I bought a PSP 1004 with semi-brick on it. Tried all kinds of repairs, but none of them worked. Worked with Pandora set, Hellcat and ELF. I'm using original Sony memorycard and battery. I also got a second PSP 1004, which I used to make a pandora set. Tried making MMC using Rain's MMS-maker, but it failed (used a card reader and PSP-usb). It doesn't format my card and it doesn't run the program with a formatted card, so I used PSP Tool to make MMS-card.
1.50 -> corrupted icons on xmb, reads from memorycard and umd but programs freezes on PSP logo
3.71 -> Playstation logo and sound on start, but freezes before xmb
3.80 -> black screen
3.90 -> black screen
5.00 -> black screen
5.50 -> black screen
Tried with OFW and CFW -> same problems. Currently has DCv8 5.50GEN.
DCv-versions 5 to 8 doesn't work (black screen). Only older versions have worked, but not fully.
It goes to the recovery menu, but when I try to load anything, it freezes. I can upgrade/downgrade using pandora set and elf (only with elf and Pandora I can start programs). Currently if I try to do anything, everything ends up frozen.
So I really need help with this project. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I'll try my best to answer questions

Edit: Made MMS with PSP Pandora Deluxe. Now MMS contains ELF Menu, Time Machine, KeyCleaner (which doesn't start), Hellcat's Flasher and DCv3-4. Made fresh OFW 1.50 backup with flasher, but I can't flash/restore it, co's I'm running flasher through Pandora. It says "ERROR! Can not restore firmware 1.50 while running from Pandora!" and Hellcat's Flasher doesn't start from Recovery (PSP turns off after "loading..."). If only I could install that non-corrupted ofw 1.50 with Hellcat while on Pandora...

Edit: Ran the nandTool 0.40NEO and checked bad blocks. Result: bad block 0202 (page 6464) and 0560 (page 17920)

Edit: So I disassembled my PSP and in the motherboard there was marking TA-079. But why does it say on Pandora ELF menu that my PSP has a motherboard TA-081? Is there any difference between them?
