Hi i tried usin my psp for the first time in about a month and a half and it isnt switching on or charging and i cant send it back to sony coz it has got 3.10 oe-a firmware if anyone can help me with this problem you would officially be a legend lol

thanx

umm your psp is semi-bricked. you still can recovery to 1.50 or get the flash files for 3.10 oe-a. you can only recovery on custom firmware.

Check whether you have the wifi slider is "on", "off" it and charge your PSP again.

Try running recovery mode. when you try to turn it on is it just a blank screen with the power icon green or orange?

he said that it wont charge so it cant be bricked can it?

you can send it to sony but they will most probably update it to fw 3.40

thanx for the replies guys i cant get into recovery which sux lol and the wi-fi's switched off also there is no signs of life at all (screen dosent come on and the mem stick and power light both dont come on) ahh well looks like sonys gotta help me out on this one lol if they update the firmware to the latest is there any chance i can downgrade from that firmware??? coz i do love my ol homebrew lol also coz my psp is japanese and i live in england will they still take it back?

do you know anyone with a psp? try and test their battery and see if it still doesnt turn on. it sounds like its just not getting any power.

ive got 2 different batteries ive got the official psp one that came with it and a datel x2 battery and neither are working

I think it's more of a hardware issue than firmware. Maybe the thing that regulates power in the psp isn't working or is burned out.

could be im gonna use a voltmeter on the charger just in case thats the reason its usually the stupidest things that cause the problems lol if it isnt then im gonna have to phone sony i guess

just keep trying dude its gotta come around sooner or later. right?

hopefully im gonna give it another couple days trying a few things and if nothing comes of it i'll go to sony

but if its been a month both batteries should be dead. and if the plug isnt charging it that may be why. thats why i asked if you knew someone else to see if its the psp or a power issue.

Yeah, he's correct, you need to test the batteries first and if it works, it should be either your baterry or your charger that giving you the problem.

boot recovery then fiddle with your settings not too much though ask what to change first , i had that same problem w/ 3.4 oe

way to bring back a thread and not read it so you suggest something that he already said he cant do.

Lol, btw, next time go to 3.03OE-C

Don't give Sony your PSP either, they will update

My PSP Fully briked last night.
I had 3.40 OEA.

This moring I phoned Sony, told them my PSP wasn't working and they're sending me a new one on friday.

The firmware will probabaly be 3.40 or 3.50 so I'll most likely have to buy a PSP from e-bay to get homebrew back.

On friday I'll let you all know what firmware it comes with.


Heres the number to phone Sony, its a fast way to turn a brick into a PSP

Sony (UK & Northern Ireland) Tel: 08705 99 88 77

Remember when you phone Sony, never mention that you had custom firmware and dont say it bricked, just say it crashed during a firmware update and it wont turn on.

I hope this helps?

Damn, you should have just returned it and bought a new one!
You could have easily got a low FW version off Ebay!

Dont they check before they replace the psp?



test it with one of your friends battery and charger. Or go to sony with it.
