PSP Magical Security Mod


Submitted by greg; December 04, 2007


Move over Criss Angel, you ain't got nothin' on this! l0rdnic0, member of Acidmods, has the mystifying ability to power on/off PSPs by simply waving his hands over top of the device. Allow l0rdnic0 to demonstrate...
Disabling your original PSP on/off/sleep switch, and replacing with this one, you will no doubt fool your siblings, thieves, or whomever else is unable to keep their hands off your stuff. Details on the mod; visit Acidmods.

Um... Great... Everytime you go through a tunnel or put it in your pocket it turns on and off... Very un practical IMO... Would just be easier to have a PW screen at startup.

LOL it uses a magnet to turn on and off ther is a tiny glass tube inside called a reed switch. if you pass a magnet over a reed switch it actovates. so with out the magnet it won't turn on or off.

Hmm, so how exactly do you turn it off? From what I could see all it does is go into sleep mode and wakes back up? Looks pretty cool all the same, though.

roland corp has something similar called D-Beam.

hey, this is a cool mod. Not all mods are useful to all people. When anyone commenting negatively here comes up with something better, let me know.

I didn't investigate it any farther than what was written on psp-hacks.com(this article)... And it stated nothing about magnets... So as far as I was informed this is a stupid idea.
But now that I know theres magnets involved I know the maker is probably a moron! What kinda idiot would mix magnets and computing electronics?!?

Magnets only really effect CRTs and hard drives, neither of which are part of the PSP (unless you actually bought one of those stupid PSP hard drives).

Nifty untill you for some reason in the middle of a game have to change position and grab hold of your PSP with one hand in the mioddle of a game and "Turn it OFF" *Lolz*

# l0rdnic0 2007-12-05 10:46
You’re a fool!!!! The PSP has non shielded speakers built in it, why don't you google "non shielded speakers" and figure out what that has to do with magnets! Dummy make an educated comment next time.

If you want to fully power down the unit you hold the magnet over the reed switch for two seconds, much like holding the factory power button in the up position for two seconds.

No its a reed switch!

# l0rdnic0 2007-12-05 10:55
Its fine, the PSP does not have a CRT or a hard drive so there is no problem using a magnet to turn on the PSP with a reed switch. Also as posted before the PSP has magnets in the speakers that Sony uses in the PSP and you don't see any problem there :)

the point is perhaps not what it does, but the potential it can create. keep doing what your doing l0rdnic0. good job.

I think it's pretty cool, I wouldn't use it, but acidmods, have a great resource for mods. not everyone will use them, but that's not the point, right?
