I don't think its a brick
Its was physical damage that stopped it from working not trying to do a mod or flash a theme. Sounds like more of a hardware problem

I have a psp as well that I can't get going, I bought it off ebay just cause i wanted one to play with and open up. It doesn't turn on, but with the pandora battery in it, the power button just sits and blinks for a split second, I think a new power board will do the trick but i'm not sure...

A developer needs to come up with some sort of diagnostic hombrew that will allow you to usb it to your computer and have it run a test on it, find out whats working and what isn't, that would be the best
