Is my PSP bricked??? Please Help!!

**goldenmage** · October 10th, 2006, 19:11

Okay, I fully charged the PSP, but instead of going to the initial screen, it doesn't load at all... But the weird thing is, the power indicator doesn't come on (Which should come on, even if you brick a PSP). I remember when I bricked my old PSP, the light came on, but there was a black screen. This time, the power indicator doesn't even come on.

I tried plugging it in directly (without the battery) and the orange light flashes momentarily and then goes out.

I think the problem is a faulty power supply, or *sob* a brick.

What do you guys think? Could my battery be the problem? Or is it something else?

Do you have any form of custom firmware installed?

Nothing. No light on the power indicator, and nothing comes up on screen. It doesn't even power up.

I am almost entirely sure that it is a hardware issue. Problem is, I don't know what exactly is the problem. If I did, I could just order a replacement part and install it myself (unless it required some advanced soldering skills, of which I do not have...)

What do you guys think? Is it my battery? My power supply? Or could it be something else?

Woah, you took the battery out while using X-flash?Not a good move!!
Try putting the restore files X-flash generates or your 1.5 dump on the memstick.
