You did some melting there, looks too hard for me..

And I still didnt understand to what picture should I listen to..

I made a dual pandora due I have only one battery, and I also need use it at normal mode to play, I only use a normal switch

I think the first photo was correct

I made those images for help

steep 1

unsolder the chip leg

plug the battery to test if the psp turn on automatic when put the battery (DONT turn the power switch on!!, it should turn on automatic, you also will need the magic memory duo stick with pandora software)

if the test success continue or close the battery

if you only want a pandora, donÂ´t continue the next steeps and close the battery plastic box

steep 2 (only read this if you want a dual pandora (pandora + normal only changing a switch)

solder a cable to the chip leg without touch the old site

steep 3, solder a switch to the cable, and in the other switch`s leg solder another cable to the main battery gnd (-)

now close the battery, if you want know how the switch work here is another pic

I hope this help someone

First of all - really thanks for the full guide.
As for the dual thing, if I make it pandora it can run every game there is, so why not kipping it as is..

And unfortunately "I think the first photo was correct" isnt good enough, who knows whats can happened if its not the right leg. Do you know\saw\read someone with that battery?

about the dual pandora, I tested the pandora mode ,and I get a black screen when the magic card is not inserted,so you can only install the pandora software or get a "not very usefull" black screen when the magic card is not inserted.

for that reason I use the switch, (the most of time I only need bring up the normal menu and listen music or play), in Pandora mode I cant, so I made the selection switch outside the battery. I also use this because I only have 1 battery so I must use a selection switch due I havenÂ´t more batterys for use. I know the most of people who have a pandora have at 2 batterys:
one allways in pandora mode ,and the other allways in normal mode.

(but i donÂ´t have the other battery

)

about the chip leg, "IÂ´m NOT 100 % fully sure" about the first photo will be correct, but I donÂ´t think so about unput only a leg will damage permanenlty the system.

It is easy, if something donÂ´t work, only let the chip leg like before. and it will run at normally. anyway you allways have the power of election about make or not do something

IÂ´m srry also if my english is wrong, IÂ´m not a native, IÂ´m spanish

ok, now you know fully sure what is the correct leg

but it is weird, due on my 110 battery (the other different model) the correct
leg was the number 5.

now you only need unput the leg,and then check if the psp power on automatic,if the test sucess, you also can made the optional switch mod.

I dont know its just a picture, but it is doubt my confidence.

kasar · Post by **kasar** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 2:52 pm

ok. Then you can choose:
leg 4 or leg 5 , (I vote for leg 5 ^^)(:lol:)

nah,donÂ´t worry
Its better be sure before mod anything
If I got another info about this battery, I will reply.

good luck!

Hi,

I just cut the leg 4 and 5, and the battery works perfectly but does not seem pandorisÃ© ...

The console does not turn on automatically.
