My old psp basically melted. The story started with the lcd cracking and me replacing it (mostly due to my parents not wanting to send it out to somewhere). All went well for about two days, until it started running really hot, like the battery and the entire backside, were extremely warm, by the time I realized that it was running hot, the motherboard fried and no psp.
Now I was too young for a job at the time, and my parents weren't exactly to hear that my $200 dollar toy fried itself to extra crispy. So they didn't buy me a new one.
So I basically left the whole Psp scene (both homebrew and regular games) altogether. And I am just now returning.
I've read about new motherboards being installed which "block" homebrew. I don't want that, is there something that I should look for to get a psp that doesn't have that new mobo? Like a specific serial # or something? Or is that blocking homebrew thing just a fake and its regularly bypassable anyway? If thats the case, how?
Sorry for the probably already answered questions, Search wasn't working for me :(
