PSP Unbrick?

[realg123]

Hello everyone.

I just purchased a psp 2000 for $5 came with adapater.

I think its bricked. It turns on there is a green light but the screen stays black. Does that mean its bricked? If so what Do I need to unbrick it? Is there a tutorial?
I have a pandora's battery what else do I need?

Thanks in advance!

If you have the pandora's battery then you just need to make a Magic memory Stick

follow the video.

Make sure you use the NEWER PSP Grader v8

Thanks zzk

Tell me if this is right.
1) make the magic memory stick
2) instert it into the psp
3) take out the battery
4) insert pandora battery while the up button on the d pad
is that correct? if it is which option would i select?
thanks!

Yeah, that's right "if using my files"  if you use just the program it's self with making the magic memorystick you may need to hold L or R  "not up"


you can pick the option for installing M33 or Just the FW  Both will Unbrick the PSP, It's all in if you want CFW on the PSP or not.

having a problem
they sticker says its psp 2001
when the battery is inserted it does not turn green
i can not charge it
i tried everything i cant get into service mode
i think it may be a psp 3000
either that or its the pandora battery not working ( i used it before on two psps and it worked)
how can i tell for sure its a psp 3000? there is no sticker in the back where the battery goes any help would be great!

If the pandoera's battery is working on other PSP's then it's one or two things.

1. it's not a software problem and the PSP is not bricked just broking, Try opening the psp and checking wires etc etc (If the Screen is broken it can stop the PSP from turning on.

2. it's a TA-088v3 motherboard and can't be Unbricked
