what did you do right before this happened? as it may be a brick.
also what firmware do you have.

hold your powerswitch up for 10seconds, till the green light goes off.
plug in your AC adapter, try to turn it back on. (this is known as a cold boot) the ac adapter isn't for anything except if ur battery is drained. see if that works.

3.40 doesn't have a recovery mode--no official Sony firmwares do.
@adi14
If nothing else works out, you may have to return your PSP to either the store you bought it from or back to Sony. Hopefully, they'll give you a replacement for no charge.

@adi14-did you try just plugging in your AC adaptor without the battery inserted? Sounds like you have a bad battery-I dont think you bricked though, because you were able to play your game after you updated the firmware,right?

Sounds like you you are having bad luck with psp's-
I know this may be a long shot, but did you try pressing the contrast/brightness button (the one next to the musical note button)? I know sometimes when you update or downgrade firmware, and you have one of those TA-082 motherboards that happens..
I want to say its not bricked because like you said, it required you to update the firmware in order to play the game-and you were playing the game afterwards...Its hard to say-could be hardware related-Your LCD screen might have fizzled out-Or maybe it did indeed brick after you updated the firmware....
Are you still under warranty? If so, you can send it back to Sony for a replacement....
