Okay if you read my last thread which I posted not too long ago I was told to that I probably need to get a motherboard or Solder Something So I have a few problems. One of the ribbons connectors connecting the PSP with the Start, Home buttons etc. Fell off and I wont to know if I can fix it and two how do I solder (I know noob question)?

have you tried putting them back on? when you say the ribbon fell off, do you mean the one connecting to the faceplate?

Yes It Is.

if it's in one piece then you don't have to worry, just make sure everything's in place and you should be good to go

Make sure the clamps for the ribbon cables are set well too.

thank you ^_^

also, make sure (points up at EngrishKiller's post) you follow what he said too. i'm saddened to say i don't know of any guides. i'm sure there are some here and *maybe* youtube.

if your ribbon is just pulled out you dont need to solder anything. Just slide it back in and make sure the clamps are tight. Look for a psp teardown or how to disassemble psp on google if you need some guidance.
