the pins sticking out that you plugin the dc in ARE BROKEN
Basically I still dont get what your saying, so im gonna post the fix for the three possibilities

broken power port:
theres only one pin on the plug which you connect to the power adapter and if thats broken then you do the usb charge mod, or buy another plug.

broken pins from mobo which connect to the DC plug:
just hard wire it

broken pins meant for battery:
just hardwire the battery

If its something related to power apart from those three things then I don't know PSP's
ok wait a second ill take a pic right away

okay that looks to be problem no 2, broken pin from mobo that connects to the psp's dc plug, solution is to hardwire the dc port by stripping the wires and soldering them to the places they would've been if the pins were there, or alternatively do the usb charge mod.

Yeah it's not hard. Just cut off the male plug of the charge port, and then strip the wires and solder. USB charge mod is even easier. Just take a wire, and connect it from the 5v pin on the USB to the + pin on the charger port.


As for connecting a ps2 controller to a PSP...

It was actually F00 F00 who did the external controller with 4 USB plugs ;)
And I think Blizzrad was the other guy.

To do this, you basically have to wire all the buttons from the PS2 controller to all the buttons on the PSP. This requires some pretty good soldering, and is quite hard.

how about you just buy this:

oh noes! you have to charge it externally!

You guys always try to turn the simplest of problems into a full hardware rebuild.

NO, the CHARGER cannot connect to the MOBO because the little connector that the charging plug plugs into is broken clean off the board. At least that's how it looks to me, I can't even really tell WTF he took a picture of.

yep, so like I said, get an external battery charger. Its really not much less convenient anyway, only a little annoying that you can't play it while it charges
