PSP-3000: unboxed, scrutinized, disassembled, and stripped for everyone’s pleasure

PSP-3000 - Image 1 Aww yeah. I’m sure some of you wouldn’t dare try to pry open your brand spanking new PSP-3000, but if you were curious about what makes your unit tick, well then here we go. PC Watch managed to gut open their PSP-3000 unit for all the world to see. Yeah ok, the LCD’s gotten an upgrade and all, but what concerns most people in the homebrew community? The new Pandora-compatible TA-090 motherboard, of course!

As they’ve noted, the LCD indeed gets a hardware upgrade, but what they didn’t seem to mention (and what’s of more concern for the most of us in the homebrew community) is its life-saving TA-090 motherboard which we’ve all found to be compatible with Pandora.

Yep, you can see the motherboard’s model code displayed clearly in some of the pics. Here’s just a handful. If you want to see more, you can head to the Via link.
