PSP (fat version) Help?

For some reason my PSP just doesn't want to turn on. To know exactly what happened, I basically lent it to a friend, and when he gave it back he said it was still working (which I suppose I believe) and I didn't play it for about 2-3 weeks. Then I go to play it and it won't turn on. The on light is there, but the screen won't even light up.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? All the hardware seems to be in fine condition on the outside, not sure about the inside though. Much thanks. D:

 

Ugh. Sounds as if it's bricked. I imagine your friend turned off during an update, or tried to install Custom Firmware and screwed up.

What version is it? 1000, 2000 or 3000?

 

It's the fat one. The model is 1001. The firmware I believe is 3000 though or something? I'm not too familiar on that part tbh.

And yeah that was my first thought as well, it was bricked. Although if I can fix it that would be nice... if not I'll just sell it for parts and buy a new one. XD

 

Fixable, but you need a few tools first.

Firstly, does your PSP automatically turn on when you put the battery in?

If not, order this.

I assume you have a memory stick 512mb or larger? If not, get one.

You'll also possibly need access to Windows XP and a memory stick reader.

 

It doesn't turn on automatically. lol

Isn't that pandora battery only for bricks due to firmware problems? I'm not even sure if mine is having that problem. I suppose since it's cheap though I might as well try. lol

I also do have a Memory stick more than 512 MB. Mine is 1 GB.

What's a memory stick reader?

EDIT: I went and bought a Pandora Bat. and a memory stick reader (with another memory stick so I don't need to use my only one). Hopefully this works.
