my friends psp has a semi brick. I have done pretty much everything short of sending back to sony. Here's a list of what I've tried.

1. replaced flash 0 - no effect
2. Format/reset flash 1 - made things worse
3. replaced flash 1 - no effect
4. Pandora - won't work (odd, its being done a phat psp to a phat psp)

So, what i get now is a black screen. It turns off after a few secs.

One thing i noticed is that when i put a pandoraized battery into his psp, it doesn't turn on automatically nor read the memory card. I think that's why pandora won't work.

any suggestions?
