you can get a modchip for 60€ that fixes bricked ones..but you need to install yourself...might be worth a go.

Unless you have some really good soldering equipment and decent magnification that psp modchip is almost impossible to install.

Qwert, i would be interested to know your firmware, motherboard type and situation before teh brick, as i am interested in softmodding myself.

what firmware was it?
if it was any on dark alex's ones...
hold the L1 and R1 when you turn it on, that'll boot into rescue mode so you can install firmware 1.5 and so on to install a dark alex version again

Nevermind. Forced myself to do it this morning. It sucks that people like me that come across a non TA-82 or whatever MoBo with a 2.80 FW for €50 can do this succesfully, while others are not so lucky.:(

I feel for those who have bricked.

Yea its a shame when that happens to a psp. But they are the risks you take when you try to flash the firmware.

it was upgraded my by bro last year to 2.8[the idiot] from 2.00[version it was was when i got it,dec 05] and its not a T-082 motherboard

Ahh you probably dont have the recovery mode option then.

I bricked mine as well a while back and sent to a crowd in UK to fix it, basically they just reflash the motherboard. Cost me something like £60. Only problem I had with them is when I got my PSP back, my UMD laser is screwed. I'm not sure though whether its them who screwed it up. Let me know if you want their address.

Yeah [V3], the same thing is supposed to be wrong with my PSP only i have no UMD's to try it out. :P

I got my psp mobo off eBay for €75, it was a 1.5 EU version, now I'm running Dark_Alex's newest custom firmware and i can play ps1 games on it. I made a video on me playing:

I also got my friend a broken psp, all that was wrong on it was it had a cracked screen that's it and he had bricked his so we just switch the screens, easy...wrong, you have to be very careful with the tiny black-light wire and those little tabs/clips that break so easily!
