Wondering if I should buy a semibrick slim psp for $110?
"You are bidding a Used Sony PSP Silver Ice Slim 2001 Semi-Bricked System and No Reserved. The power went on, battery is fine and the USB is worked. The PSP system crashed for unexpected that couldn't read UMD disc, game can't play or load and the WiFi isn't working anymore. The condition is mint and it has no scratch or damage. This come with the PSP Bricked System, a battery pack, a Black Pouch and a Wii Wrist Strap.If you can fix this then its all yours. I don't accept return, since I can't fix it myself."

Also on the pics he took it was 3.71 on Jan31 with no macaddress and then he updated to 3.80 and took a pic on feb 3

I was wondering if a pandora could fix the semi brick psp?

If i remember correcly, it`s because the nand is corrupt the macadress won`t show.. and that can`t be fixed by a pandora battery..

Sounds like Corrupt nand or IDstorage. That cannot be repaired easily, if it all.


PsP#1 : 2.01>3.71M33-4>3.80 M33-5
PsP#2 (Slim) : 3.80>3.90M33-2 All hail the UPMS Stck
If you need a UPMS Stick go here and then go here :-) *As recommended by January39

So you can not fix or recover using pandora. So the psp slim has damaged ID. How does this happen, bad update?

According to me, I think this guy used to have a custom firmware >_<
So, I think he was trying to change his MAC Address (Which is VERY DANGEROUS AND RISKY) and in the process, he got screwed >_<
So, he tried to update his PSP to an official firmware thinking he would regain his MAC address and failed >_<
So, he's selling his PSP ^_^

to be honest, when pandora first came out it was really worth it to buy bricked psps (fats) on ebay, since most if not all bricks were not related to idstorage

however, since apps and people started messing with idstore it has become debatable as to whether buying bricked psps from ebay is sensible as they can often be idstorage bricks which pandora alone will not fix

i would steer clear

at least that method restores some functionality to the psp, but depending on what keys you flash you may lose certain things like UMD drive...

it is a bit of a lottery so i would only advise that as a last resort (which it says it is!) therefore you wouldn't want to buy a psp knowing you had to try this (or at least i wouldn't)
