Ok, I have a chance to get this PSP for free if I can fix it.
Its a challenge from my buddy.
I suspect however that the Memory Stick Reader is Dead.
I have a Tool battery I bought from DealExtreme.
I made a MMS using PSP Grader Lite V006 via my Vista Laptop and a Memory Stick Duo Adapter into the Media Ports on my LapTop.
Ok, trouble shooting.
With No Battery Installed and Plugged in Via AC adapter The green power light turns on, solid in color. Turns off after about 30 sec. UMD doesn't spin up. Memory Stick light doesn't flash.
With Offical Sony Battery in, no AC adapter, Turns off after 30 sec. UMD doesn't spin up. Memory Stick light doesn't flash.
Putting the Tool battery in, with no MMS inserted the PSP instantly turns on without me flipping the power switch. It doesn't turn off on its own. UMD doesn't spin up. Memory Stick light doesn't flash. Can't turn off with power switch.

Insert your mms stick, while you insert your tool battery make sure youre holding the L trigger.
Most people forget to mention about the L trigger to bring up the menu. Anyways, if that doesnt work...try using "total newbi installer" for the mms. I'm pretty sure it works on vista (but dont quote me).
I retried PSP Grader Lite V006 (Boy that was a pain in the ass, Torrenting on WiFi on my Laptop which is Vista really killed my bandwidth, then finding it. Then finding 401.pbp, then finding out that I never reinstalled the .NET framework and having to go to M$.com to get that. *Sigh*)
I got it to work, thanks! I would've probably dismissed using my XP tower upstairs if you didn't tell me to.
