Ok here goes: I noticed that my Select button was not working so I wet some bounty tissue paper and push in a drop into the button and it began to work for a minute or two until it went haywire. It's like it was being pressed repeatedly and apparently the water spead to the Start button. I turned off my PSP and the day after I turned it on and all the buttons on that row were being pressed repeatedly without my doing so. I looked up some help on the forums and decided to take apart the psp, see what I find. I couldn't get the top black screw behind the battery out (it was stripped) so after two hours I decided eff it, and I ripped off the faceplate (Causing no harm to the PSP except that the screw broke some plastic off, no problem, the PSP was still able to power on. The day after that, I decided to see how my PSP was doing but it wouldnt turn on. FYI, I put everything back in place and the only thing I did not was replace the stripped screw cause it ripped off some plastic. Maybe the power circuit was affected by the PCB Bar going haywire (row of buttons with Home/Select/Vol + -/etc) or maybe that one small drop of water spread to the power circuit. Any help would be great. By the way, My battery and memory stick is being configured to Pandora's Battery at another person's home and is not with me, So I have to use the charger to power my PSP. I know that the water idea was stupid but believe it or not, it has helped in past instances and this time was used as a last resort.

Really doesn't sound like a Pandora battery is going to revive it...

Any number of things could have gone wrong (Especially since you took it apart), but, one thing to say, if one drop of water messed it up i'm really shocked:

My Clix (MP4 player) went in the wash by accident (2 hour cycle) and it survived. I let it dry out for a day, low and behold it turned on! All the data was there and everything :)
