So I made a huge noob mistake and wired 5-8 on the mayumi v4 backwards on my psone. (5678 not 8765) Would this have borked my psone!?!? ha I rewired it and still the CD wouldn't spin or laser track, it just goes to the mem card/cd player screen. So, I removed the mayumi chip and wires and im still getting the same symptoms. Is it salvageable?
My guess is that you blew the +3.3V fuse for the CD controller - double check for shorts, and then get a meter and check the fuses (little black plastic blocks with a "PS" prefix).
Thanks, checked with a multi meter and it looks like i blew the middle one of these, circled in red... i cant even read it with the magnifying glass, what part is this?
Thanks Bad_Ad84! According to Bad, it is a 22ohm resistor. I am going to try replacing the SMD resistor with a standard 22ohm resistor. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks!
Well, thanks for your help guys... I think i've now fucked it up too far. I accidentally lifted the pads on the old SMD resistor and so I tried to solder to nearby trace (that went ok), but then I tried to to do the other side and fucked up again and joined two legs of that nearby chip. While trying to pull the solder from there, I managed to break a leg off the chip from where it enters the chip. So I don't think I can repair it at this point. Oh well, at least I got a little more practice. I am still learning this art! It would have probably worked the first time around had I not gotten those wires reversed. The repair was just too much for my lack of skill!
