PSP Power Supply

PSP (Original) Main Board (Power Supply)Tom gave me his PSP after frying it by using the wrong powersupply. The micro fuses were okay, so onto the SMPS! It’s self contained – up in the top left corner in the picture, but, on the other side of the board. I didn’t take a picture of that size for some reason. So, this supply is based on a Texas Instruments Power Management IC, TPS65250. Anyways, closest datasheet I could find online was for the TPS65050 series. I assume the rating are simply a bit different, or this is OEM’d. I’m thinking right now that the main switching transistor is shot…and since those SMD transistors are basically impossible to identify – since they never seem to have any text on ’em – I just pull random ones off of old broken computer motherboards and assume they’re close enough….they all have been so far.
