Solar Rechargeable Battery Powered PSP Charger

Step 2 Prep time!

First things first, you should lay out everything to make sure you have adequate space to fit everything in the box. The solar cell I hacked out of the garden light was just slightly too big for the tin, so I had to sand down the top and bottom edges to fit it in the lid. Even with it sanded down, I had to cut out part of the inside lip of the tin to accomodate it. Next step is to mark out where you want the switch, LED, and power cord situated. The switch and LED holder just take a nice drilled hole, and I just cut a slit down the side of the tin for the power cord. Another possibility (in hindsight) would be to drill a small hole for the cord before attaching the PSP adapter to the end of it. And that's it! We're prepped and ready to ASSEMBLE!!!
