Hey everyone,
I have the red god of war psp 2000, with the TA-85 motherboard, and I have been having issues with it.
While I was playing a psx game on pops a few days ago, I dropped it on my desk and it suddenly my speakers stopped working, but everything else worked, including the headphones. So I opened it up to see if one of the speakers was dislodged, and it appeared that it hadn't, but as I was looking through it trying to find the problem, I had forgotten the speakers are magnetic and one of them had managed to get stuck to the mother board. This bricked my psp but I used my trusty pandora battery to get it back to 3.71 m33, but when I started it up again, not only were my speakers not working, but my backlight on my lcd wasn't working either ( I checked under a light and could still see the xmb menu and games), and when I plugged in the charger, that didn't work either, nor did my psp read any umds.
So I did some research and attempted to solder the fuses that might have blown, and managed to get my charger working, but now both the orange and green power lights are on at the same time when it's turned on with just the battery in it.
My backlight still doesn't work but the screen does, and when I play a game and turn the volume up all the way I can hear slight noises in the speakers, kind of like when you slightly plug in headphones into a jack so that you hear noise but not necessarily music or sound. It still won't read umds.
Now I'm wondering what I should do. Do I need a new mother board or is it more than that?
I will be very grateful for assistance
