im making a distress call in this post cuz i have a psp2001. the most i can get it to with pandora is for the power light, the mms light, and the lcd backlight to come on, nothing else no menu anything. i believe i had 4.01m33 on it b4 it crapped out. im taking a real big shot in the dark but could be my motherboard gone cuz i had it clocked at 333mhz. a couple games i played from the stick would say overclocked on the bottom right hand corner of the screen in red block letter during a loading point. the one day i turned it on then right after it seem like the screen went crazy vertical lines were out of order on it then shut off an i couldnt get to come on wit the regular battery with full charge.

333mhZ isn't really overclocking since the PSP is capable of that anyway. If you were running it at 366mhZ (theoretical since no one has overclocked the PSP, ever) then that would be overclocking.

I run my XMB at 266mhZ and my games at 333mhZ all the time. Nothing wrong with it except it eats your battery a bit faster.

If you're saying that your screen went nuts, that sounds like a failure of the screen itself. Replacements can be found at DealExtreme.

Personally I do not think this is fixable!

would the screen being dead cause the psp to not turn on properly with regular battery?

if it was the screen you should still get output from the video port correct??
i really believe it's the mother board that went for a shit!!

sounds fixable. Although I've never heard of this happening, and since you were running m33 fine, it shouldn't be a brick.

When you turn it on, hold R; Can you get to the Recovery Menu?
If not, I'd say order a new screen, or a new battery. That shit might be shot.
Else reformat your card, and instal 5.50 Gen-D or something, see if it works.

I guess you could get a pandoras battery, format the stick with an MMS, and uh.. Hold L when you boot. See if it IS bricked, because I think when a PSP is bricked, the backlight still comes on.
