The first time I bricked was mysterious. It was a 2.71. I can't remember how it went but it bricked for no reason while downgrading.
I just took it back and got a new one.

The second time I installed an external Wifi antenna jack, wouldn't do much on it's own but with an amp and a directional antenna... Either way it didn't turn on after that.
I just bought a new one, swapped the guts and returned it for a refund.

The third time I was mucking around with the firmware in various versions attempting to disable the MAC filter, and write a new driver supporting packet capture. My intention was gonna be Kismet/Ethereal clones for PSP. Something was fudged beyond my comprehension in the packing process, and I managed to brick the PSP during flashing.
I tried tracking down the guy who made WiFiSniffer for PSP so maybe wee could work together, but no contact info could be found.
I just bought a new one, swapped the guts and returned it for a new one and sold it.
So I gave up...oh yeah...*googles devolution mod-chip*
