So I've found on ebay a refurbished PSP 2001 slim for only 75 bucks and ordered it. When I've got it and checked that it was working fine, I've ordered a pandora battey from dealextreme. Slim, 3.5v 1200mAh.
So, I went into and tried to follow many tutorials but I can't get this pandora to work. No matter what I try, the results are all the same, memory card on, pandora on, psp power led goes green, black screen, I can press any buttons, nothing happens.
I've tried NewbieInstaller, all 4 options, PSP Grader, and also manually, same results.
Also tried putting the battery while holding the L trigger button, but it's all the same ... green light on, black screen, I can press any buttons and nothing happens.
What am I missing?
I don't know what is the mainboard version, PSPIdent doesn't run ("corrupted data"), and I don't have the original box.
The stamp with the bar codes on the botom says:
AB025814194-PSP2001
Yep, just did the test and the result confirmed a TA-088v3 board.
So, one more question ... I've a good knowledge of electronics and I could try to replace its motherboard. Do you know what are the models that would fit on the PSP 2000 slim?
