Hi..

I was trying to upgrade my FAT PSP from 3.52 m33-4 to 3.71m33, but did not manage to upgrade it successfully, some sorta error. It was still running fine back in 3.52m33-4.

I left my pSp overnite.. and this morning when i try to turn it ON. All i see is BLACK SCREEN and my green LED power light. I cant do anything to it?

How can i fix this? any links to brick psp of my condition?
The green power LCD just turns on 4ever, until i actually hard power it off totally then its off.

Please advice.

if u had extra memory stick and battery
maybe u canask other forumer to do pandora battery and magic stick
maybe u should ask in playstation subforum

u may find somebody in psp thread who have pandora battery to revive ur psp for u.the process is quite fast.

i also have this kinda problem before i try to open my psp i got black screen and my green led light was blinking...........my heart suddenly when cold i think i got myself a brick liao.........then i leave my psp for a whole day then i try to on my psp....it work again..............

make sure your memory stick is not inserted. If m33 still here, you don't need pandora, I think you did something wrong at the ebp file... not sure just a guess

Did you try recovery mode? Press and hold R while turning on. If that works you can put some sort of recovery EBOOT somewhere and have it run it.

Google for it i could be wrong.

try to take to game shop to unbrick it ....

how much does it cost?

RM 30..do it in any where KL or cheras or any LRT station..

if u from cheras area
this sunday try come to cineleisure damansara
we all had competition and some of us will bring psp
maybe can revive ur psp

Why not upgrade to 3.90M33 2 instead.

anyone from Penang can unbrick my fat psp?

i had this problem once...but cant remember the steps to fix this. I followed some instruction online last time....

if u r near kampar/ipoh can find me

hey guyss..ive got PM-ed from several of u...for helping me unbrick for a cost..thanks for your offer.

Fortunately..i unbricked it myself..with a pandora battery and a magic memory stick. Just googled and u get step by step instruction on how to do it. My PSP is back to normal now..with firmware 1.5..gonna upgrade it to latest now huuhu

Have a nice day~!

Here is the step by step link to unbrick ur PSP

hxxp://igizmore.blogspot.com/2007/08/make-pandora-unbricking-battery-magic.html

Any doubts..can feel free to beep me here..~

I did it with a spare battery and only 1 memory stick..after which you can convert it back to normal. But not advisable to RE-Do this process frequently with the pandora battery as it will damage the battery in time.

Good LuCk Guys

great J vansen!!

i always though we had to hardmod (open up and cut that 1st connector) the battery to make it a pandora. I'll keep that guide in mind incase i bricked my psp

yeah..shops shouldn't be charging for this.

forgive my ignorance, but does this work with psp slim also?

not too sure..but u can try heheh

1. of all i need to know wat model psp u r using is ta-082 or ta-079 or ta086
got many kinds of model


2. inside each psp has it's own key="windows registry"
to fix the problem u having is to fix the key. go search the website for brightness fix then only up grade the 3.71m33 cfw

3. as for slim psp can make pandora battery make sure is orignal battery

4. call me for more info......
!!!!one more thing need to remind that change key will brick easly and will not able to recover back !!!!DO TAKE NOTE!!!!

i have upgrade and unbrick for many ppl liao.. if u not trust no neeed to call me
my hp is 016-6406328(S'ban N.sembilan)

I was a psp owner but I never face this problem before.I was on 3.80 when I bought my psp.
Oh well the only think you can do now is
reboot it since you can't see any thing on the screen.
you enable your memory stick USB when you are at the reboot menu.
format memory stick.

1. If you downloaded and moved your CFW to your GAME,GAME380 or GAME180. If yes.delete it.
Try resetting your psp again.If it doesn't work. The best way is to format your memory stick.
If is still doesn't work. You have messed up your flash 0 is because you had probably displace in a flash 0
which you need to use your back up flash 0 which will restore back your psp at normal state.

2. Probably because you didn't wait for it to update to 3.71m33 and didn't read Alex's readme that is in the file that you downloaded.

3. If is black screen probably means your psp is bricked/dead.
Have to pandorize it. By doing that you can use your psp slim battery to make it pandora and buy a 3rd party battery as for a normal battery.
You can google it. If you're curious why PSP SLIM can be pandorize.
If you don't want to take risk.Then get someone expert to help you pandorize e.g psp repair
in KL costs around 20~30 I guess..try to bargain
mine is for free =D
try to make more friendsin LYN. It helps=D


next time you had better download and update it in your pc then only move it to your game folder that is located in your PSP MMS>>PSP>>GAME

updating wirelessly in your PSP cause troublesome and kinda slow.

good luck

May all your questions and doubts are answered.

why not? The TS are having problems with his psp.
if you don't unbrick something then how can something be solve?Unless you keep buying a new psp ?
These are the only ways to brick
and settling in google will only bring you to the same way to solve it.

btw is legal and is also the only way to recover your psp.
a guy name ekai under garage sales is repairing,unbricking and modding psp/xbox360/ps2/ps3/nintendo
and many other shop threads like gamers solution,sce,raveglove are also provide unbricking services.

cheers

Is better guide in person.how ever i not presume that i am a "god" that weileongz mention.

they r many step to unbrick is how ever u all need to go look for the infomation in the web to do so,some how many ppl is scare to do so because of experiance,i have once brick my psp "ta-082(phat psp)" then i take to a shop for hardware mod cost me about RM 300.00 ,after that i try to do more research on how to unbrick it..

i have no bad intention to all of u, just need to share my experiance to anothers that all....

same thing happened to mine.
i updated to 5.00 m33-3 ,

everything was fine, i could play the lastest NFS: undercover.

then suddenly, PSP hang. once i reboot, there's nothing on the screen. Green light keeps flashing, and also the MSPD orange light keeps flashing. no sound no image.

i brought it to the shop, they tried with pandora bettery, cannot open either...............

if ur psp is semibrick then maybe u can try the Hellcats Recovery Flasher, it doesnt require pandora and it runs from the recovery menu
