Modchips.. Bricked PSPs ... There may be help

[StealthCP]

Interesting idea. However a lot of these services will be popping up all over the UK, as ruli I would be starting up one myself. Don't forget to advertise!

One of the great times to have a girlfriend who is an electronic engineer!

Isn't mod chip installation or system modification illegal?

I know it isn't in our country. Still pretty sure a fully functional "soft hack" will surface some day. Until then I'll stick to my emulated games.

k if this whole thing does work imma sum how brick my 2,6 psp so u can restore the ever so awsome 1.5 lol

[amadeus]

I'll be up for the service.
I'll check out what would need to be done when the chip comes out but It'ld cost me at least what you're charging to get the iron and stuff so I mgiht as well relax and let someone else do it!

Can someone point out to me, where it says this requires solder?

[T-2000]

heres a mention of soldering..

.................................................. ................................
The FPC cable also helps by reducing the mechanical stress placed on the solder points, making a U.P. modified PSP shock resistant which is important for handheld systems.

.................................................. .............................
now does tht mean the excisting solder points or the ones needed to be solded..

do you think they will start selling psp's with the mod chip already installed in them ???

liksang use to sell modded xbox and ps2...i dunno if they still do that...


and you probably find soon a import/export game shop near where u leave where they can install the chip for u...

...............later the soldering iron gets hot, the person gets ready to solder but forgot the lead, goes for the lead leaving the soldering iron next to the already opened psp, the cat jumps to the table where the psp and the solder is, plays with the soldering iron, the cat gets burned by the soldering iron, the soldering iron is in mid-air then falls towards the psp and LISTO!!!!!
the psp gets screwed!
the person returns and looks at the psp burning and making a huge smell of burned plastic and hot metal and a hole that the soldering iron made.
so thats a story.......
lol
i threw one bricked psp to the garbage (took the screen out, the wi-fi thingy, lighty thingy, buttons,faceplate, analog stick thingy, laser eye thingy)
leaving just the motherboard naked, to the trash, and i still have the parts here.
its too late for repairing it, unless i go to the garbage center of new york to get it back. (that will take forever)

baka neko!

I've found my soldering iron that I bought to use at school 4 years ago.
I'm going to buy lots and lots and lots of solder. I'm very bad at soldering so I think i'll need like 100 or 200 metres of solder.
I will practice soldering on scrap materials till all the solder has gone, and I will finally master the art of soldering!

Shame I wasn't this interested in soldering when I was doing my electronics GCSE...
I might have got higher than an E, and my project may have done more than just drain batteries!
