Duct tape fixes everything! Taking apart a PSP isn't as difficult as one who hasn't may imagine. It was the first thing I took apart and put back together successfully. Just find a good guide if your nervous, and with the right tools, you'll be fine. I'm sure with it fully diagnosed, you could better evaluate how to fix the problem. But you wanted it running, and by-golly, you got it running alright. Lolz
