Pandora's Battery wont unbrick my PSP... can anyone fix it?

I have (well, had) a PSP with 4.05 OFW as well as a bricked psp. I created a Pandora's Battery and MMS with Rains MMS creator and so it directly installs 4.01 M33 onto the PSP. It worked fine on my 4.05 PSP, but on my bricked psp, the green power light comes on for a second and then turns off, even with the MMS and pandora in. There is a blank screen so I can't access the menu, even when pressing down the L trigger.

Can anyone help me with the problem?

okay here are a couple of things you should try...

1. Recharge the pandora battery and a normal one
2. put a normal battery in and try going to the recovery menu (hold 'R')
3. then if it works download Hellcats recovery flasher and the official 5.00 PBP update from sony
4. run it and recover to 5.00m33

5. If you cant get to the recovery menu then download THIS and run it on a CFW PSP

um guys the bricked psp does not have custom firmware on it... it had OFW on it... so I can't reach the recovery menu because I didn't have one...

@wes: i have tried that and still nothing. still bricked. the menu shows on my other psps but on the bricked one, nothing.

green light on for a second then shuts off

I'm on the same boat as catinahat. I even tried Pandora Deluxe and same thing. When I hold the trigger, light turns on for a sec and then shuts down. Any solutions to this?
