How To Check What Motherboard You Have

[the begginer]

If your psp is like the image you have a TA-082 or TA-086 and can downgrade it only if you have version 2.71 & 3.03,3.50 if yours is not a TA-082/TA-086 you can downgrade depending on the version this means: 1.5,2.0,2.5,2.6,2.71,2.80,2.81,2.82,3.0,3.1,3.2,3. 3,3.10,3.11,3.30,3.40,3.50 for now. . YOU CAN'T DOWNGRADE PSP Version 3.51


Look at the top right of the green circuit board where the red circle is on the photo. There may or may not be copper-colored lettering there. Look on the right side, but not as far over (where the blue circle is on the photo). There could also be lettering there.

If the code "IC1003" appears on the right (red circle on photo), your mother board is a TA-082. You WILL NOT be able to use the Undiluted Platinum modchip in your PSP.

If the code "IC6001" appears on the left (blue circle on photo), and there is NOTHING on the right, you have a TA-081 motherboard, and you WILL be able to use the modchip.

*HOW TO determine TA-82 Motherboards from the psp box*


the pictures says it all
"SS259" means the psp has a TA-82 Motherboard WHICH IS DOWNGRADABLE (if you have a 3.50 or lower)

"WS259" means the psp has a TA-81 Motherboard which means it CAN be downgradable (if you have a 3.50 or lower)

good addition to the thread. makes it more sticky worthy then a single sentence w/ a pic

[the begginer]

I've been floating around the site for a while gathering information and have decided to join up and share a bit of info back!

To throw a spanner in the works, I bought a ceramic PSP yesterday and it had "SS259" "I" so presumed the worst, opened it though and it does NOT have the TA-082 board??? So not all SS259's are TA-082.

[the begginer]

your maybe not checking it right or its one of,the new models ta-089

I am definitely checking it right, this isn't the first time i've checked or downgraded a PSP, however I am unfamiliar with TA-089 boards?

Are they known to be downgradable?

[the begginer]

no of course they are not it has more security patches.

[ronnyromero]

my box says WS-259 I, it came with firmware 2.6 wich is correct, but the motherboard shows the IC1003 code, there must be some TA-082 with the WS-259

[pronewb]

omfg...i bought 1 today following the picture and the examples of how to know what mother board and version u got......the thing is a lie T___T!! luckily i had it for 1 hour then i returned it...

[DonKiddick]

I can confirm that I have now successfully downgraded my white PSP bought with the "SS259 - I" code that I mentioned in my previous post.

Big thanks to everyone on the foum for all the info I poured over!
