Yo Ben,  I'm gonna throw my 10 cents in here...  I' try the pandora thingy bro.
Seriously, Uncertain God seems to be a bit of a pessimist on the subject, but IMO you've got nothing to lose.
Get your mum to cancel the cheque, try the battery fix, and if the ID stuff is still stuffed, then stuff it (lol!), you'll be no worse off than you are now!
If Sony complain that the cheque was stopped, then apologize and send them another one (if you must :(!)

Ben seems to have a problem with his friends PSP. Yes?
He's looking to his EP friends for constructive advice. Yes?
If you've successfully un-bricked 11 PSP's and downgraded 7 more in addition to that, then why tell him about problems that you've heard about from other people?  
If you'd said to him in the first place "I've un-bricked 11 PSP's using the battery" then he'd have no concerns whatsoever in trying it. Yes?
I really wasn't trying to offend you, U-God - Maybe "pessimist" wasn't the word I was looking for, so I'm sorry if my using it did?

p.s. Thanks Diego :)
