Need help downgrading

Ok so im not a noob, but im not an expert either.

I'm running OFW 3.80.
PSP-2001.
I bought this.

My Battery is a oficial sony 3.6v 1200 mAh.

I have 2 SanDisk memory sticks Pro Duo. They are magic gate.

I have tried downgrading and/or instaling CFW about 20 times.

Everytime I follow the instructions the screen just remains black.

My computer is also vista home basic,but thats not the problem.

I always run the memory stick programs in compatibility mode and adminitrator.

If anyone could help me I would forever be in your debt.

Thanks in advance.

did you put the proper files on your memory stick (a magic memory stick is different then magic gate)

Yes I did put the proper files.
I meant that the memory sticks say magic gate on them.

start from the beginning, I have windows vista too and abolutely rubbish you need a xp computer and then use Psp pandora deluxe and follow the guide inside it,

do you even have a pandora battery if you dont this could be the answer to your problems

You shouldnt need a service battery to downgrade or upgrade with cfw.(though it makes things easier) Where did you get your downgrade files? Have you put cfw on a psp before?

ahah you have sony battery you need pandora battery so nothings going to work. go buy Pandora Battery

1, unplug normal battery
2, unplug AC charger
3, insert Magic MS
4, HOLD the left shoulder button
5, while still holding the L button, insert Pandora.
