MY SOLUTION:

I had the problem where i would put in pandora battery and the power light would go green and the screen would remain off. Reason was that I had an incompatible memory stick.

Now, I searched online for 2 days till I got to that conclusion since I read in many places that the memory stick may be incompatible, but nowhere did it say how to check!

Here is how. Load custom xmb, go to any of the memory stick icons (video, music, etc.) press triangle. It should say MagicGate Supported. Otherwise it would say MagicGate Unknown.

If you have an Unknown (Unsupported memory stick) Pandora battery will not load up on your screen.

Hope this helps since it drove me crazy.

BTW, for Pandora battery to work, you need multiple files on the memory stick, which is something that was not very clear while I was reading. IT IS NOT ONLY MSIPL.BIN that is needed. It is the whole conjunction of files that are created with the Magic Memory stick maker.

Good luck.
