Sounds like a brick...sorry to say.

Are you running custom firmware or official sony?

Its its official fw then the only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard or use a pandoras battery and memory card, if you are running custom firmware and can access the recovery menu, then you have a chance to rescue it.

i have CFW i was able to access the recovery menu earlier now the green light turns on but the screen doesnt light up.

[Karlos]

Did you try to put a theme on your psp via the flash0 folders ?

Have you pressed the brightness button a few times too?

You can always run the recovery option at PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP in the recovery menu.

Put the recovery file in the above folder using the toggle usb in the main recovery menu.

What firmware are you running?

[usmcgoo5]

yeah i did.is there anyway i can save it?

[Karlos]

Hopefully you made a backup of the original flash folders before you put the new theme on, just reflash the original folders back to the psp and it should be ok.

[usmcgoo5]

i did back them up.how do i put them back on?

[Karlos]

Go to recovery mode, advanced, toggle usb flash0, then copy and paste all the backed up folders here. Exit recovery and it should be fine.

Just do the flash0 folder.

i cant get to the recovery mode i was able to earlier now the green light comes on but the screen wont light up

[Karlos]

Take the battery out for a few secs, then turn on the psp holding the R trigger button, this should get you to recovery menu.

[Karlos]
