if there is no display on the screen but the power light is on then i sorry to say that it is probaly bricked, meaning the psp is completly busted and is about as useful as a brick. you must never switch off your psp during an upgrade or downgrade.

PSP FW 1.50 with dark alex's custom firmware!

your psp is bricked. there is no getting it back unless u install a mod chip (financially retarded), or buy a new motherboard and replace the one in it.

@barnesy
yeah the custom firmware has to be flashed prior to the bricking

Well it's sony. They created it so there is probably some secret method of fixing them. If there wasn't they would so much money on fixing warranted psp's. if you're talking about for sale, no they don.t

flashing the psp, means replacing or modifing files strored on the psp's flash memory(etc the firmware). when you were upgrading your psp you were flashing your psp with the new firmware, get it?

@hexitnow
maybe sony just uses some hardware to reflash the bricked psp, like UP
