PSP motherboards won't work with Pandora

Ok, I've spent hours on Google trying to find the solution to this problem with no luck, maybe one of you guys can help me.

I recently acquired about 30 PSP motherboards. Some had physical damage that simply could not be fixed, some were simple bricks that were easily restored with a Pandora Battery and MMS. Then, there's some which my Pandora battery won't work on.

When I connect a battery to the mobo and insert the memory stick, the green light comes on as usual but turns off after about 20-30 seconds. The memory board LEDs do not flash as they usually do. My MMS requires a button to be pressed in order to load the DC8/DC7 (I have both on the card) installation menu. When I try booting with a Pandora battery while the DC7 or DC8 activation button is pressed, the light only stays on for about 2-3 seconds and the memory card lights still do not flash.

I thought at first the problem might be that the Wifi/memory board I was testing the mobos with was bad but since then I have tried 5 other ones. The physical part that connects the mobo to the wifi board shows no signs of damage on all of these motherboards so I don't think that's the problem. I know the memory stick and pandora battery are good as I've used them on at least 50 other systems (I tried a few different memory sticks just to be sure).

Any suggestions? Is there a fuse for the wifi board connector that can be blown just like the common backlight fuse problem?

Oh yeah and I should also mention these motherboards are all PSP Fat mobos and the model varies. Some are TA-79s, some are TA-81s, some are TA-86s.

Sounds like there's mobo damage. Something as simple as a bad capacitor could be causing the problem. Or 1 of many other possible problems.

either way i know of no known "pandora/fat psp" problems.
