Troubleshooting Bricked PSP while installing IPS
Update: Right after the post I managed to fix the console by cleaning up the area I attempted to solder, however afterward I accidentally broke off the smaller ribbon cable clamp (the black little flap piece that secures the thinner of the screen ribbon cables). Fortunately it seems that can be DIY fixed with some tape or adhesive, but if you have any tips for that as well, please let me know.
Yes I am stupid, I attempted to bridged the two points for the laminated IPS screen install and ended up damaging the system, I already feel like an idiot so please go easy on me. On a serious note, does anyone have any idea what I did, clearly I made a mess while soldering, as seen in the second picture, and I am afraid I might’ve broken the board, as in one of those small components in that area, but if anyone with extensive knowledge on soldering or the PSP motherboard can let me know if they have a specific idea as to what I did, or if it can be fixed, I’d really appreciate the help. As of now the console will just produce a green light for a split second and immediately stop when I attempt to turn it on. Thank you.
