Hi all,
I brought a PSP-1000 super cheap from Japan. The shell is totally damaged and the UMD door is hanging off due to a chip on the bottom (it looks like the PSP was dropped).
My plan was to buy it super cheap and restore it with a new shell and IPS display.
However it doesn't appear to turn on. I was wondering if someone could please help me diagnose the issue. Keeping in mind I know nothing about the PSPs history.
- When I plug it in with a charger and try to turn it on, the green power LED will flick on for a split second and then nothing.
- If I put a known working battery in the PSP (that has charge) and try to turn it on, I get nothing.
- If I put a known working battery in the PSP and plug it in, the orange LED will light up. If I try to power it on, nothing.
I read online that I should maybe try holding the HOME button while powering it on? Tried that and still nothing. -- Others have also suggested taking out the memory card and then trying to power it on, but this PSP never had a memory card in it when I received it.
Before I go taking this thing apart, does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing or know what I should be looking for?
Regards!
