Well it all started sometime after my cousin decide to volunteer some time to fix my psp's usb prob. With the usb cable in, when i shook my psp, the connection would break, so he fixed it and said the usb leads were completely of the motherboard along the the traces still stuck on them, he soldered it really well because i had to take apart my psp again to fix another prob that had ocurred.

The IR leds in my psp wernt firing with the ps2 app. I replaced the eboots thinking they got corrupted but no, the leds wernt sending the signal anymore. So, i took apart my psp, everything from the faceplate, screen, PCB under the d-pad and shape buttons, and had the mobo in my hands looking for any open or short in the tiny resistors or transistors leading to the IR. I found everything intact, from what EYE could see, so i went to puting it back together.
One the second screw i was putting in, the one in the low right hand corner under the battery, disaster struck as the screw was just a bit too long and cracked my poor tft lcd screen because it layed right under it.

I was pissed, but i knew divineo sold them for 35 and i also decided to replace my f'd up face plate with the original sony one they
had. I bought both a new lcd and faceplate for about $88, which sucks cuz i dont have a job, and was saving for a $160 4gig.
I got them in about 2days, installed them and everything works except for my stupid IR. And btw, taking apart the psp is hell, u gotta remember where screws go, dont crack the screen when ur taking it out, and dont discharge static on the nand flash chips.
Even if u dont hear it or feel it, u can still discharge over 1,000 volts. Its like 30k to 60k volts that u see it and/or feel it. Anyways heres the pics from the hellish nightmare .

I took my face plate off and thats as far as im going.

ya i took mine apart b4 becuase i had to buy a new umd door but my dad helped me (hes a eletrician ) and it all workeed out fine

i had to do this all by myself but it sucks my irs arent workn tho.

so ur internet/psp to psp function doesnt work??

wow, i'm going as far as the faceplate, and buttons and thats it lol

that most suck i am not even taking it apart cuz i already bricked my old psp when went on the hwy and throw it out the window and a transport hit it then i got a new one... so i am not even going to do a thing but once u take that stuff apart you probly would wont to buy just a plane new psp for 200$ cuz in the end ur going to spend over 150$ to even try and fix it..

im too afraid to even take the faceplate off

same or do any thing or even let my brother go near it lol

everything works on my psp, headphones EVERTHING except the IR so i can control my ps2, im willing to trade some1 with a 2.5 and a nonTA whatever to have my working IR again.
