[olijr]

the green light will turn on, but screen is black.. nothing, when I plug charger in, orange lite blinks then gone...while nothing is happening, I have to hold the power swith for @ least 12 sec. to turn off.

What firmware are you using?

[Safari Al]

If you're on a custom firmware and can access recovery, then your in luck. if not then your screwed

Try pressing brightness button... but otherwise BRICK!

thanks for the response to my prob. I updated to the 3.some thing upgrade then a week later...it died. no sound..by the way what is BRICK?, does that mean..just get another psp?

If your on an OE firmware your PSP will be fine, just try to start the PSP up while holding the R trigger, if you get a screen called recovery menu then you will be fine. If not then you need to buy a new PSP because that one is done, but yeah if you get a menu screen then your fine. Just look up how to recover your brick from the recovery menu and unbrick your PSP, good luck.
