Tutorial: Speaker Mod for the PSP



sorry for the bad quality eh. sweat.gif

Speaker used: Sony Ericsson MPS-70 Portable Phone Speakers
it really booms the sound, but drains your battery like a vampire. will post a mini tut shortly after i disassemble it.

Notes:
:: Do note though that I only did this mod. How you wanna customize it, place it, modify it, is fully up to you. I got no resource to make a new backplate to house the newly placed speakers, that's why its sticking out like that.
:: Please follow the exact steps in this tut as you can possibly damage your psp permanently.
:: Warning, massive pict bomb.


now, lets get started shall we?. nod.gif

items:
a Sony Ericsson MPS-70 Speakers
a meter of different coloured 30gauge kynar* wires (depends, if you dont wanna color code, you can use only one color)
a soldering kit consisting of soldering iron, solder, soldering paste (flux), a damp cloth (to wipe off the bit of the soldering iron.makes the soldering process cleaner without black carbons)
tweezers if you have a hard time handling small parts
wire cutter, wire crocodile pliers
a solder wick if you got any
and of course, a psp. haha laugh.gif

*30 gauge is the size of the wire.


The speaker part.

The psp part.

Soldering the amp to the motherboard.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


After all that is done, reassemble the psp carefully. try not to break anything in the process. sweat.gif
test the speaker.
done.

Can try Appolon Black also. I really like that theme. Too bad heartbeat isnt on 4.01 M33. Thats a cool theme too. Changes colour when you go into different places.
*
you should try whippedcreme for 4.01 , changes color too. nod.gif but a little annoying, messes the bground's color. haha.

As far as i know,WhippedCreme/HeavyCreme is a creation of both SchmilK and XanderChaos.The theme however,is based of SchmilK's pervious theme which is known as "SchenShiTiViTy" (Can't spell it right lol),so most credits of the theme goes to SchmilK.XanderChaos helped SchmilK to implement the creation of his which is the "HeartBeat" effect which gives WhippedCreme/HeavyCreme a whole new feel (At least for me) hehe xD You should see SchmilK's Sony OSK(Keyboard thing),looks really sweet.

Forget those parts first, can I pry out the wifi button directly?
Or i have to disassemble to this level http://www.llamma.com/PSP/repair/images/co...tal-housing.jpg

Sorry ya, this will be my first hard mod.
*

sorry, you cant pry it directly. and that link you gave dont give me the permission to enter. gotta register first eh? sweat.gif
the wifi switch is soldered onto the motherboard, so you'll need to take the psp apart since its located on the underside of the motherboard.

hehe


Added on August 31, 2008, 8:06 pmhttp://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=777692&hl=

is this suitable for the LED MOD?

*
1st Q: i think that is the one, but i dont know about the model. burned my led once. try asking him about 0603 SMD leds. i think he got that kind of led. icon_rolleyes.gif
2nd Q: yes it is. nod.gif but its advisable to keep the led number below 4 for each speaker if you wanna do stereo led mod. it'll affect the sound quality.

So I just take out the motherboard then ok rite?
*

what are u trying to do actually?.
if you're using the wifi switch as the speaker/led switch then you should take the motherboard out to solder on the pins. smile.gif

oh wait doh.gif sorry i didnt read your pervious posts. yeah the wifi switch can be pryed out without taking out the motherboard. just be careful doing that. the wifi switch is kinda small and quite vulnerable.

**added
you are just gonna paint the trim right?

SOUND REACTIVE LED'S

penmarker..
that wan if i use the guide exacly like the 1st page..
the mono wan..
it'll be like the youtube vid in there rite?
means the light will follow the beat.
if it's correct then i think it's pretty simple..
cause i went to acidmods..
there they show together with speaker..
i duwan.
*

yea2 follow the 1st page's tutorial and you'll do ok. nod.gif its very simple and the result will be like the youtube video.
of course, that light on from the umd door is because he drilled a hole there. so the light inside will show through.
