PSP-2001 battery help

i have PSP-2001 and i just installed CFW 3.70 M33-2 by modding my battery (making scratch on the wire?gold part(it said that u can fix the battery by tracing the scratch with a pencil))

but i decided that i didnt want CFW so i decided to switch it back. so i traced the scratch couple of times nd i put it back on my psp. but the psp wont recognize my battery. PSP turns on only when i hav the AC adaptor on. It also turns off automatically in like 2-5min.

can someone help me?

also if i hav to buy a battery, would they sell it at eb games?

mate im assuming you live in australia so hi =]....also i dont understand why you would not want cfw its awesome...you can play backups and emulators and ps1 games =] also they should sell them at eb

Did you use a trace lead pen? or just a regular pencil?

you need to use the trace lead pen for it...its a special pen solely for the purpose of tracing on pcb boards.

i used a normal number 2 pencil because it said on the guide that number 2 pencil would work

lol well what site was this from? a normal pencil will not work.

For starters a pencil contains lead not silver...its circuitry, not a drawing
You need something like this...

Let me know what site it was tho so our forum users know to stay away from them.

Actually Regular pencils contain graphite which does conduct electricity.
Its no secret that you can use a pencil to reconnect spots on a PCB.
The graphite does a good job in small situations.

Rox, using pencils to redraw broken traces with graphite does not work well enough to resolve the issue.

My advice, just do it the proper way otherwise you'll end up with a trace that keeps failing over and over. Ask anyone who works with PCB boards and they'll tell you the same.

Yes... It does...

I've done this before, and so have millions of other people.
In fact, every other guide on hard modding a pandora that involves cutting the trace says to FILL IT IN WITH A #2 PENCIL. Cheap and Effective.

suck man- both m y batteries are constantly having the pwncil erased from my board when i modd a psp, then i pencil it in. im serious. you may abbide to some gay laws of fisiks or whatever, but the truth doent lie, moron. it works.
