repairs that all went fine. I've tried with op's exact original port, its literally not doable to do the data wires. Just get a cheap usb c port that has 4 pads for v, d-, d+ and g it will also fit, get some metal to make a bracket and solder it to the original supports. Thought I had it together a couple times but every time there was a short of some sort and after a week of trying to fix it I've stripped the vcc pad making my previously fully functional psp go a brick. good luck to everyone trying this and be careful!

Hello Dictator,
I encountered the same problem but I am using a standard USB-C board with just the VC, Minus, D+ and D- pads. Did you or anyone else manage to figure out what the error was?

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.

Would it still work without bridging the detect and vcc? Mind explaining why that's important? I did it and it works but now it can't detect va cables and I wonder if that could be the cause

I did this, thanks for the info. I can no longer use va cables to connect to the tv tho and I suspect it's because of bridging the detect and vcc pins. Do you know why this could be?

Giltesa now has a USB-C mod specifically for the PSP Go. No need for this anymore.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing this thread! I know it’s been a while since you posted this message, but I was wondering if you had a high
resolution image of this area of the motherboard?

I’m trying to identify a component’s ID number, and I’m missing this component from my motherboard. I’m pretty sure it’s a transistor, and I’d love to know the ID number so I can replace it.
