While googling around to figure out what might be wrong with these consoles I came across threads talking about a blown fuse being the culprit for no display. I was able to find lots of info about PSP 1000-3000's, but I was only able to locate speculation threads as to which fuse it was on the Go. I mean really anyone could figure out if a fuse is blown by simply using a multimeter, but I just wanted to make a short and sweet thread to confirm the location of the blown fuse on my consoles. Both of these consoles now work 100% perfectly.

Basically if you've done any googling you will probably come across this picture. Their image is correct, the F fuse pictured is at least one of the fuses used for backlighting. From what I could tell there was maybe one or two posts making note of this, but there didn't appear to be a clear answer. And while I say their picture is correct, I will say that it is not smart to use a solder bridge to repair a blown fuse. The fuse blew for a reason and it might happen again, and because it died there is a chance to repair the backlighting. After buying new F fuses and swapping my blown one for a working one the screen lit up once again.

This image contains all possible fuses. I made notes of which fuses of mine did not help with these consoles repairs, but many other people are claiming that backlighting has multiple fuse locations. The middle fuse, the F one, is the only one I can confirm as being used with backlighting, but the others were not blown on my console.
Don't know if anyone really needs this information anymore, but should you have a PSP Go with a blown backlight fuse, the F fuse is the one you want to begin with. Feel free to shoot me a PM if anyone needs help.
