I got my premade custom battery for the slim and i formated my 2GB sandisk memory card but nothing happens when i put them both in my psp. Any help?

You have to run the Magic Mem Stick Program, that makes magic mem sticks.

well wait, are you trying to install CFW on it?

sorry that what i meant, i used the Total Newbie Installer on my memory stick but nothing happen when i put both the battery and the memory stick in

Edit: and yes i want to put a CFW on it

hm... idk what to tell you b/c i manually installed DC5 on my memory stick...

Does it turn on normally without the memstick in?

I just tried it and no it still does nothing

What FW do you have?

i got it at sony 3.60 but now its at 3.93

Okay, but that was 100% unrelated.

Well I don't know what to say...

i would advise to use the Manual Installation Walkthrough, and you can just skip the parts where you make the battery. Its not that hard, i've actually done it twice b/c i accidentally messed up my Magic memory stick

i think i found the problem. it looks like to me that it's the battery because according to the instruction, it needs to charge but its not charging so i guess i have to get a new battery. thanks for your help everyone

...have you tried holding the L trigger as you place your battery in?

Sometimes on slims you'll need to flip your power switch into the hold position then hold the L trigger while putting in the battery until it shuts off. Then flip the switch back to normal and hold the L trigger while placing your battery in and it should work unless of course your mem stick or battery is faulty.

i tried it but nothing happen, so i think i will try to get a new battery or hard code my slim battery into one.
