Aww yeah. I'm sure some of you wouldn't dare try to pry open your brand spanking new PSP-3000, but if you were curious about what makes your unit tick, well then here we go. PC Watch managed to gut open their PSP-3000 unit for all the world to see.
As they've noted, the LCD indeed gets a hardware upgrade, but what they didn't seem to mention (and what's of more concern for the most of us in the homebrew community) is its life-saving TA-090 motherboard which we've all found to be compatible with Pandora. Yep, you can see the motherboard's model code displayed clearly in some of the pics. Here's just a handful. If you want to see more, you can head to the Via link.
A shout out to Mohf for submitting us the tip! Related articles:

» FYI
This is NOT the Pandora-capable TA-090. It's more like a TA-090v2. The Pandora battery doesn't even make a PSP 3000 turn on, and if you try to read the EEPROM/serial # off a PSP 3000's battery, you get all null bytes (0x00). They've significantly changed *something*.

» Good to hear, mostly
Sounds like progress is being made, for which I'm glad since I plan to buy a 3k unit to replace my 1k soon enough and I hope that before I do I can have the option of installing custom firmware on it.

How is it good to hear, and where did it sound like progress is being made?
You can't use any existing Pandora, and we can't access the EEPROM of the new battery...

» Do ya think ths will work?
I don't know if someone has already made ths before, but what if any homebrew developer coded an app that allows you to manually change the battery serial number by each number or letter instead of just having the option of making your battey normal or pandorizing it? Just a thought though. Wouldn't it make sense because even on TA-88v3 OxFFFFFFFF it still powers on the PSP but on the 3000 it doesn't do anything and there still must be a away to activate service mode because Sony still needs a method to unbrick the 3000 model.

» well
i figured since pandora wont even start psp and returns null
the trigger serial is more than likely still 0xFFFFFFFF
but the electrics on an actual 3000 service batt would be slightly different
well this is my belief anyway
they've changed something and now i dont thnk its the serial

» It's not so bad
Is it really going to kill everyone to run ofw on their units for a month or two or a little longer than that? If you already have a 1000 or 2000 with cfw then you're fine for now. Everyone keeps on complaining that they won't buy the 3000 until DAX or somebody else hacks it sucessfully. You know it's inevitable so why not? It's probably the pirates that are complaing the most because if you actually own any umds at least you should be content with your purchase. It's not like you're buying a defective unit or anything.
