First you will need a pin out of the adapter.
Tools you will need are.
1: Solder with rosin core thin solder would be best 2: Soldering iron lower watts the better 3: Flux to clean the surface you want to solder to 4: Sponge to clean the tip of solder iron If you don't have any of thous supply's it would be cheaper to buy a new cord. Also if you don't have vary much experience soldering i would also recommend getting a new cord for the fact you can cause more damage than good.

To get the solder iron ready you need to heat it up. Once it is hot enough to melt the solder apply the solder to the tip and let is set there until you want to solder. You have to clean the tip off with a wet sponge but not soaked in water just enough to get it wet. Every time you go to solder Clean the tip off and apply fresh solder to it not a lot just enough to cover the tip when you want to solder. When you go to store the iron apply a small blob of solder to the tip to keep it from oxidizing.
Strip the wire shielding off a bit longer than the size of the contact you want to solder. Twist the wire and put flux on the surface you want to solder and tin them.
Tinning the wire is just applying a small amount of solder to the wire as to hold the strands together and make it easier to transfer the heat and solder to the contacts. Now mach the pin-out to the weirs to the contacts and put flux on the contact you want to solder to. Clean the surface by applying flux to it.The surface will be oxidized and will not let you transfer heat or solder to the surface. The key to soldering is to use the right amount of heat , solder and time you hold the iron to what your soldering to. You want to make sure you touch the wire and the contact you are soldering to as to transfer the heat to both items at the same time to make the solder flow. Put the solder wire to the tip of iron that is touching the wire and contact and not on top of the iron tip. Any time you apply heat to solder joints you want to use flux to keep them clean and free of oxidized material. After you solder check the solder joints for cracks, uneven and dull surface. You want the solder to look as shiny as possible and smooth. If it looks like it has waves or holes and cracks it means you have a cold solder joint and must reheat and apply flux with a small amount of solder to fix it .Here is a link to help you out this is not my site and full credit goes to the owner of site. How To Solder Soldering Tutorial Also put a link to a new cord if you decide you want to get a new one. Here is a link that may or may not help with the pin-out. Also not mine it should credit the poster on the forum as he did all the work i just found it PSP Go Cradle mini USB Tutorial with Partial Pinout PSP Go Acidmods com

Psp wont charge or tunr on

Did you put the battery back in? Just checking. This sometimes happens with the PSP's. The charger it's self looses the ground. Try plugging in a car charger, or use a charger that will charge the battery out of the PSP.

I hi have my psp and it dont want to charge i take the battery out and put it in my cousin's psp and it charges in his and when it's fully charges it works in mine..... so its not the battery, i...

Hi,
You did a good job in isolating the problem. It does seem that your Power charger port is the culprit. I had the same problem with my unit. What I initially did was I applied slight pressure using my finger pushing the adapter plug in the direction of the start button. Apparently, there was a slight gap between connector inside the PSP charger port and the outside part of the adapter plug. Eventually, I added a small layer of solder to one side of the upper part of the charger plug ( near the top part which is colored yellow ). Dont put too much solder, doing so will cause the adapter plug to not fit inside the port. That fixed the problem for me. !!!As a reminder, please do this if you are experienced in using soldering tools !!!!
If your unit is still under warranty, I suggest you let the Sony Technicians fix it for you.
I hope everything works out. All the best to you.

Psp won't turn on. got new battery.

Hi,
Did you try to use the charger and turn on the PSP? If you use the charger and the psp turned on, the problem would still be the battery, you bought a defective one and have it returned where you bought it. If it did not turned on using the charger, the problem would be internal, a micro fuse might have blown up and needs to be replace. An experience technician in PSP could replace it, because it needs to use soldering.
Hope that helps you out!

I played my psp 3000 till it shut off so i put it on the charger woke up next morning and it wasn't charging no orange light or nothing and i have no back piece

This could be due to a many things:
  • Malfunctioning Battery
  • Loose Power Cable
  • Malfunctioning Power Cable
You should take both your PSP device, and the charger to a professional to diagnose. The problem could be minor, but may also be major, if it is just a loose cable, then the PSP power slot, may just need to be re-soldered, or you may have to buy a new battery/power cable.

My psp charger does not work

hi....is your charger has power indicator but does charge your PSP...if so it's either the power supply has no 12V DC output or you have an open wire or cut wire going to the jack...if the unit itself has no light/power indicator you have a defective power supply... the common problem causing this is that it has a leaky capacitor..try to look for bulgy or bloated capacitor (electrolytic type)...replace w/ same value...or busted fuse....replace also w/ same ampere value....in case of open wiring of jack you can also do rewiring.....all these works needs a soldering iron....good day

Having problem charging. orange light comes on for few secs, then goes back off. could it need a new battery?

Hi,
Please try plug your charger then turn on the psp. If still get the same problem, a piece of 'solder ball type IC' is defective in your psp and need replacement at sony dealer or repair shop.
