    I've got 3 problems:

    1.
    This happened a few years ago and I can't use my psp, but I'm starting to miss it now. Long story short, I bricked it and in a panic connected it to the pc and formatted it totally. By that I mean: Right-click on Device F:/, select format, dum dum duuuuum.

    So now what the psp does basically after I turn it on is just a blank screen for 5 seconds than it turns off. Is there ANY way I can fix it?




    2.
    In my modded slim I have an 8gb stick which I'm hoping to use with my coming psp-3000 (which i'm not planning to mod). Since I used the 8gb stick to mod my slim, will it be risky to use it with the unmodded 3000?




    3.
    This question goes to anyone who has been using the psp-3000 for at least a few days:
    How nicer does it look?
    Is the fault in the new LCD that much of a problem?


    Thanks

    To answer your first two questions;

    1. Seeing as the intial problem is that you've bricked your PSP, you will need, like the previous poster said, Pandora's Battery and a Magic Memory Stick. You can use the search button of the forums and Google to find out more about these two items.
    As for the formating, that doesn't really do anything. You didn't format any of you PSP's internal data, just the data from your memory stick, meaning all your games, game saves, music, pictures, etc.

    2. I'm pretty sure that there's no risk in using your 8 gig memory stick. There aren't any real features in the sticks that enable the PSPs to know what you've been doing with it. Then again, I don't have a PSP-3000, so my assumptions are, well, assumptions.
    Gone fishing for about 3 years... what's new?

    As for mstick, it's the 8gb one we talked about earlier. What do I do with them?

    if you have a magic memstick you had made but you formatted it as im reading,then its wiped totally.the files for the magic is gone.course,im not even sure if magic works on 8 gigs or not newho.ive only tried up to 4 gigs.

    solutionut the magic files back on using a card reader on your comp,if you have one.or find someone you know that happens to have a magic mem stick or even a working psp,that wouldnt mind you using it to make a magic memstick
