Video Game Repair - Psp speakers


Expert: Octane - 11/3/2009

Question
my psp speakers don't work after I was trying to add an external speaker to it. I can still hear static sounds when I put the volume to the max. I tried many solutions like use a toothpick and all other ways but I knew it wouldn't  work because it may be I accidentally put the same wire at both plus and negative outputs. so I think that's the problem. this was my second attempt to move around the cables because I connected to only the right speaker, so I just wanted to move one of the cables to the other side to hear both sides. after I put the cable to the other side, the other one came loose. so I went back to it and all of a sudden the music faded away (I was playing music to check if there were working), and I thought the speakers were loose so I double checked and still no sound. but the earphones still works, so is there anything I can do to fix this problem? since the speakers aren't blown (I checked).

Answer
Gday Eliazar,

Sounds like whatever mod you tried on your PSP has either blown an internal fuse or screwed something up with the headphone jack rendering your internal speakers useless.  (Even though the speakers are working)

I would suggest replacing the board the headphone jack is mounted on.  If you have a PSP slim it's a separate board but if it not it part of the Wireless/Memory stick board.  Cost should be under $20.  since you seem handy pulling the thing to pieces should not be too much of a problem.
