PSP Go: Si è rotto il fusibile

Fri, 09 Oct 2020 20:48:30 -0700

Ciao a tutti,

Scrivo in questo forum di domande sulla riparazione perché ho scoperto che la causa del non funzionamento dello schermo della mia PSP GO non è dovuto allo schermo in sé ma bensì al fatto che non si illumina, se lo illumino con una torcia si vede un minimo ad esempio.

Volevo quindi chiedervi se qualcuno saprebbe indicarmi una guida o qualche istruzione su come potrei riparare / sostituire questo fusibile o su come sopperire alla mancanza di illuminazione dello schermo con una esterna che lo illumini come se lo fosse di fabbrica (?)

Grazie in anticipo.

PSP Go: PSP Go | Schermo nero

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 09:17:44 -0700

Salve, qualche anno fa mentre stavo usando la mia PSP go mi è caduta a terra, da quel giorno ho perso la mia unica(ai tempi) compagna di videogiochi poiché lo schermo non visualizzava più nulla.

Qualche mese fa ordinai dei pezzi (schermo e flex cable) e li sostituii personalmente quando arrivarono(qualche giorno fa) alla PSP go in questione.

Risultato? Se illumino lo schermo con una torcia si riescono a scorgere con difficoltà le immagini, però questo significa che schermo e flex cable funzionano ora perlomeno.

Come potrei risolvere il problema della retroilluminazione e poter tornare a visualizzare videogiochi nella mia PSP go?

Grazie in anticipo a chi risponderà.

PSP Go: PSP Go - Windows doesn't recognize it, and no charging.

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 19:23:54 -0700

The only method to charge my psp go is through external means, since charging it doesnt work and doesnt accept usb charge either. Although Windows does detect the device but says device malfunctioned and doesn't recognize it. I dont think its the os. The charger works and the cable is both data and power.

All of this started when my psp ran out of battery for a long time and turned it on again, the time setting prompt appeared and accidentally let the battery run out of power, since then it doesn't accept any kind of charging.

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 06:56:43 -0700

Hello everyone, how are you? I have a PSP Go that turns on and works perfectly, but I have a problem with the volume down button: it does not respond. The volume up button works without issues.I managed to replace the flex that connects the motherboard to the button panel, but the problem persists. Has anyone experienced a similar failure or knows what else I could check? I appreciate any help or suggestions you can give me 🙏

PSP Go: Loss of audio Output From Units speakers.

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 01:04:40 -0700

Hi_,

I have my psp go doing an odd thing.

It powers on fine and all functions are correct - save one. Audio.

Initially i susected that the device was assuming thati had headphones in - but when headphones are inserted the volume changes ion screen to the volume i had set last for headphones and audio is outputted through the headphones.

I then suspected that there may be dirt in the dock and thourghly cleaned the dock. Still no sound from speakers.

I then stripped PSP down as per your guides and looked at the speakers themselves - visually nothing "seems" wrong.

What areas should i be focussing on to rectify this fault?

Is it possible the speakers have blown after a heavy bout of dance/trance bass?

If so where can i obtain replacement parts?

Thanks in advance

Coxy

-EDIT-

Reading other psp go problems i found this fuse diagram.

http://www.mr-vizitkin.ru/images/stories...

I dont speak/read russian and dont know if these fuses are relevant.

Anyone care to share a translation?

PSP Go: bricked psp go no power, no charging lights.

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 19:18:31 -0700

I left my psp go uncharged for a time and when i turned it on, the screen for setting the time appeared but the console ran out of battery when i was adjusting the time. So it bricked. The charging lights dont work and the console wont turn on either.

How do i fix this?, i tried charging the battery by external means but nothing changed, i also saw a video of a guy that put his psp go to charge and instead of the battery had a little fan spinning connected to the battery terminals, apparently fixing the brick. But i have no idea if this will fix it. Any ideas?

PSP Go: Why does my PSP GO screen remains blank?

Thu, 11 Jul 2024 12:40:30 -0700

I was playing a game when the PSP Go accidentaly fell. It wasn't from a great height and it wasn't that hard. When I picked it up, the screen was blank so I turned it off for a few minutes and turned it back on. I could hear the startup tone and the XMB clicking when I move the buttons but the screen remains blank. It charges when I connect the charger and even goes to 'USB mode' when i connect the cable to my PC but the PSP GO screen remains blank. Any help?
