During the Official upgrade that you ran it warns you not to turn off the PSP.
What happens when you cut the power off to the PSP while its writing the new firmware?
It cannot finish writing the firmware and thus will not boot.
You Bricked it, end of story...

yea i mean with anything if you pull out the power coard like a memory card (remeove it) while its saving a game you most likely corrupted you memory card or game save.

ive personally have done about 12 PSP unit downgrades and custom firmware loads. but they were all ta-86 and ta-79 and all that. i personally have a ta-82 and i guess i got lucky with it.
so i buy this PSP yesterday has a ta-82 on it i did all that i did to my own PSP before. i run the updater xyz it tells me process complete push x to restart PSP. gone, bricked. green light turns on stays on but it wont work at all. any sugestions?

Look once it's bricked it's bricked... If the PSP doesn't turn on after a downgrade or upgrade then it's most definitely bricked. Thus a bricked psp can't be recovered. Unless it was semi-bricked.

ta-082 are revised for firmware hacking and modchip.
u can always change the type of firmware hacks but it cost much more for the modchip. so modchip not possible yet but firmware is.

y'all might not trust it but last time i checked, there is a guy on ebay that charges way less than 90$ to unbrick a psp the only catch is that you have to send him ur psp...on the bright side of this situation he does have 95%+ positive feedback and 1000's of it

Yes the current modchip will not run on TA-082. Its doesn't unbrick your orignal firmware, it just brings your PSP back to life because of the second flash on board the modchip.

I say instead of paying them $90, you invest in a modchip and voila you can recover from any brick you ever have...i believe there was a new modchip that should be released april 16 called the devolution http://pspupdates.qj.net/PSP-Devolution-...pg/49/aid/88817 works on all current motherboards

Ok, well your PSP's definitly bricked, but there is a way to fix a bricked PSP! it does require you buy a cable, and i don't know a lot about this. Underneath the battery there is a label, underneath this label is a little hole with 3 pin holes that look like something can be plugged into them. These holes are a direct link to your flash0 and flash1 on your psp (the 'un-accessable' storage of your psp's firmware). Now apparantly you can buy a usb cable that go's from your pc to these pins so that you can access the flash 0 and flash 1 on your pc. Once you have this cable you can just copy a friends flash0 and flash1 files and copy them onto your PSP. Your PSP's firmware should appear identicle to your friends.
Problem solved.
PS - Apparently these cable's are illegal for some dumb ass reason, but i'm sure you could get hold of one.
