4- | |-8
3- | |-7
2- | |-6
1- | |-5

U should be getting at the pin 5

The one with the Dot in the Plastic is 1

The PSP - 110 batteries are mod-able..
just make sure you have steady hands

^: my dot is on #3 =/
that doesn't seem like a fool proof way to go..

[viz]

may b they are tryin to put ppl off making pandoras batteries by numbering the pins lyk tht, since if i can remember properly pin 1 should have the dot next to it on the casing

[cyrusbow]

yes we no the usally 110 batterys are moddable but if he has the same one as me which he does with the LO2 chip or whatever i dont think anyone has figured out how or really even tryed to do these ones since they seem to be kinda rare but yeh i tryed bout eveything to mod mine i cut pin 5 and 6 and i was going to cut 5 on the other 8 pin chip but from everything i read this wasent the eeprom i did find one thing however all in spanish about how to do it maybe but using google translator i couldnt really make out what they were saying so idk but it dealt with bridging some pins and such idk if it would work i endend up borrowing a friends battery and modded my psp it worked fine i still hav to mod his in return just be sure to be very careful when unsoldering so u can change it back if its your friends battery i no when i was doing my i was using a needle and the first pin i unsoldiered i almost broke but i was able to get that one back in place but when i did i think it was pin 6 it was a while ago i broke that one completly off but luckly my battery seems to work fine without it lol charges and plays so yeh idk my advice is to find one to borrow it would beat paying 40 bucks for one idk maybe mod one mod your psp then unmod the battery and take it back to walmart thats a little unfriendly for my taste but idk do whatever and goodluck

Ok, for those who do not want to buy a new battery (btw its wut i did, the battery you are all speaking about is the one that came with my psp too). You should all tell youreselves that you are very brave for taking up the challenge, but you will need to buy a new battery no matter what, because the pandora battery dosent work unless your PSP is plugged to an external power source. I can tell you now, pay 40$ for a good battery, PLEASE DONT BE STUPID AND BUY THE RIGHT ONE!!!(works with pandora) -SONY....
once you did ure hacking...
get a bunch of homebrews (halo, emulators, etc.) and put a bunch of games on your PSP and show off to all your friends about what you have.... there is NO way they wont want to pay you for you to do the same to their PSP (dont tell them how you know )
you will make your 40$ back in no time!!!

P.S. The Battery you are all speaking of, is one of the ones that go under the name PROT110. Sony had temporarily released this battery and placed it in many of their PSP's (you could only find it in PSP's, never sold seperatly). They stopped distribution because the wires in it made of copper/gold alloy was too expensive to manufacture, though its superior quality to all others (we can see who likes to make money $$ ).

so not only VERY VERY FEW people have the battery (making it hard for anyone to come up with the answer to your questions, but it is also a VERY good battery and you would be waisting it by using -or trying to use- pandoras battery on the PROT110.

OUT!

Dang, looks like I'm headed to Wal-Mart to get a 2200Mah Stamina battery. I have $80 bucks, 40 bucks, oh well, it's worth the Custom Firmware.

here's the the pin layout, hope this helps those very few people who's got this board

[gtapsp]

i've got it working finally my first time ever, I used other method instead of pandora, which is the best, no battery waisted not even opening it lol, got a DATEL BATTERY SERVICE TOOL thingy from europe and got the official battery to pandora without opening it. If you would like to waist 30$ bucks for this thing here's the thing, also a universal unbricker, cant post website, sence i dont have 15 posts, but when i do i'll explain asap on another thread.

[spikeyz]
