Appreciate you breaking the connector so we get a true longform video 😄
-
What a beautiful device. My parents could never afford a PSP when I was younger, despite how much I wanted one. Never had one, probably never will, but I still wish I had one. Minidisc and UMD fascinate me.
-

-

-
Everything is always on point. Can't get enough!
-

-
Really great fix Steve.
-
Such a fiddly thing to work on, im sure id have broken more than the screen ribbon connector if I opened up one of my PSPs - Kudos on the fix fella 🤘
-
Amazing work!
-
Beautiful work as always.
-
Hey buddy. Hope your recovery is going good. Keep safe.
-

I am terrible at replacing those ribbon cable connectors...I have tried at least 10 times and I always end up melting part of it...I have gotten several to work, but they were ugly when I was done! lol...Great video as always!

Hey everyone! I have a challenge for you please read if you’re interested! Today I was messing around with a circuit board, which is kinda new to me. The part is an exhaust gas temperature sensor for an Audi. The part never worked since I’ve had it, so it’s all pure learning. Once I got the circuit board out, I started testing all the fuses capacitors and fuses. All of my tests came out exactly like yours did at 11:49. EXCEPT ONE! I thought this was likely the culprit. Instead of holding a solid beep like I was used to, it beeps for a half second and stops! When I removed the resistor I tried to test if the resistor would still have the same problem. Now it’s reading the same as the other resistors but it has no beep. I’m not sure where I should go from here. There is no obvious signs of damage to the board or anything.

Can never get enough of PSPs...
-
For removing that fuse next to the port, you should get the Metcal Talon, it's basically a dual tip soldering iron that can open and close like tweezers and allows you to just grab and desolder a part all in one step.
-
Thank you Steve!
-
The component connected to pin number 3 on the memory line is usually a "capacitor" or "resistor".
-
We had Blue PSP in France too, I have one but it's an expensive model here too !

Seeing a PSP always makes me think of my little sister. She was a kid when the PSP came out, and I used to get after her because she'd play it until the battery completely died, then she'd charge it for five minutes, and then play for two until it died again. I repeatedly told her to stop it before she ruined the battery but she never listened.
