long story short, i think i burned something in my psp while i was trying to adaptit to recieve power from my car( i use my psp as a car stereo). when i connected the psp power to my the power distributer from my system i heard a low crackling sound coming from the psp. so i tried to turn it on and it does turn on with the battery attached but not if i have it connected with the ac adapter. since i dont have a warranty with it, I oppend it up and now im trying to figure out if it is the mother board. i guess this was a long story. anyone has any suggestions to what it could be

yep

From your description of the problem it sounds like a fuse has blown (but I'm not sure if the PSP has any fuses in it)

I have a JPG image showing exactly where the fuse is on the motherboard, its not too difficult to replace if you have a fine-tipped soldering iron, or a needle-nose hot-tip, or just bridge it with a pice of wire (i.e. bypass the fuse) if you are willing to risk more expensive components blowing next time you make such a mistake.

Let me know if you want the pic.
