So, I bought a broken PSP, this time seeking a slightly bigger challenge than an analog replacement or screen swap. This PSP won't turn on. Not with it's battery, not with my PSP's battery, not with a Pandora+MMS, not with just the charger. The light just flickers for a moment (except with the Pandora which flashes according to the Pandora's pulse). The only thing I've noticed is that the light gets dim at times, which I've never seen before (the PSP as far as I'm aware isn't like the GBAs, where the light brightness shows battery life). The only thing I can think of is that it's hardware based, not software, as the seller said he never tried modding it or opening it. He never mentioned dropping it either. So, I'm guessing I'll have to swap out the entire battery array. Is there a software based tool anyone can suggest though, I want to give a full flash a shot first. Here's to hoping. Thanks!
