hi guys. as the title states. ive been doing shell swaps for some PSPs, and one thing ive noticed that i found interesting and frustrating is that after the shell swap, the PSP either gets bricked immediately or bricks after a while, say a couple weeks, even if it was a-ok and running fine before the shell swap.

i found that disconnecting the super capacitor helped, tho one of the PSP came back alive with that fix and then died again after.

if you mod PSPs, is this very common? how did you resolve this? should i just buy a bunch of super capacitors and replace them as i do shell swaps? seems kind of a drastic measure

thanks in advance for taking the time to read !
