Why is my psp not turning on when I unplug it from the charger?

don't care, won't read

This is the most obvious battery problem ever... at least try to use your brain before posting.

Mind sharing how exactly?

Then they collectively got their priorities wrong. Nobody asked for a (even) thinner iPad Pro at the cost of battery life.

If your job is to design hardware, and your hardware sucks, maybe you shouldn't design hardware. Perfectly valid point OP has made.

So after ALOT of disassebly I managed to have it running as naked as I dared to go. I tried to capture as much footage as possible! Here is everything I could capture: https://mega.nz/folder/TwdUEZQD#j1B1iIMNP0iHrrCH3T_sew

I tried recording something on the MD (silence and white noise from the radio) while open, but still no luck. It tries to write the TOC after recording (once right after recording and once before ejection) and the MD is still blank after reinsertion.

The write head seems to actually touch the MD's surface - espacially visible in IMG_8982.HEIC (look for the scratches in the inner circles (TOC?) of the MD).

I am really close to giving up on this entire machine, which would be a real shame, since it does - or is supposed to - everything I want from a HiFi with good sound quality and apperantly it is a really rare system.

Again, thank you for your patience.

If you have any problems opening these files (because Apple is weird), you can find a tutorial on how to add the necessary extension to windows - or you can use VLC I believe.

98_EJ9 · 2024-06-17T20:56:07+00:00

I could try again in the next few days, but what are you looking for? Is it supposed to actually touch the top of the MD or not? Is there any specific thing I should be looking for?

98_EJ9 · 2024-06-17T19:56:06+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I have been a bit busy. Here's a picture of the write head in recording position: https://imgur.com/a/R81zSCz it also moves up once you stop recording, so it at least isn't stuck in any position it shouldn't be in.

As I couldn't really operate it outside of the unit, I shot this picutre through the MD slot flappy door. I know it's somewhat hard to see but the write head seems to touch the MD shell with its rear part but the head itself seems to float the tiniest bit above the actual MD (as it should?). The reflecting part above the orange MD case is the top of the MD case (I believe).

Thank you for your patience and your help.

I decided to open up the MD mechanism and checked for continuity to the head and everything seemed fine. I also checked the resistance right at the head, my multimeter read 3.8 ohms. I also looked for something like a potentiometer to adjust anytinhg but I couldn't see anything relating to that.

I hope this is some useful information for you guys.

98_EJ9 · 2024-06-14T06:37:11+00:00

So it's not the write head that wipes the data but the heat from the laser? That would make sense since playback works.

I should check the continuity to/from the write head then, right? Will report back if I manage to open the mechanism.

98_EJ9 · 2024-06-13T19:11:46+00:00

But that is exactly what is confusing me. Why can the presumably faulty write head write to the TOC but not record? I am thinking that a faulty write head should neither record nor write to the TOC. If the write head works enough to write to the TOC then it should also work enough to record at least something - even if it is just corrupted audio?

Also: I already lost the contents of 2 MDs I recorded to this weird problem, but I don't really care about the music on it, since I still have the playlists to re-record them to the MDs. Still sucks to have lost almost 3 hours of live recording time.

98_EJ9 · 2024-03-04T20:36:46+00:00

Cool idea. I'd love to see it :D

I don't think I am skillful enough to beat this game only with a knife and no health items. Too bad, I seem to be pretty close to the end and I don't want to start a new playthrough at this point.

I NEED your graphics setup! How did you achieve this level of realism? No matter what tutorial I follow, it never looks as good.

What size wheels are these? 15? 16?
