Bricked PSP

Hello people, sorry if this is the wrong area please feel free to move the thread. Basically i have a CWF PSP. It's been fine for a long time, recently i formatted the memory stick after backing up all the data on my pc. I then proceeded to move the data from the pc back to the PSP, everything worked fine except the PSP games i had, every one of them lagged like mad and none of them were .cso files they were all .iso files. Anyway went to try it again this morning and i can't even turn my PSP on now, the batterys charge, the backlight turns on but it makes no difference because the system doesn't start up, can anybody please talk me through fixing this problem? I do have a pandora battery and two other batteries, one which came with the PSP and another i bought for extra power. Any help would be GREARTLY appreciated as im pretty clueless about this stuff, my friend did everything for me in getting it custom etc. Thanks in advance.

 

Look up a tutorial on downgrading PSP (there are plenty on google, also a dated one in the tutorials section), all you need to do is create the magic memory stick and use the pandora to redowngrade the PSP to CFW, that should fix any software/hardware errors in the flash. Though I cant see how moving games from PC to PSP bricked it (I assume you were using a USB cable?). Every now and then a game (iso) will corrupt on transfer, but that shouldnt cause a brick.

 

Cheers Almo, got it back on working again now . Just a little problem with the games, i only have two games on there, they're both the .iso version of the grand theft auto games. For some reason they are lagging VERY SEVERLEY, i used to have the .cso version of LCS and its 10x worse than that its god awful, has anybody else had this problem and can you recommend a way of fixing this. Cheers

 

sounds like it could be an issue with the pro duo card, might be worth investing in a new one.

 

Thanks for your help Almo, the lagging only seems to be with PSP games, i have GBA roms that seem to be working fine, except for some glitches in them which keep causing them to crash, do you still think its the memory card if so i will replace it, cheers.

 

it still possibly could be the card, a GBA rom takes a lot less read/write cycles compared to a PSP iso, hence you should probably notice less lag. Try formatting the memory stick and just adding one PSP game and see if it makes a difference
