when you turn on your PSP, does the green power light come on, but the screen stays black, and nothing happens?
what did you last do before you diagnosed a brick?
if you had custom firmware, hold the RIGHT TRIGGER down and turn the power on while still holding down.this is recovery mode. if nothing happens except for the green light, sorry, but your bricked.
if the green light doesnt come on, then charge your battery. :)
if you were upgrading, and your turned off the PSP or took out the battery while it was still going, then sorry, but your bricked.
in short:
try recovery. doesnt work? bricked.
green light on? no sound or screen? bricked.
nothing at all happens? not even the green light? then praise the lord!! your battery just needs a charge.
sorry though if your bricked.
just let me know what happens when you do these tests.

I believe the term private messages can be interchangeable with e-mails. If you have an all-expansive PSP unbricker, why not share it with the rest of us?
@Reicko
I'm sure you've already read what lordofuo's had to say;however, if you haven't, just listen to him and you'll be set.
Don't give your e-mail to ltehov, he'll probably just give you a link to some on-line store where you have to send in your PSP and they, at best, will unbrick your PSP for a substantial amount of money. At worst, they'll take your PSP, salvage the parts and sell them on e-bay...then charge you a substantial amount.

XEnigmaX that is not true. Ofcourse I can share informations with you all and this metod of unbricking psp is absolutely free. I will put instructions immediately. I am sory for that message it was my mistake. I would erase it but I did not know how.
"I?have found some exciting news about an unbricker for the 1.5 psp bricked with the fameous app X-flash (which could brick ur psp) that was made 2 days ago. This info i received on a?english site of bjwil3. The source u will found below this post. U can also view a video of the whole process made by Skeeder.
On the video u will see written in french that it's possible to use any app on the bootup of a bricked psp... But on the tutorial of bjwil3's site there u will see that a psp with 1.5 fw bricked with x-flash is needed for the unbricker to work properly.
The idea of the process is too flash ur psp to a 2.0 firmware with the needed files that i will mention later on and after that u can easily downgrade again to a 1.5 firmware.
TUTORIAL:
NEEDED files/things before getting started:
- First Watch Video (at end of post)
- PSP must be fully charged + plugin ur charger so it wouldn't die on u in the process
- Clean your memory stick before starting Backup files and folders first b4 doin' this
- PSP with 1.5 fw bricked with x-flasher HERE
- The File 1.50.flash which u can get HERE
- Firmware 2.00?or 1.50?eboot which u can download HERE or HERE
- Pc to put the needed files on your psp (Multi-card reader/writer and/or printer needed).
PRACTICAL OPERATION:
1) REMEMBER put the charger in your PSP!!! Your battery "must" be full
2) Put the 1.50.flash file in the ROOT of your PSP's memory stick
3) Place the 2.00 or 1.50 firmware (EBOOT.PBP) in ur memory stick directory: PSP/GAME/UPDATE --> If there is no UPDATE directory than make one
4) Turn your psp on and PRESS ALL the following buttons down and KEEP them PRESSED: Triangle, Circle, Square, Cross, L , R AND MAKE repeaditly Circles with your D-pad(not the joystick) of the psp like in the video
5) You will now see a blue screen with options --> Choose the option with the Eboot sentence like in the video and press X (cross)
6) Now your psp will update to 2.00 or 1.50 firmware! -->After process u will have the 2.00 or 1.50?firmware on ur psp.
U can find?bjwil3 his site (source) HERE
And u can find the video HERE"
i don't think this thing works. what is this? it is like you're trying to reveal a secret character in a fighting game? I've tried this several times with my bricked PSP and it is not working. I have watched the video, I still can't get it how did he make it work. waahhh. help me with my bricked PSP
I think the above information would only work if you had 1.50 before you bricked. You could also try calling Sony and telling them it happened after you updated to 3.52, Dont tell them you tried to downgrade.
