I have a slim black psp and it was running 3.71 m33-2 then i decide to upgrade to 3.90 m33 while upgrading it got to verification on the 390.pbp and had an error then shut off. when i turn it on now it just goes to a black screen with the green light but then turns off shortly after.no lights flash either it just has a green light. i have a pandora and tried using universal unbricker the installation went fine but its still just a black screen when i turn it on. Please help me!!!!!!!!!

I remember it was some about the verification of the 390.PBP file you have to add in there i think.So is it fixable?

have you use pandoras before?

sorry again 0_<

i think you have already done this VVVVVVV

but you need a magic memory stick with all the files on it for the pandoras battery to do its magic 0_<

to make a magic memory stick go to the thread called GUIDE: Universal Unbricker V3 Using Official Firmware FAT/SLIM PSP. and that will guide you through making the magic mem stick

that should then work.

hope that all helps

i suggest trying to get hold of a phat battery and trying that it might be that your slim battery is having trouble becoming a pandoras battery

i can only guess i can see why it would though but try a phat battery and see if that works if you can get hold of a phat battery then there is the datel tool battery that you could try.

i would say buying a psp is the last resort unless u really want to 0_<

maybe i can see why it bricked though if it sayed it was checking the file and then found an error in it and shut down it should have gone to the xmb menu

if it is the nand files then yes i think you will have to buy a new psp but if its under warranty send it back to sony they give you a refurbished one if it is.

sorry i couldnt be of much help 0_<

Yep no emails allowed here - it's really more for your protection. Who needs more spam :) Post edited.

And Dr1ver was correct - you can't use someone else nand backup. They are unique to each psp.

Now checking the pm's you should get an email alert when someone sends you one. Or under the top tabs of the site click on private messages.

Here you go larryjoe - link.
When you hit the # of posts needed to be 'upped' in rank it takes like a day or two for the change.
