- Repair Shop PSP LONG - I bought this PSP for $80 from a viewer who said they had a botched repair from a repair shop. We'll be working on fixing the screen, the battery, and a few other components on the motherboard. Let's see if we can get it to turn on again!

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.
If you've got an android phone you can emulate psp games on there.
@@BilalKhan-ml3ht Emulators are great, but they cannot emulate the joy and feel of an actual PSP console. These are a timepiece for sure.
Ebay - I've gotten 2 (1st and 2 gen) for about $20-25 that worked fine except for a battery replacements.
i bought mine at the flea market for $30. had to fix the door on it. it can charge up & stay on for a while & the next day the battery is dead
Second best Sony system ever behind the PS2.
Screen replacement has to be one of the easiest things to do on any psp model and for a repair shop to mess it up that bad shouldn’t be open
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.
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!
The psp was the first thing I ever repaired. My co worker failed to rehouse his psp 3000 and was going to throw it away. I took it and repaired it with the housing of his choice. It makes me happy to see you repair one! :)
That blue shell psp is gorgeous. Other regions had their own flavor of blue but I also reckon that, at least the shell, is a Japanese one. Haven’t seen that color elsewhere myself.
The blue one was common in Europe too.
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 🤘
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.
you are a friggin God since I've been looking for this exact tool for years and have been having to resort to using flux, braid and a little heat.
@@DriftKingfromTekken3 The Talon works on the MX-500, PS2E-01, STSS-01, STSS-02 units, might be others but I have used those units before.
We had Blue PSP in France too, I have one but it's an expensive model here too !
Can never get enough of PSPs...
Really great fix Steve.
my man your looking better hope your more healthy now glad to see you doing well
Steve im glad to see you look healthy again man i was worried about ya i love all your videos man thanks for this one your channel is my fix man lol i recently got into restoring Nintendo 64's and YOU were the inspiration my guy.. Thank you for everything you do!
I think this a video he recorded before the shaving.
@@wombattosDid I miss something? I mean I know about his current look but OP makes it sound like Steve went through something bad….
@@J0kerHecz He had cancer & been under chemotherapy, currently he's under complete remission :)
unasked tip: you can remove the fuse without hot air the same way you soldered the fuse with just the soldering iron and a bit of soldering tin (you melted the plastic from the charging port anyways)
I didn't realize I stopped breathing there for a while, lol. Great vid.
Having dismantled a DS lite, a PSP and a PSVita, I would say that the PSP is the easiest. Just have to take your time, be patient and be gentle with it 😅. Just like what Steve did. Great job! 👏
I recommend Zeiss Lens Wipes for cleaning the screen and the protector, and Polywatch for removing fine scratches on the outside of the protector/ case.
You always do a great job repairing your products. Once you buy something from the customer and you fix the issue with their old products, can that customer buy the fixed price products back?
Amazing work!
I’ve replaced so many locking tabs without replacing the ZIF connector cause it’s so much faster. I feel you that they are fragile but once you see how they are supposed to clip in, and each one is different, it’s way easier and quicker.
OMG had volume loud and when you went to test battery with multimeter an advert came on at the exact time you put the second probe on and it was a Pepsi max advert that said bam really loud and I jumped and thought it had shorted out, lol, first time I've jumped like that in a RUclips video
i think they should be screws for the L and R buttons bracket, nice repair
You forgot the metal reinforcement that goes at top of the screen.
I keep meaning to ask what type of flux you've been using lately? I like how clear, yet viscous it is.
Of course it was gonna start up, there’s no way you put it all the way together and cleaned it spotless, without testing.
I bought mine Vibrant Blue PSP 300 for equivalent of about about 60 USD about 3 years ago. Spend another 10 USD for parts. I played and completed 3 Final Fantasy games, and both God Of Wars on it since, not to mention a lot of Everybody's Golf in local multiplayer (I have 3 different PSP's and they are all in perfect working condition, and they are sill used every month, usually by my naphews) but the blue one is used almost daily. I have quite a nice collection of consoles (PSP, PS3 Fat with PS2 BC, PS4, Famicom, Gamecube, XBox, XboX Series X, Genesis and Dreamcast) but I still PSP is the one I play the most. Maybe because I can play at most 2-3 hours a week, but still, PSP got wonderful collection of games and I am happy each time I see one in working order.
Didn't see it in the video - did you resolder the end mounting tabs on the connector after soldering all the pins?
That was a funky repair 😂
Why not just remove the black locking flap and replace that, just a thought❤
Yeah, Steve why did you have to replace the whole this why not just replace the little clip?
A little trick for a broken clasp shown @20:44 , just cut some thin plastic and wedge it on top of the ribbon
I found a dude that was dumping "for parts or repair" PSP 1000s at $30 each on ebay a few months ago and the only real catch was that it was whatever PSP in his stash that he chose.
It could have been run over by a car but still turn on, ya know?
After doing that sweaty guy that needs to choose a button impression, I took the gamble and then internally rationalized wasting $30 haha.
I got a blue one like what you are working on with a badly broken screen, no battery cover, the thumbstick cover was missing, there's some weird dried up gum goo on the top right corner, and mild scratching on the back. The metal disc circle thing on the back is super scratched somehow too.
It does turn on though. I heard the start up noise when I put a battery in and tested it.
I found a packet of multi colored thumbstick covers with a blue one in it and a new screen that is supposed to be the best screen for the PSP 1000 as of now. I also found a battery cover that is the same shade of blue.
All I need now is free time to take it all apart and put it all back together.
It's all just sitting there waiting for me on my soldering station.
I did not know the blue version was most likely a Japanese only model though, so this will be my first Japanese console in general on top of that if it is.
Thank you for that little nugget of knowledge 👍
When putting down parts that you might be able to bump when your soldering, is it a good idea to put some kind of small dab of say glue to hold the piece in place while you're soldering?
Thats nice of you to give the guy $80 for it. I guess you can make a video after all
Even being extra careful it's possible to mess up those ribbon connectors. I hate those clasps.
I bet using a .05 higher amp fuse is far better than using a solid fuse with no short circuit.
Steve repaired himself too. Thats why he's got his hair back. New channel name 'biotronicsfix'
Why didn't you use that yellow tape or something for a heat sink around your work? It looks like you melted the latches on surrounding connections
How rare were the pre USA psp’s with 1001 serial numbers? I had one of those and the red god of war edition
That funky ribbon cable should be underneath.
“That was easy!” *instantly breaks it* 😂
Well i butched my first psp around 2005 or 2006 also when i tried to fix the screen. The main problem was back then there was no teardowns i could have watched and the screws where confusing i seperated the blacks and the metal ones only to realize later there where two types. But i eventually fixed it, (baught a new case and fixed the blown fuse that the worong installed display frame blew. i wouldn't sell it but it is the one device where my c coding journey took off. I wouldn't recommand just bridging the fuse. The fuse could prevent bigger damage when the Display Frame gets bend inwards and shorts out something. I replaced the blown fuse with a self reseting one.
Those LCD locking tabs are HORRIBLE no matter what. I did the same exact thing on a PSP 2000, the latch slid right off like how it happened to you, luckily I was able to get it repositioned, but I think it's common for those latches to be pretty terrible.
I have around 20 Nintendo Switch and switch lites in various stages of repair and disassembly. I was wondering if you would be interested in them. I tried my hand at working on them. But I found I’m not very good at it. I have a ton of new parts too.
Do you knew if the psp 2000 lcd connector is the same as in the psp3000 or psp1000?
I dont find the connector to buy
On this repair, do you ever check the button batteries???🤔🤔
Steve, can you please give us an update on your health? I went through something very similar last year, neck (lymph node) and throat cancer (non-smoker). I luckily did not require chemo/radiation. All is well so far!
Actually that metal thing goes on top egde of screen and its used to properly mount the screen as it holds the screen from top and then one of the top screws through it
Omg I might've just found what could be wrong with my old psp, i took it apart recently but couldn't see what's the problem. I guess I'll try again soon😭😭😭
What do you think fixed this? Just simply reseating all the ribbon cables, bad connection with the "fuse" or the connector for the screen was already broken? Maybe not having the analog stick ribbon cable plugged in but I doubt that. I miss my PSP from back in the day. I took a "friend" in so he wasn't homeless and he stole it. Anyway good fix!
Yeah, it'd be interesting to know exactly what fixed it
Probably bad "fuse". It seemed like it wasn't getting any power.
Well done Steve
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.
I forgot to say thank you to whoever responds! So thanks everyone!
Have you ever used superglue to hold the plastic in place while you solder the pins?
What’s one thing you learned from this video?
Bro you forgot to put that screen top holder 😅
13:35 couldn't you just desolder the 2 pins with a soldering iron, to avoid damage to the port?
Question: Do u have a website, or how can i send you my elite 2 to fix? RB doesn't work properly
damn this was a roller coaster
HI, i have a module from guitar hero drum, but not sync with receiver =/
Could you help me to find the circuit map ?
I dont find whre can fix it =/
Why didn’t you use hot air under the zif connector to remove and replace ?
That was amazing interesting video
quote from tronic: "and we are just going to blow this off" BWAHAHAH.. im a child, i know.
how do you "break" something "with quotations"???
why add flux when removing components from the board?
Flux helps the solder flow
I'm in the US, and I have a blue psp slim.
wouldn't heating the solder with a wick have worked better then heating it with the heat gun as it wouldn't blast any heat to the plastic
Was it the fuse or the connector that fixed it
Awe! Steve broken it 😮
Those locking tabs on the screen connecters are so fragile. Scares me everytime I go inside a PSP to change the screen
your awesome!!! nice work!!!!
Are these devices actually being sent to repair shops or are the previous owners just meddling by themselves?!
Just because I'm trying to learn. Why doesn't removing the fuse from the top of the board also cause a problem? Is it unnecessary or redundant and therefor okay that it's not present? EDIT: Or did I miss that it was taken from a donor board?
It was from a donor board...
A lot of the PSP batteries tend to go bad
can it play games on it? save games?
Mine is blue bourght in Denmark
He tore the connector
I hate the light and display connector on the psp.
Its really easy to destroy it even when you are careful. They brake easy
Why is there a microphone on a video game?
I absolutely hate those connectors. I have broken more than I care to admit.
I have 3 phones if you would be interested in them for a video fix 2 phones have broken screens and the other one has a messed up charging port
you forgotten the steal bar its for the wifi buton
on the top
This video just sent a couple of Japanese engineers to the hospital :)
Omg, The screen is one of the easiest things to replace, at least on a 3000 model. I was able to replace my cracked screen in like 10 min.
Que salir mal puede.... El video 🤣
Why does the PSP look fake?
It doesn't
@@iaincowell9747 probably your right that’s why I said it looks fake.
I did'nt see a game in it that was actually working........come on man.
Nobody has psp games anymore
Amazon has the games for sale
This is the extended version of the repair.
Maybe a game working in it is in the super extended zack snyder cut? 😂
The video game exchange store in the mall of my town of only 40k people has plenty of PSP games.
who cares about running UMDs when can flash the thing with custom firmware
Does anyone have a PS3 controller for sale or trade I have a PS3 super slim that I would like to play again.. unfortunately a friend stepped on my camo controller and crushed the left analog stick it still works so can be fixed just want a working one cause I can't fix it
By the way I meant it works but the snap back action in the stick is gone
31:03 no wonder, u broke more than the repair shop 🤦♂
👍👍
I really dislike fake repair shop broke something videos.
Worries about having a short video, screen ribbon connector breaks...boom! Content shortage averted. 😄
wow its psp not nes gameboy sir
NOT A MICROSCOPE!!! WORDS MATTER Luv Ya. Hope you get well soon!!!
Your vids are great, but you pay waaayyyy too much for this stuff, man.
Whatever
Your viewers are either 1) lying about taking stuff to repair shops and just botching repairs themselves or 2) taking stuff to mall kiosks. I refuse to believe all these videos titled this way since people will lie to take the heat off their own ineptitude. Granted this video required more than average knowledge to know what to look for, but I've seen HDMI videos saying the same shit where a layman clearly attempted it then blamed some shop.
A Blue PSP isn't rare 😂
The way your explaining like an amateur😒you made the video boring
b0o0o0o0oring as sheeeeeeeeet
First Lets Goooooo
