But as with all of these, nothing is garunteed, adn YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO A NONBRICKED PSP

Hi, this might be a noobish questions, but I bought this PSP Battery for the Phat (to use for pandora) and its kinda cheap... like doesn't have the sony symbol or anything but it has 3000mAh so it lives longer than my real battery. Should I try to pandora that one, or my normal sony battery?

[Bobtentpeg]

Use the Sony battery you will most likely have better results

[anteopimp]

For the battery creator it says "The game could not be started. (8002014C)" What can I do to fix this? I'm using a PSP Phat, would it also work on a slim? (The PSPs FW are 3.90 m33-2)

[Mr.j19]

Can you help me i installed the pandora battery but when I put the battery in just the power light comes on
