I have a 3.80 m33 version PSP. i inserted one of my 1 gb memor stick and a piece of it broke off. So i tried to get the loose piece that was stuck in the memory slot of the psp. Eventually i got the piece out but now my psp is acting weird. Without a memory stick in , the psp boots up fine, even boots to the recovery menu. But if i try to insert a memory card in the psp , it shuts off. Also if i tried to turn on the psp with a memory stick in, it wont boot up , not even the recovery menu comes up.
I suggest you take it to gamestop or eb games and ask. Thats some hardware problems right there. You can always beat around the bush, and just get a hdd battery..instead of using ms.
Is it a phat or slim. If it's a phat parts are readily available here . If you used a metal something to get the piece out while the battery was still inserted, you might have worsened it. First replace the link I gave you.
The battery on the motherboard don't last much more than a half hour, that's why when replacing the psp's battery, after a while you have to re-enter the date. Then you can start working on the PSP.

seems like the psp is not shutting off any more. But now the problem is , is that the card reader is not reading my memory sticks. Ive heard that its either the card reader in the psp has gone bad, or the memory stick is corrupted?
