[ACID]

[Accordion]

[Malksta]

LOL

[Accordion]

[muffinman]

could be a joke accordian, but still

unlucky
and
laugh you are a frigging idiot

[ninja9393]

sorry dude i hoped u could play my game

[M!ckeY]

i did that with my first psp, but i was clueless at the time, but i replaced the motherboard so it was good for a while, until curiosity killed it again ;)

[pibs]

u can just get the modchip, get it profesionally instaled, it will probably run ya up 125$with instal included, but u get all the firmwares and other great features.Because if u get a new1 from the store it will have a new firmware.

Theres still hope if u cough up the cash

[M!ckeY]

yup, the modchip works, but you could also buy another psp on ebay;)

[BL4Z3D247]

dude tell where ever u got it from(if u still have the receipt) that it just stopped working and show them that it powers on and stuff show them u haven't dropped it(hopefully u haven't) and tell them u want a replacement, i mean u paid $200-250 so they should replace it...hopefully u got it from wal-mart lol they're suckers

or

get the UP modchip

[M!ckeY]

whoa, i'm seeing double...two identical posts :eek:

He probably lost the recipt ive lost mine recently pretty pissed of because i could of returned my psp to eb games for a brand new downgradable psp.

[BL4Z3D247]

sorry my bad it's my stupid computer :p i deleted it

[Video_freak]

Why the f*ck would you take out the battery in the middle of flashing your PSP?! That's completly stupid (sorry if I'm being harsh)! :eek:

[Kramer]

Some people dont know how the psp works so you should go easy on him.

[DefaultGen]

i was updateing to firmware 1.50 then i diddent want to so i took out the battery

Are you joking??? :confused: http://209.85.48.11/6243/172/emo/laughing.gif

[BL4Z3D247]

hey u learn from ur mistakes and sometimes other people's so hopefully he knows now not to pull out ur battery when flashing ur psp

[DefaultGen]

I KNOW that whether he was following a tutorial, reading directions from the updater, or listening to someone it said SOMEWHERE to not pull out the battery.

Doesn't the updater force you to have 100% battery AND be plugged into a power source?

[BL4Z3D247]

no just the adapter plugged in

[DefaultGen]

no just the adapter plugged in

I remember even with the adaptor plugged in it wouldn't let me update :(

[s1k0]

BRICKED sell it and get a new one

[Metroid_Fan]

My garrenty is still valid so sony will send me a new one tomorrow this will be my 3rd psp now.

[Accordion]

its alright then

(im on my fourth…)

[DPyro]

I swear to god, noobs shouldnt be allowed expensive stuff :(

[jas0nuk]

Lol Owned!

[Accordion]

too true

(my psp replacements were due to asthetic reasons)

[Metroid_Fan]

i'm only on my 3rd one because i was in spain and i was on the web and the acess point broke my wi-fi

[Accordion]

those access points are a violent menace…

[ptr.exe]

I rarely post on this board (tend to lurk mostly :p ). But I think this is well worth a reply.

This should be a reminder to everyone that when doing anything like this, read the instructions repeatedly and know what you are doing. I still can't believe someone would do that though... I think it's a joke.

[dejkirkby]

If it's a joke=that's pretty funny
If it's real=tool

[ryutoki]

This is hilarious. I can't believe any one could be so incredibly stupid. XD

Ah well, you got a new PSP for free, so it's not so bad. ;)

[Jpdeathblade]

I am a lurker too =P

I think that noobs should not get expencive things. At gamestop the guy should ask you 10 questions, if you fail he smacks you and two big guys throw you out of the store and beat you to death for being a noob. =P

[ICE]

man what a terrible idea. people are so brutal to their psp's. you have to be gentle guys.

[LilSwish722]

god dude...ur just...retarded no offense...but WHAT POSSESSED U TO DO THIS

[splodger15]

hopefully u got it from wal-mart lol they're suckers


lol

[bullhead]

I dont like it when people call young/new members "noobs" and "stupid" I find it rude and uncalled for and if I had my way, people like you would be strung up and subjected to perpetual tickeling.....You would laugh and laugh and eventuallay you would pee yourselves, but it wouldnt stop there, I would feed you aswell so when you have to take a dump, you will go in your trousers/jeans and you will be laughing at the same time, because id still have you being tickled!

Stop being mean to the "noobs" inexperienced members...

[jak66]

too true bullhead, all the 'noob' talk makes this place more like unfriendly forums (sure you can all think of at least one)
but still, when your updating it does say not to remove the battery, ac adapter and the UMD/memory stick (depending on what your updating with) so it really is a stupid mistake to make, and even if you didnt want 1.5 theres always the 1.5=>1.0 degrader

EDIT: Wow, this has been revived from like a month ago...whats up with that?

[Project.funky]

Dude you just got served LOL

[Rocksil]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

U SUK

how could you not want it and dont u know when the psp is using it flash memory you should keep ur psp charged

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[Project.funky]

[Rocksil]

rocksil wtf is your sig about :|:|:|
Project.funky wtf is your avater about :|:|:|
ah oh

[Malksta]

Sucks for you.

[Napalm-Death]

I'm not going to laugh, because not everyone is smart about technology(or even common sense stuff!), but this really is sad.

[splodger15]

but this really is sad


True

[Video_freak]

We should really have a warning or something on the forums. I didn't know we needed it, but apperantly we do. :(

[JD/]

omd this thread had me cracking up i cant believe it it must be a hoax he rejected the best firmware for a paper weight that is too funny hopefully he gets a new one and takes care of it this time.

[Vangar]

I've seen some idiots in real life with PSPs too.

- My friend wipes his screen with his sleeve (ouch)
- Someone looking at a 2nd hand psp scratched the screen with their finger nail (what were they testing, the durability of the screen with pressured fingernails?)

Idiocy.

[Rocksil]

i read somewhere that a guy punched the screen of his psp with his bear fist because he was losing and the screen broken and the glass got stuck in his hand so he had to be take to the ER

Idiocy.
Very True

[Vangar]

But the PSP screen is made of plastic?

[Rocksil]

he said he punched really hard i saw it on blogger

[Vangar]

Im not doubting the injury, just letting you know there's no glass on the PSP screen ;).

[Rocksil]

here the link http://thepspnation.com/index.php?/weblog/More/top_ten_stupidest_things_to_do_to_your_psp/

[Vangar]

Well he is lying then, because there is no glass in the screen, im serious. I took my PSP apart to clean the buttons and the protection screen is 100% plastic.

[Rocksil]

wat ever

[bullhead]

Its still possible to get plastic stuck in your hans. With perspex anyway...

[HAMMIEZ]

wtf would someone punch a psp screen that hard for?
