Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

I bought a PSP 2000 (yuck) from a friend that had no battery.
The battery took ages to arrive, and when it did, everything was fine for about 20 minutes, then the screen developed vertical lines.
The image isnt mine, its from a YouTube video, but its the exact same issue.
Does anyone know a fix? Some one suggested an LCD replacement.
LCD is failing because of a fault in the motherboard design, replace lcd is the fix. It will happen again but hopefully not for a long time
Worth trying to reseat the ribbon cable in case I am wrong and maybe contact cleaner but be careful it’s a pretty delicate connector. Also im fairly confident I’m right fwiw especially if its a ta085
I have just modded a Vita and that is happy with PSP games, so I think I will just use that. If it was a 1000 I would be more inclined, but the 2000 feels a bit too cheap to bother
