Lol. I saw a cheap soldering iron for like $13; heats up to like 800 degrees.
I have a little LED lamp to test circuits with, so I'm fine...

I know...

So any ideas why my PSP's charging light flickers on and off?

Soldering glue?
How do you make it?

And i have absolutely no way to test the voltage of the battery, besides shoving a LED into it and watching what happens...
Any help?

Umm, how do I test to see if there is a bridge?

And can I fix the scrape without solder?

Sorry for posting so much, but I have a problem.

When I put the battery into my PSP, (I have it plugged into a charger) the charging light blinks orange then black, orange then black, etc.

What is this supposed to mean?

Here's my video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5eXH_9WuDs

NOW I see what you mean...

Is this what I cut by accident?



If so, how do I fix it?

I told you to buy a ready made one, crap, they're $7 for the cheapest one, but did you listen? no. Enjoy paying $30+ for another battery.

Can't I just connect the 5th pin's prongs together to make it a normal battery, if I buy a TOOL battery?

But ...

You mean I cut the wrong prong?

Maybe THAT'S why my PSP's charging light blinks when the system is plugged in with the battery!

Nope.

Lol, nice.

I would have never thought of that (well, maybe if I sat in a dark room for like a month).

I would have made a PSP that sends IR viruses to LEGO RCX's and overwrites their old programs (all of this being dona at a LEGO robotics competition).

I tried this (really, i did!) on all my GameBoys.

1. Take a cotton swab thing you shove in your ear.

2. Wet it slightly (dampen it).

3. Shove it into the system's cartridge slot thing. Move it around.

4. Do the same for the cartridge itself.


Works for me!

Lol.

That would be pretty strange. Any idea why you would do that?

2. When I insert the battery, nothing happens whatsoever. No lights, no sound.

3. The WiFi switch is off.

4. The UMD drive is empty.
