Bricked PSPs (and 2.8+ firmware psps)

[XpspX]

I thought so, could you tell me some sort of price on this?

[BL4Z3D247]

I'm just toying with the idea at the moment as I bet there are tons of bricked psps out there. I could fix them for a small fee, put 2.71SE or 1.5 back on, everybodys happy.

I'll let you know how long it takes for me to unbrick one tomorrow..

Ok

Lunchtime I did the following

prepared board for soldering with guides (scraped off soldermask and cut track)

Tinned the FPC

Tinned a single pcb track

this all took about an hour, it is tiny work and it just takes ages. Hopefully I will get faster. Sadly I wont get another chance to do anything else now until monday.. oh well

Seems pretty tedious. I would kill my psp with soldering. Hope it turns out well

mostly, but there have been a few forced bricks from updating, a few accidental bricks from updating, and some partial bricks from flash mods

Not all of them, but ya, I actually bricked 2 psp's by stupid Sony updates., but GameStop took them back, only because I had the 1 year bought warranty for 20 Dollars, but this was back when I lived in America(good times).

If your PSP does not have the TA-082 motherboard, then yes, getting a modchip will work. However, it requires opening up your console and soldering the chip inside. I can figure it's very tough to do and the last thing you want is to have a completely ruined PSP.
