Dflo bro... mind to put up how to recover ur half brick or brick psp. I mean those who use OE fw. since last night it take me 2 hour to find out how to do the recovery. i think you need to put up few ways since ive read a few of diffrent way such as rename the 150.pbp to Eboot.pbp and some Update.pbp. but both didnt work for me. ive dl a recovery file somewhere then it work well. so its a good to put this though. since it will save alot of time for noob just like me.. hehehe

Yo mod this is thing need to be pinn.. so noob can refer to it.. some time i also refer to it la.. since i am a noob also..

hard to detect... other that what judge have said... if u dont detect as waht mention by judge then just pray it is brand new...

i suggest u get it from trusted seller... who to trust? drop by at some of forumer shop such as djinn and bernard moh.

LOL.. how to rape psp.. ???? LOL but that is a damm cheap price for a 2nd hand psp..

easy to see the graphic.... goto game spot all game got its screen shot.. so browse there la.. hehehe the graphic is not as god as u using ps3 or pc but for sure its better than ps1.. and can say the same as ps2...

if u use the 3.02 sony fw then i think u need to downgrade to 1.5 to to any oe fw.. if im not mistaken la.. i never experience doing downgrading process but what i can tell u is make sure power is sufficient.. best is to plug in ur power supply. Then do alot of research and best is find tutorial u can understand . Then the upgradin is also same.. do find a good tutorial on how to do it.. the process is the same for any custom FW.. so just make sure what u are doin and dont just do it with out any knowledge of what u do.. easy way is contact those forumer that do this service.. but only if u live around them.. hehehe most of them are in KL area..

ive seen some good offer from the psp price thread.. u can refer it there.. i think the best one is from bernard.. might want to give him a shot.. ok.. oh just ask him to give u any OE firmware so no need to think about the downgrade and upgrade thing.

for what i know all psp hardware are the same... just the colour and the content of the package difference. mind to show us the one that u see..

if u still cant understand what king83 telling u, u can follow this link and read the tutorial.
