Help with Broken PSP

bluestripe93

Hi,

I've got the first psp and a few months ago i installed a update on it, and the screen went black as if it was turned off,
so i left it alone till now and im going to try fix it,

but can someone tell me whats wrong with it? is it the screen or is it something inside

has anyone had this problem before?

pwd

try googling unbrick psp
I think stuff like this has happened a good few people, and is happens when something interrupts an update, usually loss of power.

you will need a pandora battery, with that it will allow you to boot into service mode and run a recovery otion. You can get a battery from dealxtreme for about a fiver, but be prepared for delivey to take up to 3-4 weeks.

It'll take no more than 5 minutes to fix your PSP using the Pandora Battery.

well 5 mins will get it fixed, would be more if you want it modded to the latest custom firmware though

could you fix it on saturday then,

its not got custom firmware or anything its just normal firmware from the sony website

but could it work with custom firmware after you fix it?

dont bother paying someone to do it for ya. Its simple to do.


There is a really good guide how to do it on http://www.pspiso.com . There is links on there too get whatever firmware you want. It doesnt take long to do. Dont pay extra for custom firmware either. Just install the custom firmware yourself. You will have your psp working tonight if ya do it yourself.

The only way he can fix it himself without a pandora is hard mod his battery to become one, then that leaves him with no regular battery.

Whatever you want to put on it, I can either put custom firmware or official firmware, up to you.


Edit:

Also i'd remove that link if i was you....
