Argh. I guess I tried to do too much, too soon, and with too little information available.

I wanted to install TimeMachine so I could get the 1.50 kernel running to play an old homebrew game. The process seemed to work fine.

However, after a reboot, nothing. Screen is dead, power light is on, and there's no activity. It's bricked.

I tried holding R while booting up, and I can't even access the Recovery Menu anymore.

So, I've got my Pandora battery, pop it in, and I can see the screen powers on - but of course, on a Slim, there's no text or anything. I press X. After 10-15 seconds and a little bit of memstick flashing, the Slim powers off completely.

I've also tried inserting the Pandora battery, pressing Down twice, and then pressing X. (This is what I originally did when I installed my first custom firmware. I was using DA's universal unbricker.) But nothing happens now.

I've been using my jigkick memstick because people said it was OK to use after the whole Pandora business. I never deleted the Unbricker files from it incase I needed them again.

So why isn't it working?!

Please help. :(

(Sorry for the doublepost, but I don't seen an Edit button)

I just can't believe this happened. There were no errors. All the files are where they should be. I was on 3.90 M33 v2, which is what TimeMachine requires... I had all the files correctly placed to install 1.50 kernel with the 3.something additional files for Slim support... and it bricked?!

The only thing that seems to make any difference whatsoever is when I hold Square when booting with Pandora in. The memstick flashes for a loooong time, and then the PSP powers down. Then that's it, it still doesn't work.

I would really, really appreciate some quick help... if only to tell me what the Pandora menus look like. It's hard working blind, here.
