Hi all, i have now flashed a few psp fat for family, however tonight i tried to flash a 2003 slim.
inserted mms, then pandora battery, the green light came on and the ms light flashed for a few seconds ,the backlight comes on but it then just sits there, i left it for approx 20 minutes but nothin happens.
Now the worrying bit, the psp wont boot up with normal battery, the green light comes on for 10 seconds then goes off,
Have i killed it? this is the first psp i have done for a friend and im worried that ive bricked it.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Alan

So, start from square one...take everything out, the battery and the mms, charger and umd. Now put the mms in and then put in the battery holding the left trigger. Also note if mms was made in vista, it's not going to work!

update guys, i made a new mms, inserted mms, holding up button and inserted pandora battery i get the screen to install
3.71 m33

install original 3.71
dump nand
restore and dump physicaly

i chose 3.71 m33

loading updater modules .....ok
formating flash0.... ok
formating flash1.... then it just sits there???

i am sure it was already at ofw 3.71 should i go for a lower cfw? or is it too late? have i got a brick?

thanks in advance guys

Hi, you have a corrupted flash 1 partition. You will need to Re-partition it using the nand tool (if it shows up on your DCx screen. Then install the fw again.

Good Luck
