i ♥ my PSP - Part 7 - PSP Motherboard Replacement

**NOTE: If you have a brick today, you should check out something called Pandora's Battery. Motherboard replace is no longer necessary to fix bricks.**


Watch me bring life to the dead!! Come on kiddies, this one's not for the faint of heart. Steel your nerves and get ready for some PSPSurgery. Muhuhahahah!

This is a recording of my first attempt to open my PSP and replace the motherboard. The motherboard coming out is a 3.03 OE-A' firmware that was bricked by Kando's Cintro Mod, the firmware of the motherbard going in is 1.50. I bought the motherboard on eBay for $90. My Canon SD 100 recently died which is why I haven't made any new videos in awhile. I had to borrow a camera from someone, is an HP 735 which I'm not used to using so bear with me. I also maxed out the abilities of Windows Movie Maker with this project. It simply would not compile the movie, there were too many effect and cuts. I ended up having to cut it into 4 peices, making them separately and putting them back together and remixing the entire audio track. It was a major pain. I definately need to upgrade to some professional movie editing software. The next PSP mod video will be coming out soon, so stay tuned.


Soundtrack
Guns 'n' Roses - Don't Cry (Alt)
DJPretzel - Altered Beast Resurrection (Breakbeat OC ReMix)
Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl
Dj Biggie - Michael Jackson - Thriller (Bad Boy Remix) [??]
