Hey
I broke my Wifi switch... unluckily, it was in the off position at the time. The actual silver switch broke, and the tiny 'T' shaped thing (I assume it's the actual switch) has come out too.
I've tried switching it with a pin, but I can't seem to find anything. Also, the second time I tried, I think I shorted it - it wouldn't turn on, though it had full battery, and it still didn't work with the battery out and the AC in.
Is there any way of toggling the switch manually? I suppose I could open it up, but I'd rather not. |

It's just the switch. It's a bummer because I only really use the PSP for Wifi and for testing homebrew for people (alot of them require WiFi... gah). |
