I have a PSP phat which my friend got around feb of '07. He beat it up and it won't read umd anymore, so I inherited it. The only way to play games and run apps is homebrew, which s way better than what you can get on UMD. I was planning on making a pandora battery hardmod, but when I opened up the battery, the mobo was a small strip on top in line with the pins. I am also unable to separate the silver thing from the back part of the cover because of glue (thought maybe something of interest might be hiding under there). If I am able to, I would like to hardmod this battery, that would be nice, but if it is one of those un-pandorizable ones, I want to know so I can perhaps get one online. I don't understand why it would be one of the unmoddable ones if it is several years old, but I guess anything is possible with sony's anal attitude to homebrew. Any ideas welcome...
Thanks,

09-25-2009, 06:00 AM Is it a sony battery?
09-25-2009, 01:15 PM Did it perhaps look like this?
09-27-2009, 06:50 PM Tomaversa, that is what my battery looks like! Thanks lots. I will probably mod it this week.
09-27-2009, 06:57 PM BTW, I have heard tell that certain PSPs have a 'TA-082' mobo or something like that, and that they are easily bricked, I'm not sure. Did the PSP phat have this mobo, or was it only in slims? I don't have a memstick reader or another psp at my disposal, incase I brick it, so I want to avoid it as much as possible
09-28-2009, 02:52 AM It's the TA-88v3 mobo....Its only in the newer slim PSP models....It doesn't make it easier to get bricked, the pandora method just doesn't work on these motherboards.
But since you have a Phat, your PSP will be easily hacked via your Pandora battery and Magic Memory Stick.
11-29-2009, 12:01 AM My battery had a ~50% charge left when I tried to cut the pin, and a puff of smoke appeared. should it have been fully drained? also, if the PSP still starts normally was I succesful in pandorizing it? any hlp appreciated
11-29-2009, 02:15 AM I'm worried that it will explode when I charge it
11-29-2009, 08:25 AM or if it's not pass fw ver 5.03, upgrade to 5.03, use ChickHEN and Hell Cats Flash Recovery to install cfw
11-29-2009, 06:22 PM It is at 6.00, but I have heard of a 'freeplay' exploit which worked on the PSPgo, perhaps that would also work on the 1001? only problem is, the UMD is not functioning on this mchine, and the exploit involved a savegame. I don't really want to download anything illegally
11-29-2009, 06:35 PM the exploit isnt a cfw or a homebrew enabler. it is useless to you
11-29-2009, 06:49 PM Oh. Do you know if anyone has or might be developing other exploits for 6.00? I have no access to a pandora's battery and I am no oonger able to mae mine into one, the spark that caused the puff of smoke seems to have permanently soldered the pin onto the board.
11-29-2009, 09:41 PM No, as far as anyone knows, theres no information of any exploit for any firmware above 5.03 ChickHEN....Team Typhoon found a universal exploit, as in it works on every firmware, including the PSP Go, but that won't be released or leaked for a long time, if ever.....
Best bet is buying one online if you can't convert yours.....
11-29-2009, 11:10 PM Ok. Thanks for the help. one thing is for sure, I am NOT upgrading my firmware any more, as I found out about chickHEN after i had upgraded form 5.03 to 6.00, and got very cranky that day. I am a teenager, and cannot buy online, and my father already said he wouldn't get one, but there is a chance in the future of my friends getting one, hopefully they would let me use it.
