First of all, ALL RIGHTS TO THIS GUIDE GO TO HERCULES FROM PSP MOD FORUM!

Well, since people search for this on google and get sent here, I figured I would give you a link to tell you how to do it. This guide is in no way mine, I take no credit, and if it fubars your PSP, shame on you for not following directions.

Oh, and buy the way, if you don’t want to make a Pandora Battery, CLICK HERE!!! I can personaly say that the Datel Tool works just fine from that site.

So, on to the Guide.

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!

And thats with free shipping! A pandora battery is a tool used to modify a Sony PSP to play homebrew apps, iso, and PSX games. It can also be used to fix a bricked (crashed) psp. When I got my hands on a broken psp I desperatly needed this tool! After days and days of searching the interwebs I fell upon DealExtreme.com, a site based in HongKong that sells tons of cool stuff, such as the pandora battery, and even the magic memory stick (used in conjuntion with the pandora battery, I made one myself instead of buying it).

Anyways, most Pandora batteries I found cost about $35, with shipping around $10, but DealExtreme has it for just $10.50, with the free shipping.

I recommend the site, the items are cheap, and they work perfectly!
