so, i have a 2.81 psp, and yes, i know about the 3.03 downgrader, but the thing is that my umd drive doesn't work. so i was thinking if i could trade my psp's motherboard with my brother's psp, and downgrade it with his working umd drive. is that possible?

Or you can just swap PSP's. What firmware does your Bro have

If you did swap Motherboards you will have the OE C and he will have the 2.81

That's a shame, then. You'll probably just have to wait for a GTA-less downgrader if the UMD drive doesn't work. How did it break anyway?

and the psp with the 2.81 will have a working umd drive, right?

it was like that when i bought it, but it's ok, cuz it only cost me $30 :D, and it even came with a 2gb memory card

Listen if you swap motherboards with your Bro this is how it works

He will have the motherboard with 2.81 firmware installed and the broken umd drive

and you will have the motherboard with OE C installed and the working umd drive

why would he have a broken umd drive if we only swapped motherboards?

because that's how it already is, one psp has 3.03 oe-c with working umd drive

and the other is 2.81 with a broken umd drive

They sell replacement UMD drives on Ebay. Just buy yourself a new one.
