Can you tell original FW version by PSP serial #??

[Car_nage420]

Ok i've been looking all over, and yes i googled it. lol
and still can't find what i need.

bought a used PSP, 2.6, but i don't if it was originally a 2.6 or was upgraded to a 2.6 would be good to know before i try downgrading it. lol

anyway, is there a way to tell? by serial # on the psp???

any help would be appreciated. thx

HERE if you got the box

I believe you can not tell. Try calling Sony and ask them to check. I will check my PSP serials first few numbers and I might post again. Tell us you serial number....(I know that may not be what you wanna do)

UMMM, did you read the post??
this is a completely diffrent question the one i asked about the motherboard.

not looking for Firmware by the box, i already bought it and you can easily see what the FW is on the PSP.

it's now a 2.6, i'm trying to find out if there is a way to tell if it was ORIGINALY a 2.6, or was upgraded to 2.6

i tried asking the guy i bought it from, but he has'nt responded

Well if you look at the first link that Asuki posted and you check your psp box... you should find your answer... unless you didn't understand the directions...

check it out homie.
"...but the code letter should be found directly under the voltage rating (120v or 240v). ..."
(follow instructions)

A = 1.5 confirmed
B = 1.51 confirmed
C = 1.52 confirmed
D = 1.52 unconfirmed
E = 1.52 confirmed
F = 2.0 confirmed
G = 2.01 confirmed
H = 2.50 confirmed
i'm guessing that any letter over H is 2.6+

DO YOU UNDERSTAND???

EDIT:

Nice work Asuki

i just swapped a guy no prob, but never asked him if he updated it b4, so is there a way i can get around that, i know this has been asked b4, but i cant seem to put the right words together to search for it
