So, I went to update to the 6.10 firmware, and at exactly 50%, it told me it couldn't read the memory card, and shut off. Now, when i try to turn it on, the green light comes on, but nothing happens.

I called tech support, and apparently, they're trying to pin it on me, saying the only way it's possible is if I neglected the PSP or memory card, and think I'm going to pay then 90 dollars to fix it.

I'd rather not have a PSP at all, than give anything to Sony.

So who wants a bricked PSP?

Why not just unbrick it.

There are tons of guides online. Just find one that corresponds to what model PSP you have--1000, 2000, or 3000.

You might need a pandora battery. They run about $10 to $30 and are specific to the PSP models--the batteries for the fat and slim are different.

Here's a battery for the slim.

After some googeling I found this: http://hackaday.com/2007/08/23/pandoras-...

But most sites Google gives me are German. Just search for +psp +unbrick and you'll find the articles and how-tos. :)

Ok, I found out my psp is Fully bricked, meaning I can't get into the recovery menu. The only way to fix it would be to make a pandora battery. And I live in an area with very few people, I don't know anyone with custom firmware, in fact, I barely know anyone with a PSP.

So, I'm going to have to buy a pandora battery and magic memory card off ebay -_-
