flash is located on a portion of the psp mobo in a memory chip. Flash is usally divided into 2 user parts accessed through custom firmware. Flash0 (which contains the actual firmware itself) and flash1 (main used for system settings). if flash0 gets corrupted it will cause this system to "brick" or not work. custom firmware allows you to sometimes recover a brick (when it is able to be recovered it is called a semi-brick). then you can recover your firmware and keep on truckin.

hope that helps some
