As some of my friends already know I got my hands on a “bricked” Sony PSP. What that is is a PSP with its firmware crashed so it won’t boot up and do anything. I read around the interweb for about 3 months, and decided to purchase some “tools” to fix it up. Here is what I needed/wanted:

1. Memory Card (To help fix the psp)
2. Pandora Battery (Used to Un-brick the PSP)
3. Joystick Rubber (The PSP does not have one.)
4. Normal Battery (Can’t use the Pandora as a normal battery)
5. Memory Stick Duo to USB reader (to mess with the memory card)

After following many, many, many guides I finnaly found out I need a working PSP to fix the broken one. So that means I have spent about $75 on things that make no difference, unless I had a working PSP (and if I had a working one I wouldn’t need to get all this stuff to fix it!!!).

And now I am shipping the thing and all the stuff I bought to a friend on the other side of the USA. She thinks she can fix it, since she has a working modded psp…Wish me/her luck!

Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Being a pirate is alright to be,
Do what you want ‘cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!
