PSP Won't turn on...

[Demrok]

Last night I was playing Monster Hunter and the battery went dead, I quickly grabbed the chrager and plugged everything in, it fired back up and I continued to play monster hunter with the AC adapter in it. when I was done I shut the PSP off and let it sit and charge.

then when I was at work today listening to my PSP (MP3's) while I was cutting grass (like I've been doing for the past 3 weeks) my PSP shut off and wouldn't turn back on.. now when I flick the switch the power light turns green for a half a second and does nothing.. even with the AC adapter plugged in it doesn't even turn on.. PSP was working fine all last night and all morning today at work. I was just sitting there cutting grass and I heard the sound the PSP makes when it runs out of juice.. but my battery was reading 3 ticks when I took it off charge this morning and at that should last me the entire day at work..

I've tried inserting the battery back in at diff angles and now I am just letting the PSP sit for a few days to see if that helps, Battery out of the PSP and the AC unplugged.. I really don't get it =( anyone have any ideas or been through this before?? Let me know
thanks everyone

[kayhan 17#]

bricked... it seems that it is bricked but you tried it also without the MEMORY STICK? and without battery just the AC adaptor

[vatovey]

Hi Demrok,

From reading your post, I have a similar problem.

Here are the symtoms, with battery inserted the PSP displays an amber 'power' light, upon trying to turn the psp on, the green light flickers for a fraction of a second - nothing comes on screen.

With the battery and ac adapter, exactly the same as above.

With just ac adapter connected - all seems to work ok, get amber power light when off, but upon switching the psp on, light turns to green.

Whether you have a similar problem, I am not sure, but to me it seems like there's a problem with the psp battery circuit, where its not able to power the psp, and able to charge properly.

Does anyone have circuit diagrams, or knowledge of how the psp battery/charging circuit works ?

I have just bought a brand new battery, and it does exactly the same :(

[re4ryu]

ok does your psp turn on at all firstly? if it just turns on the green light for a bit then shuts off, its bricked. try watching this video to if its the same thing happening with you. oh and also, demrok has aleady got an exchange for his psp, so he downt have to discuss it anymore.

[vatovey]

Hi re4ryu,

Cheers for the link, with the AC adapter plugged in (with no battery) the PSP functions normally, no shutting off etc.., with the battery connected the PSP won't even turn on, I just get the power light turn from amber to green for fraction of a second, am hoping someone knows about the battery part of the psp.

Vaughn.

[re4ryu]

hey vatovey,

oh i see the problem now! sorry i didnt understand before! ok well i looked around on a couple of sites and found some info.

1) try leaving the battery out for a day or two.
2)make sure the connections for the battery to the psp are not dirty. if they are, clean them up!
3) if it comes worse to worse, you might need an expert to open it up, there might be a connection fault there.

forst off try 1 and 2. if they dont work, find someone to open up the psp. im sorry, im not sure of any of the insides of a psp, but try asking somebody who knows about it on the forums, im sure theyll help!

ok then, hope this helped!

re4ryu

[kayhan 17#]

try up and downgrading or set the system settings to default!

[vatovey]

hey guys,

cheers for the posts..

ok, I to thought it may have been a faulty battery, so I bought a new longer life battery on eBay, unfortunately.. its the same symtoms with the new one.

I have taken the PSP apart, and have it apart in front of me now :) , although since my last post, I have noticed even with the AC adapter, the unit does switch itself off - but only at bootup, usually within' 2/3 seconds (when still on the sony boot screen), after it gets past this, seems to function ok.

The firmware is on 2.7, can I downgrade this firmware ? (sorry for the newbie question).

Vaughn

[kayhan 17#]

nope u just can update to 2.71!
hmm try to get the settings to default at the System options! if it works ok if n ot update t o 2.71 if it also doenst work send it to sony because u dont have anything to loose ;D (if u had 1.50 it would be a different thing)

[Doc12]

I am haven the same problem but mines is a 2.5 and it works fine when it is plugged in.I have not tooken it apart yet tho.

[My Foot]

Okay... I'm having sort of the same problem... I've tried playing it with the battery out, and the PSP connected to the AC thingie, I've taken out the battery, but it keeps on giving me the Green/Orange light... I'm a complete
n00b, so I don't know how to take my PSP apart, and stuff... Could somebody give me some advice ASAP, cause I'm going on a trip vary soon...

Thanx, a bunch. :o

[silentfear]

its not a brick you can only brick a psp from writing to the flash memory like (updating or x-flash something like that)dont let it scare you away though it only gets brick when i turns off while updating

[My Foot]

I did nothing to make it a brick. I've only updated it when it gave me the option, and I've never down dated it either. I dunno what to do... Maybe it's just I need a new battery... Or get it repaired. Or maybe I need to get a new one... :(

[Overkill1010]

Perhaps its not the battery but some part inside the PSP which uses the battery(i.e that connects battery to the mainboard or whatever) is spoilt..

[squanchy]

was reading this post dont know if this will help. I was looking earlier and i ran across a post on another forum talking about a psp battery fuse.
Couple guys were saying that is helped them fix theirs. Again i dont know if this is your problem. If your PSP is chargin normally then im betting its not them problem, but it might be worth a PSP Batter Fuse Google to see if it is.
Could easily fix a frustrated person. Later Guys Good Luck!

Ohh yah i completely agree with the guy who said its not bricked. If you werent messing with the boot procedures , then there is a very slight chance that you bricked your PSP. ALWAYS Fixable :)
Peace!

[sparksalot]

I have exactley the same problem, but what was even weirder for me was that I was running devhook when this happened :|, so maybe theres some sort of new virus going around?
But instead of my power lgiht coming on for a half second, it stays on for like 20 then switches itself off, but theres no disc or screen activity :mad:
I think I remember reading somewhere that Sony wouldn't fix it? Probably because they are assuming you need kernal moder access i.e. they will say "you should always stay up to date with firmware to keep up with security blah blah"

Try these suggestion.
Try a hard-boot (Hold the Power button up for 10 Sec.)
Try to take out the battery and let it out for let me say 5 Min.
Connect the AC WITHOUTH the battery and try to power on.

If this does NOT help then either your psp is bricked ore you should send it back to Sony sorry. :)

[risawis]

tried downgrading from 2.71 to 1.5.and its bricked .and nothin worked .
is there some one who is an expert.Wot i understand is that a mod chip is the only option.
But,the modchip connections required asre just the usb and some wires.if some could make a UP (say) emulator .connect to psp with some wires and usb .it might revive the dead psp again .

[shortboy]

It's the battery that's jacking up...you can't brick a PSP by it just shutting off. Someone explained it already but bricks only happen when you mess with flashing.

Anyways. A similar situation happened with my laptop. With battery and AC in, it wouldn't turn on. I took the battery out and just turned it on with the AC and worked fine. Left the battery out for a while, put it back in, and now it's working again.

So final answer...leave your battery out for a while.

we have the same problem. anyone who already solved the problem?

[mame-man]

we have the same problem. anyone who already solved the problem?

I have 10 boards with this same problem, most of them for what looked liked instances where psp's were dropped (may well be the same as failed upgrades).

I am going to see if they are restorable by reflashing with a UP chip. but without trying this, I can say from experience thus far that this symptom of solid green light for 20 seconds or more then turning off or staying on until it's turned off is terminal. :(

[timpanista]

but the thing is i never dropped my psp and i never had a failed downgrade coz my psp is a 1.5 fw. i'm using the dual boot 1.5/2.71 devhook. i was just playing some games when i turn off my psp. after a while i decided to play again and voila!!!!! it ain't turning on!!!:mad: it's already 1 week since this psp last turned on. until now no sign of wanting to go back to life.:mad: :mad: :mad:

[lMatmanl]

Ok guys, this problem maybe be a lot easier to solve than everyone seems to think. One of my PSPs is running 2.82 with no mods, or upgrades/downgrades etc.

I had a problem with my backlight not working, due to the onboard fuse being blown. After I'd worked on it, and tried booting it up, I got the green light flash on for a second then straight back off. I tried all the take the battery out, put the AC in etc, but nothing worked. I eventually took the PSP apart again, and couldn't find any probs, apart from my antenna ariel was slightly frayed and there was a little bare wire showing. I removed the antenna wire, rechecked everything and made sure all the components were seated properly and secured as they should be. I then put the unit back together and its worked fine since.

I've come to the conclusion that, the problem was caused either by the dodgy antenna wire shorting on something (although I'm not an expert, so please correct me if this is wrong), or the components were simply not assembled properly, and maybe something wasn't touching or connecting as it should be. Either way, my PSP WAS NOT bricked! :D

[mame-man]

good to hear you got it going again, it's nice when you can find a simple one like that. now lets just hope your antenna wire possibly grounding didn't do any other damage :)

[celyst]

Firstly I don't think you can brick your PSP due to battery problems, unless you were writing something to flash at the point when the battery power was cut.

Secondly, about the black screen with Devhook, it might be a problem with corrupted Devhook settings. Try reinstalling Devhook.

if the problem is caused by a corrupted devhook, how come when i remove the MS still nothing happens?

[celyst]

if the problem is caused by a corrupted devhook, how come when i remove the MS still nothing happens?

Maybe because this time there's no file to load, so it gets stuck there as well? Can't remember about Devhook already, it's quite old news already :).

[Rogue_Zero]

i had this exact problem i let the battery completely drain but it worked and then the next morning it wouldn't turn on so when i got home from school it still wouldn't so i took the faceplate off and it worked LOL!!

[Brad1150]

I found this post after a google search. My PSP won't turn on also. But it doesn't flash any lights or do anything. Nothing has ever been done to it to make it be bricked, no downgrading, shutting off while updating, nothing. I have taken it apart after it quit working to check connections. Everything was good, no scrathes/burn marks on mainboard. I am letting it sit without battery for a couple days and then I will try again.

[mypspwontwork]

my friend was updating my psp and he took the game out un aware that that would screw up the update now when i turn my psp on the green light comes on for a few second then turns off with no display at all. i have tried startign it with no battery but plugged into charge and with no memory card what can i do please help me!! :(

[Brad1150]

OK, I bought a charger for my psp. When I plug it in the amber led turns on. But when I try to turn it on, it does nothing btu display an amber led. When I take out the battery and try it, I get nothing, no led at all, nothing on screen. I may take it apart again and see if something is unplugged because teh led turns off if I move the psp while charging.

[K-mitch]

Alright people, I'm betting this problem has been brought up and fixed before, but the searches i did didn't bring up what i was looking for. Alright so i downloaded a PSP update, and installed it of course. I hadn't updated it in a bit and this one let me turn on flash player...so i did, but when i went to go on a wesbite...the psp turned off. i tried to turn it on and the green light flickered once, then went off. I plugged the adaptor in but nothing happens except occasionally the amber light goes off for a second when i try to turn it on. without the battery it does the same thing. I'd be really grateful for any help or advice anyone can give me. thanks in advance

[neo the one]

Greetings.

MY PSP (Phat) stopped charging the battery a few weeks ago. When I plugged it in it worked. Last night (plugged in to the ac) it stopped turning on when plugged in after I pressed the on/off switch. The amber light does turn on when I plug it. This is not a battery issue because I tried a friend’s battery that works on his PSP. No amber light turns on with a battery. Only with the ac will have that effect. Please advise what the problem might be and a solution. Thanks

[Gabemancool]

my psp wont work know i have had since last christmas heres the problem i hit the on button and the green button flicks on then off fast somebody help me please i really need help bad somebody please

[footballbasket]

yo 1 question when it turn off you said it sounded like it did without any juice did it make a popping noise while it turn off byitself and before that would it freeze for a cou ple of seconds then turn off and make a popping noise
????????? answer plz

[river95]

Hi everyone my PSP won't turn on after it drains all the battery power when listening to internet radio. it will charge the battery, but wont turn on, using pandora battery it will flash the green light then off, when using magic stick + pandora then pressing left button it will go to menu for upgrading to custom firmware, then it can be upgrade, after doing the upgrade, it still won't turn on using normal battery. even the using pandora jig kick start. it only turn on when pressing left button. please help what is the solution to this problem? thank you

[pegaxs]

OMG! will everyone who does not know about these issues stop saying.. "it's bricked!" They are not. They have an issue with power from the battery to the main board. I am working on one as we speak.

My problem seems a bit different... If i boot it up with the AC plug in and battery in, i get nothing. Just the orange charge light. If i take the AC charger out, and turn it on, the green light will flicker and turn off straight away. If i remove the battery and put it on AC only without the battery it will fire up after a few hits on the switch. I can boot into XMB and use it as per normal. Its running firmware 2.70 (hence its not bricked!)

Now first thing i thought was... Oh its just another fuse... so i took it out and bridged the fuse connector... bolted it all back together and... damn, still doing the same thing. so i checked my soldering job. perfect, but to save face, i unsoldered it and did it again, tested it before replacing the covers and found no difference. Even though the bridging tests perfect... the PSP still wont start up.. only gets the flicker if on battery...

This appears to be a power problem from the main board or somewhere else were it seems to be drawing too much power or isnt getting enough on start up (hence the reason the fuse was blown...)

Any ideas on where to start looking would be good..

Dont bother with posting.... "its bricked!" as i can prove that its not ;)

Enjoy

[tunstall_bloke]

have a look at this about fuses on the psp

hey
raging noob here
but mine simply won't even start
its got a perfect battery, just got it
the events leading up to it were a series of crashes, even with full battery(i check regularly*
and now it won't turn on, no start up screen, just the little green on light

[keefee33]

i was updating my psp and i took out the memory stick while it was updating. now the power light turns on but no display screen and then turns off. how do i fix it?

[MaxMouseDLL]

i was updating my psp and i took out the memory stick while it was updating. now the power light turns on but no display screen and then turns off. how do i fix it?

A pandora battery and the latest DC...

the question is... WHY THE HELL did you remove the memory stick while updating? what was going through your mind when you did that...?!!

If ever the advice 'Microwave it' was needed it is now. Dear God, it even warns you not to remove the MS while it is updating.

You have a bricky brick, There has to be one although lesson should be learned now.

Exactly like MaxmouseDll states - 'Pandora and DCX required'

[pegaxs]

Pegaxs

You are on the right track.. the same thing happened to mine..

There are more fuses than the ones listed on Llama's site.

In my case it was the one on the attachment..

Verify first for continuity before soldering over it.

Must be a different motherboard to mine. this one i just swapped out for another anyway. wasnt worth the hassle. that fuse you are talking about does not exist on this board and some of the other resisters and the like are in different directions. i think this is a TA-79 board. what board was that photo taken from ? still looking for fuses... maybe i will find another on this board some where

[goebrak]

i have the same problem...
i was listening 2 my mp3 this afternoon... then i turned my psp off...
when i got home, it won't turn on...
the power light blinks every time i press the power twice in a row...
i tried plugging it without the battery n with the battery....
i got the same effect....but the light turned orange..so i assume it's charging...
any ideas...
i know it's not a brick... since it's running fine for years... n i didn't do anything 2 it...

[Blarghblargh]

I'm pretty sure I got the same problem as the guy above me. I dropped my PSP while playing, it was pretty warm too. Now it doesn't turn on. The green light only shows up (and flickers for half a second) if there's no battery in and I'm charging it. If there's a battery in, the amber light shows up until I unplug the charger. The green light flickered with the battery inside when I first dropped it, but it has been months now, so the already nearly-empty battery must be empty and charging through the PSP doesn't seem to work on it. That give anyone any ideas? I opened it up and everything LOOKS fine. I'm not an expert, so uh....any suggestions, people? I'm pretty much open to anything about now. Thanks in advance.

PS
I'm thinking about soldering the little "TD" power fuse as described on that Llama site. Maybe that'll fix it. Should I try it?

[alistair craig]

hi plz help me my psp turns on but u only get a green light the screen is black thers no light i tryed puting a unbricker program on i use my brothers psp to do that it wont work ive tred chenging tha battery takeing the battery out an just put in the charger then take the memory sitck ut and turn it of then on is there anyone how noes how to fix it from ali :(

Great.... care to elaborate?

[PatrickBanh]

I was using Hellcats Recovery Flasher to downgrade my 5.00 m33-4 to 3.71 m33 but while it was trying to flash my psp to 3.71, it kept going buffering looking for something and couldn't find it. I just left it on while I went to do something else but my mom turned it off thinking I forgot to. I tried turning it on afterwards, it wouldn't work.. The green LED goes on but the screen does not turn on, so I am guessing there is no OS on my PSP to boot it. Any help would be appreciated, please go easy on me because I am new to the PSP CFW.

Sounds busted... can you still get into recovery menu by turning the PSP off completely (Hold power button up until it goes off) then turning it back on while holding the right shoulder trigger?

If you cannot, you'll need to get yourself a pandora battery and an MMS with DC7 or 8 installed. You will then need to regenerate your IDS (I'm assuming you don't have a working NAND dump of your PSP here), and re-install custom firmware.

This all sounds complicated but it really isn't... do some research.

[PatrickBanh]

Ya, I figured.. Well I guess there is no other way to get my PSP to work. I was hopping there was a way to do it without the Pandora battery to get my OS back on it. I appreciate the help though.

[Manc0374]

Blarghblargh dod you get yours working again, my psp is in the same state as you have discribed below. Happened just before Christmas, still no joy getting it going. Can you let me know if you managed to fix yours. Cheers

Just buy a new screen and fit it, see what happens... doesn't cost too much :)

[January39]

You will have to change the screen, i know as i have tested this very issue.

I thought it was s uspected brick but no, it was the screen.

Change the screen and will work, by the sounds of it you have already proved it.

[!!??]

Could anybody help me? I bought a broken PSP slim off a friend for a cheap price. The problem was the screen(it wasn't plugged in but cracked anyway). So I took it apart found out the screen was cracked, and after turning it on(while it was apart to check the screen) the psp shut off. Anyway I try it again thinking I might have blown a fuse and it worked fine. So anyway I put it back together turn it on to see if it is working, again, it turns on(you hear it start up and hear the xmb the backlight turns on) and then it turns off by itself after a minute. Then I turn it on again it starts up and then it shuts off again but after about 30seconds. Then again about 10seconds, then again 2seconds, then it would turn on but instantly shut off, and finally it wouldn't turn on again at all. Me not having much experience with playing PSP's just figured the battery(which is a new non oem one btw) ran out of power. So I try charging it with a new Ac adapter but no light comes on and it doesn't charge. I tried turning it on with the ac adapter without the battery in and the same. Now I have a PSP lcd that I want to install, but the PSP won't turn on. Should I just sell it on ebay, and buy another one with a broken LCD? or is it an easy fix?

Have you inspected the power board for damage? The ribbon which you cannot see under the LCD housing may also be loose.

If you have time, might be worth taking a look.

This could be a few things really, so it is a case of narrowing it down one by one.

Sounds like there is nothing wrong with the PSP itself, but the charging fuse may be blown (I believe the charging fuse is an SMT components, Iv'e soldered these onto boards before, you need nerves of steel).

MaxConsole user Uba_Noob has replaced the charging fuse before i believe... not too sure...

MaxConsole user Uba_Noob has replaced the charging fuse before i believe... not too sure...

Yeah you are probably right, trying to eliminate the obvious first though :)

I have had a few psps do the same, and your right it looks damn tricky to pull off. I wonder if superglue is conductive?

superglue isn't conductive (once dry anyway) but you can buy conductive paint/glue, used it in college to paint around someone's desk and give them a shock when asked a question during a lecture... funny stuff.

Suppose you could always pick the SMT up with tweezers, glue it in position on the board then solder it, i find that when I'm soldering SMT's it would be easier if i had 3 arms (One for tweezers, one for soldering iron, one for solder), its pretty funny watching me as i resort to holding the solder in my mouth lol...

[!!??]

Have you inspected the power board for damage? The ribbon which you cannot see under the LCD housing may also be loose.

If you have time, might be worth taking a look.

This could be a few things really, so it is a case of narrowing it down one by one.

I ordered a new power circuit board just in case it was that and should get it in like a week or so. I checked the ribbons as well. I'm thinking it might be the power fuse was blown because the AC adapter also doesn't work and that seems to be separate from the circuit board for the power switch(which would be the only other problem I could think of). I might not do anything with that though since I have very little experience with soldering.

[!!??]

So is it that my battery ran out and I just can't charge it? If that is the case are there any external chargers I could buy and just use that to charge my battery?

[MaxMouseDLL]

So is it that my battery ran out and I just can't charge it? If that is the case are there any external chargers I could buy and just use that to charge my battery?

can't you just charge your battery up in someone else's psp? i don't believe there are any battery chargers specifically for the psp on the market, but I'm sure with a little research you might be able to hack one up yourself.

I remember reading a while ago that someone hacked a battery and replaced its cells with 3 AA batterys. that was quite a cool hack... pointless, but cool..

It may not be the fuse, your PSP may just be "fucked" as it where... but getting a confirmed 100% charged battery in the device with the screen unplugged would shed some light on this issue.

IE: fully charged battery with screen unplugged = working PSP
if that's the case, replace your charging fuse (or just bridge the fucker, solder a piece of wire right over the top of it, yes its horribly bad practace and dirty but it'll work, for testing you could even tape a wire to it!), you'll also need a new screen assembly.

[Kensushi]

Alright people, I'm betting this problem has been brought up and fixed before, but the searches i did didn't bring up what i was looking for. Alright so i downloaded a PSP update, and installed it of course. I hadn't updated it in a bit and this one let me turn on flash player...so i did, but when i went to go on a wesbite...the psp turned off. i tried to turn it on and the green light flickered once, then went off. I plugged the adaptor in but nothing happens except occasionally the amber light goes off for a second when i try to turn it on. without the battery it does the same thing. I'd be really grateful for any help or advice anyone can give me. thanks in advance

im having the same problem but mine turns on for like 5 seconds then turns off but before it was turning on then not turning off until the battery ran out

i need help. when i turn on my psp it flashes breifly then switches off???:s can anyone help.

Good lord.. I created this thread nearly 3 years ago when I had problems with my FIRST PSP.. :eek:
don't believe there are any battery chargers specifically for the psp on the market
There are some out ther actually Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Charger-for-Sony-PSP-Battery/dp/B000EH0S9M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1241026322&sr=8-3) has several

@blah300
Seriously.. think you coulda put ALL those in a single reply...

@Kensushi & ayoaki
Those sound like problems I had too and it was bricked or partially bricked
Pandora battery and MagicMemStick should help. If you've got one or if a friend has a CFW PSP use it to make what you need then give it a shot on your PSP. What have you got to lose? :)

Mine won't turn on eitherr...
Okay well, i put mine on the charger and the green light thing is on (on the charger thing) but the system shows no reaction to the charger at all.
It won't turn on.
Even if I hard boot it, take out the battery then put it back in, clean the charger and everything, take out the battery, but leave the charger in.
Doesn't work.
And I don't believe it's bricked since I barely used it.
It's the old version I guess?
I got it close to when it came out.

Hi

I recently bought a second hand PSP fat off ebay and as I was turning it on for the first time with the power adaptor plug in I saw the power led glow red for a second and then it died. Now when I just plug the adaptor in without even turning it on it makes a clicking sound coming from around the PSU socket area. I got it cheap because it's a bit beaten up but I believe it was working before I got it so I don't think I got scammed.
Anyway, I've googled all over and can't find anyone with the same problem, specifically the clicking sound. I think something must be fried and I was thinking of replacing the power PCB myself but I was wondering if anyone might know exactly what would cause this?

edit: well I think there's something really wrong with it as I decided to take out the power board and bridge the power fuse and it still makes a noise so it can't be either of those. I assumed what people call the power board is actually just for the switch and buttons. I know nothing about electronics really so how is it possible to fry the motherboard and not blow the fuse? This is turning into a complete waste of time. What the hell would make a rapid clicking sound if it was blown?

[Demrok]

I know nothing about electronics really
SO you decided to open your PSP and bridge a fuse?
Why?

If you bought it on Ebay did they SAY it was working?
Was it bought as an "As is" purchase?

IF it wasn't why didn't you send it back to them? If it Was an As is, then they probably sold it BECAUSE of what it is doing and passed the burden onto you.

the motherboard could have bricked, or it could have died completely it can fry a thousand different ways.
As for the clicking sound it could be a short somewhere..
does it make the sound when the battery is in the PSP as well as out?

It was described as working and it did light up once but died quickly. I think there might be something wrong with my charger. A weird thing that happens is when I have it open with ac attached and the battery in and I touch a piece of metal against the lcd brace (I know thats really bad but I discovered it by accident) it starts to charge as normal but if I unplug it then plug it back in it doesn't work. I don't think this fried anything because it starts and plays umds as normal. So I don't know if it needs a jump start for some reason or its something residual causing the light to come on and it's not actually charging.

edit: ok I think it is charging because I just turned it on for a second and it started but shut off immediately because I had unplugged it after five mins.

edit 2: did a bit more testing and I think it's the adaptor because I used a shell of a dead psp to as a guinea pig to reproduce the shock I got before with the adaptor connected. Once I got it to spark I transferred the dc to the working psp and it charges. Sounds bizarre I know so i'll buy a new adaptor to see thats it.

edit 3: it's when I short the power line just as it connects to the motherboard that makes the charger work. I don't advise doing this ever of course.

there doesn't need to be any files on the memory stick, when you format the stick via the PSP, the PSP creates the directory structure for you.

so i never post and what not because i usually find what i'm looking for, but i have a similar problem. i believe it might be a hardware issue. the psp i have here turns on and then turns off randomly, but very quickly. yes i have tried a different battery, tried with a/c cable + battery, a/c without battery. thought it might have been semi bricked so i used pandora and rainsmms, i got it to downgrade, but the problem persists. even during the first few tries of pandora it would turn itself off. then i noticed that if i left it flat on the table it would stay on long enough to install 5.00 m33-4. i just want to know what the problem actually is, and if possible a fix.

I did the same thing as he did. I pluged the PSP on my computer without the memory stick and deleted the partition with 40mb of system files.

Now the PSP does not turn on at all, the maximum i can get is a green light for a few seconds.

I already tried several tutorials trying to fix it, and still no success. (With pandora battery and etc..)

Does anyone have any idea on how it can be fixed? I would appreciate,

rains ultra MMS maker.
it installs through windows onto your memstack
after using rains put the memstick into the psp and slip a pandora in while holding the L shoulder button.
flash 5.00m33 in
if it m33 doesnt work, you may have to regenerate your IDStorage keys
which can be done on same menu as the 5.00m33 flasher (DC8)
