I accidentally bricked my psp when i was installing a firmware and i had a low battery. I was charging it while it was installing, but once the installation had finished, i pulled out the ac plug. But when it restarted it wasn't working.
I tried everything to fix it, and eventually entered the internet to find out how to fix it. I've found a lot of things, all suggesting that i had bricked my psp.
However, i realised that just because it was bricked didn't mean it was all screwed. I found some people talking about pandora's battery and whatnot, and instead of buying one and going through all the hassle of doing it myself, i thought to buy one online.
I found one on Amazon, but it wasn't a pandora's battery, but one that was similar (or so it said). The tool was basically a thing where you plugin the normal psp battery, click a button and it'd put it into service mode. You would then put it back into the psp and voila, your psp is in service mode.
Currently when i put the battery into service mode and plug it into the psp, the green button comes on and stays on for a loooong time. There's nothing on the screen. I thought it was some sort of mistake, however, emailing the makers told me that it was meant to do that, and that they couldn't tell me how to actually go about fixing it, possibly suggesting that it'd be illegal for them to tell me so.
So now i'm confused. What do i do know? I've read guides here saying "Press X/Y/L+R+Triangle" or whatever, and having tried all those, nothing except the green battery changes. After i press X/Y how long does the installation take?
And how to go about fixing it? If anyone knows =/ :(
