ok i have an old (old) psp but the firm is 3.53 OFW

i only have one psp so i took my battery and opened it with plastic drive, then i took a plastic toothpick and popped the 5th leg off the chip (looks just like all the pics) did not touch any other legs.

when i put the bat in the green light comes on but nothing on the screen (just as all the guides say) then i used the noob magic stick maker (this was real easy) (use the one for non-cfw psp) i put the stick in and then put the bat in the green light some on but still black screen. i tried bat first then stick and still nothing. i have remade the stick 4 times. it still will not boot into service mode.

bat is one of the first 1800 ones
the stick is 512 pro duo (sony brand)
i'm using win xp

any help would be great

ps. i dont have a 2nd psp with cfw (that why i had to hardmod the bat)
pss. i just need to get down to 1.5 i can get the rest done from there.

1. Try pressing "x" anyways at the black screen and waiting until the PSP turns off. Leave it still for a bit, and then power it on with a non-pandora battery and you might get it to boot.

2. Are you using win xp service pack 2 (recommended).

3. I would remake the stick according to my guide for making the magic memory stick. It's in my pandora's battery installer tutorial. Sometimes doing things manually is just the best way.

4. Let us know how it goes.

1. yup hit just about every button on the thing :)

2. yup service pack 2

3. to be honest your guide is a little hard to understand (so many steps and someone of them i cant do cuz i dont have a CFW (thats why i'm trying to get the pan bat).

4. i will keep trying going to try the pan 1.5 gui

Are you holding the L trigger while you place your battery in place?

You need to hold the L trigger to make it go into service mode.
