Does the connector use pins or pads? SMD soldering is tricky, but it'll be cheap and easy if the connector uses pins rather than BGA or some other crazy crap. There's a lot of tutorials online for doing this with celphones, though I haven't found anything specifically for PSP's. Google something like mobile phone usb repair and you should turn up something useful.

Good luck, and don't buy a new mobo unless you screw up...No point in spending $60 when you can do it for under $15.
