Before I begin, I freely acknowledge that I'm a retard.
I attempted to downgrade my 2.7.1 PSP to 1.5. Now, I checked the UMD for the IC-003 and it was so small that I didn't see it last night with the lighting, and El Bricko occured. Today, I saw the microscopic IC-003 so my mobo was a TA-082.
Is it possible to take the El Bricko PSP back?
If you have a recipt, then yes you can take it back.
Really? Hope I can dig up the receipt, then... and possibly exchange the PSP for one that doesn't have a TA-082.
You probally will get TA-082 as there are in the shops now but why downgrade to 1.50 beacuse 2.71 supports homebrew as well
Yeah just tell them your psp stopped working and you have no idea what happened to it.;)Quote:

It just depends on the type of person you talk to.
How long ago did you buy it?
June 2nd. So about 5 months ago.
If you get lucky they will exchange it but if you get some wiseguy then he will say you have to send it to sony.
Well we'll see what happens. :)
Thanks, man.
*UPDATE:
Contacted Sony. They're sending me a new one free of charge! LMAO. "I don't know what happened, it just stopped working!" :D
Not that funny people who have sent it to sony came back with 2.80
Well, at least it won't be bricked.
Sony probably knows you bricked it while downgrading anyway..
No homebrewQuote:

i sincerely doubt that the receptionists know that kind of information.Quote:

^ Yeah, the receptionist seemed to not care about whether or not I bricked it, and since I still have 7 months of warranty left it's a free-of-charge swap.
Unfortunately, I think I'll probably get the kiss-of-death combo of a 2.81 system and a TA-082 mobo, but it's still better than what I have now, a system with the usefulness of a brick. Except it's a shiny black brick.
if u send it to sony, u might not get i TA-082, because they send u a refurbeshed one, not a new one. i sent in my bricked psp, and they gave me a non ta-082 2.80 psp.
If I don't get a TA-082 I'll probably still have to wait until someone cracks 2.80 for homebrew :/
you could get a TA-082 as well that will be bad luck
I wasn't talking about the receptionist, I meant Sony's workers themselves if they decide to check the PSP.Quote:

UPDATE: Got the new PSP.
TA-082 and 2.8 :/
^ ^
Unlucky sorry to hear that
Ah, don't worry....
I guess it won't take long to the TA-082 and 2.8 be cracked anyways...
XD
yea, theyre prolly make a devhook for 2.80. having a TA-082 mobo isnt as bad as it used to be now with devhook
Will it be a proble sending it to the sony if a wise guy comes up??
this is that same thing the happen to me lol same thing same story lol!!!!!!
wel i have my psp 1 year now and mine was a 1.52 and I upgraded my psp to 2.0 then i discovered the HOMEBREW scene i thought **** my is a 2.0 but luckily then the downgrader came (man i was scared when i downgraded) i now have a 1.5
i think everyone is scared when they first downgrade
I really dont understand devhook any more. i thought 2.8 couldn't use the new devhook?Quote:

2.80= No Devhook
1.5 = Devhook 2.82 emulation
then why did psp_iz_my_system say that theres hope for him because theres devhook
I doubt that will make a devhook for 2.80 users even if they do it will be a long time
