Well, after doing sever tests, I have decided to put this pandora on the back burner for now, at least until I get more time to mess around with it. It seems that there is something unrelated to power delivery, so that leaves the caps/resistors, or the chips. And, being honest, I don’t feel like...
I checked that when I was inside the pandora. I took a look at the solder jopinmts, and they were good. I used a multimeter to make sure, and there was uninterrupted continuity. I also did an old fashion jiggling of the connector, and saw no evidence of dry solder.
Tried these, unfortunately no luck still. I did check my PSP power adapter, and it is outputting the full 5v. I put it on charge for 24 hours, with no real change in the situation, so while I had the board out to check continuity, I went ahead and tried cleaning the board again, and I'll see...
Well, I just checked the battery, and it charged it up to 3.8v. I tried powering it it on again, and no dice once again. I checked the voltage on the battery terminals not he pandora itself, and its outputting a solid 4 volts. So at least power is seemingly going through.
Nope, no lights at all :(
I haven't yet measured the voltages when charging, i'll go ahead and try that once I confirm it's not just the battery being dreadfully undercharged (I'm starting to wonder if it may be worth plugging the battery into an independent battery charger, but somethings...
Really? Wow, sure takes its time. Then I’ll go ahead and leave it on charge for the time being, just to see what happens, though I’ll still be open to any pre suggestions in the meantime :)
Hello! I just got a pandora that was sold as parts not working. I mostly got it as a prop, as i've always wanted a pandora since I was a wee lad. That and it was pretty cheap (all things considered). But I at least want to try fixing it, as having a working pandora would be even better!
I have...
