You have a brick psp. to fix it, you'll need Pandora's magic stick to reflashing your psp under servis mode.. see here to help you get started.

Hope this be of some help. Pls post back should you need additional information.

- P.U.M.S (pandora's ultimate magic stick) is homebrew apps, or universal PSP Unbricker/Downgrader/Upgrader. it's allow you to boot your psp under servis mode, reseting your setting, key cleaner, system corrupted on your psp firmware. you can makes its with another psp with CFw installed. see here (my-blog) to help you get started.

the green light comes on for a couple seconds then shuts off, i took out the umd & the memory stick, tried powering up with the charger, pulled the power button for at least 7 seconds to see if it'll power up again but to no avail, the screen's still black & it was working fine awhile ago, is it "bricked"??

Comment by namaskah, posted on Sep 04, 2008

My PSP bricked after "key" changing. I do the software - key cleaner

Now, my PSP can't boot. nothing in screen, black always. but the power green light able to on.

Is there any solution? Fix by own (DIY)
Thank you.
