PSP Hardware \ LCD Problem

spanky says:

Hi,

I bricked my psp a while back and finally received my new motherboard i ordered the other day. i swapped the boards and the psp was working great. i noticed my left bumper wasnt working so i pulled it apart again then made sure everything was connected/installed properly. put it all back together to test it and now the LCD stays black. i get power and sound and a very very very hardly noticable sony entertainment logo which dissapears quickly. it seems everything is working except the LCD isnt lighting up.

Anyone know what i can do or try to get it going? maybe theres something more than just plugging the LCD cables in to get it going?

Help!!!

Well, the warranty's voided now, so you cant send it to sony. Take it to a pro repairer? No idea mate, sorry bout that.

spanky says:

Well theres no damage anywhere so i dont think thats the prob, unless something in the lcd it self has broken. it just seems strange that it stopped working. i didnt do anything different the second time i pulled it apart. very frustrating.

It you drop the PSP while it was it bits?, Hit the screen by accident?

spanky says:

nope. thats why im so annoyed! did nothing to damage it. its like it just died

11 Feb 2007 - 21:56 Perth

camlew2 says:

Maybe sony makes them so when u pull them apart they die? Are you sure everythine is intact, Wire's etc?

11 Feb 2007 - 21:58 Melbourne, Victoria

spanky says:

11 Feb 2007 - 23:25 Perth

IAMColonel says:

Sbagl. get the story straight. He had a perfectly good reason to take it apart.

He BRICKED it, therefore SONY WILL NOT FIX IT!!

So he had to get a motherboard, and put it in himself. Therefore having to take it APART.

There was absolutely NO reason to make those comments, watch what you say.

Mate, Your the noob, What would you do if you bricked your psp? Just sit there and do nothing with it and just let it colect dust or try and fix it?

camlew2 says:

Bricking is when a update or downgrade goes wrong, It makes the psp not turn on

12 Feb 2007 - 21:18 Melbourne, Victoria

bobs02 says:

i didnt know that was posible when upgrading as in upgrading form the net ot form the umd

spanky says:

i had to either take it apart or use it as a paper weight. the firmware was rooted by a dud firmware hack i was trying (my fault and i accepted the result) which stuffed up and ruined my psp, hence bricking it. so rather than doing nothing i thought i would try fix it. but it seems ive somehow managed to break the screen without knowing it.

Good news is ive bought another psp and im selling the other for parts. so if anyone needs some white psp parts let me know

IAMColonel says:
