It's called a brick. What PSP version do you have? Take off the battery and check what the sticker beneath it says, should be PSP 100x, PSP 200x or PSP 300x (x being a random number between 0 and 9, which is the region code).

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

OK, a US PSP 2000. With these it's hard to tell which mainboard version was built in (more or less a guess). What you can do is go to www.dealextreme.com and buy a Pandora Battery, they should be around 4 to 5 US$ delivered, but delivering can take some time (China-bound seller). Then google for a Magic Memory Stick Maker. Also there are some good tutorials on how to repair a brick with a pandora battery on youtube.
