Sony (PSP) Playstation Portable 1000 Restoration. In this video I will restore and repair the first version of Sony PSP. The console came to me as part of lot of old consoles. It's dirty, the buttons are yellowed, it makes a horrible noise when I try to play a game and the circle button need to be pressed really hard.

I had a PSP 3000 and it still sounded the same as a 1000, I see. I happened to get one of the few silver versions, which were paired with certain games. Mine came bundled with Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the exact game I was getting the console for, without knowing it was a bundle. I admittedly kind of screamed in joy at Game Stop when the guy stopped trying to sell me on a black PSP/Madden combo and listened to the words coming out of my mouth (my specific request for a silver console. When he brought out the KH bundle, he looked disgusted, as though I were going to be disappointed. Seems he was pushing his thoughts on the game/series on me. Just do what the customer asks, I don't need you trying to steer me away from the thing I have clearly requested. I did my research, I knew what I wanted, and I refused to accept anything other than the silvet version. His attitude nearly soured what I would otherwise consider one of my favorite purchases).

You should try the pain that is the Nintendo DSi. There's supposed to be a small gap in the ring to remove the ribbon cable of the top screen, there was none meaning I had to buy a new one. Then when assembling, you had to gently put all the buttons back, the on/off button broke off completely. That was the hardest handheld I've worked on so far.

You probably already know this, but something that may help all the buttons work better, is to pop out the rubber membrane. Take a piece of printer paper and gently rub the black pads in a circular motion on the paper, one at a time. Using the paper as a very fine abrasive, it can help restore the conductivity of the pads. I learned this from either you, or RetroGameTech, not sure which. Wanted to bring it up just in case you didn't know. Awesome job on the Resto!

@granmastersword
@granmastersword 2 роки тому
like the previous commenters stated, they tried with the PSVita, but flopped due to suffering some of the issues the PS3 had during its launch and more. It was priced $250, almost $100 more than the 3DS at the time of the Vita's release. Its game catalog during release wasn't varied enough to justify its purchase. It had a myriad of gimmicks that either worked but was underutilized (movement sensors, Gravity Rush being a good example of its use), or completely useless that just made the device expensive (touchpad on the back). And to top it all off...it didn't have internal memory until the release of the PSVita Slim, but even that one only had 1GB of space, so you had to buy a memory card separately. It didn't really help that it only accepted the Vita dedicated memory cards that were expensive as balls, so you couldn't use MicroSD cards. Really...the Vita is a sad case of a handheld that had some potential for greatness, but was severely mishandled and neglected by Sony

When I got back from school, knowing the fact that my PSP was gone pissed me off so hard that I ignored my grandma for a couple of weeks. Yes, I was a spoiled kid. After those weeks December 2006 Christmas, my grandma prepared a present for me. Guess what, it was a PS3. I was thrilled and happy. I hugged her and gave her a kiss. But unfortunately, that was the last present she gave me. The weeks that I was ignoring her, she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She told my parents not to tell me because she didn't want me to be upset. Few months after Christmas, she passed away. I held her hands when she closed her eyes forever and said,'Thank you.' I kept the PS3 until now. The memories that I can't put down.

It was back in a time where not everything had to be made ultra-thin, so the console could get away with being a bit chunky. Still some impressive engineering and I was extremely fond of the thickness of my PSP because it made it more comfortable to hold. A shame that their usual attention to detail didn't stretch to a joystick that didn't eat the fingerprints off your thumb. They did much better several years later on the Vita, but the game catalogue for that one was just depressing by comparison. A real shame, since the Vita is such an excellent portable console.

@@melxb Their phones are some of the best designed on the market in terms of overall fit and finish along with hand feel. Honestly, if there were anywhere near me that carried their Xperia 10 IV where I could buy one in person, well, I suspect my resolve to save my money when I don't strictly need to upgrade my phone would lose out and I'd walk out of there with a shiny new phone. They're so pretty, the screen is incredibly bright and Sony's Triluminos image and HDR processing really is about the best you can get, and they kept the stereo front-firing speakers and the headphone jack that they brought back to their flagship lineup. I adore a phone with stereo front-firing speakers, because it just makes the experience of trying to watch videos when you don't have headphones available so, so much better. They also kept expandable storage, unlike Samsung, so you aren't locked into the amount you bought on your phone. Great for people with massive music or film libraries. Plus, I actively prefer when manufacturers keep standard top and bottom bezels to hide sensors and speakers in. I don't think they look worse for it and it allows you to retain the entirety of your display, uninterrupted, for content consumption. Such a good device.

Normally I find these relaxing but this was by far the most stressful video yet, having done a bit of game console disassembly I was surprised by how complicated the PSP's internals are compared to a DS Lite or even some home consoles like the PS4 Pro. Every ribbon cable and screw you disconnected and removed I kept thinking "Now you have to remember exactly where that came from and get it back in place." Really nice result in the end.

The 100x series was more complex, it features a sound card that connects to the motherboard, that not only controls the sound output, but also features the headphone jack, memory stick slot, and the wireless communicator/wi-fi module, motherboards, and sound cards from the 100x series, were twisted, I used an sound card from an TA-082 model (not the ms-399, but different, however, there is no model number) into a TA-079, and there wasn't any sound output, unless I connect some headphones. Instead, I had to use a specific sound card for TA-079 motherboards, which is an MS-268, and finally, no need to plug headphones to get sound output.
@Levin_Pilot_246

PSP 200x and 300x models (not sure about the Go, and the E1000 models) are more simple, since the sound card for the 200x, is a small chip without wireless, and memory stick built in the sound card, only headphone jack, and that's it. The 300x models has no seperated module parts at all, everything is built in the motherboard, including sound module. Now, I know some people hate the 300x series of the psp, is more complex against custom firmwares, and their screen modules has scanlines, to me, to be honest, scanlines didn't bother me at all...

So many good memories with this console too. While the game library may have been a bit limited, the graphics capabilities of something that compact, for that time, were astonishing. I still remember playing the Naruto fighting game and Final Fantasy Crisis Core on my black 1000. The Vita has some of the absolute best joysticks, as opposed to the thumbprint removing ones on these, so if you ever plan to build a portable version of a different console with integrated controls, consider either the Vita or the Switch joysticks.
