ugh

ok so i bricked my psp. i figured,"no problem i'll just re pandora it." However, my original battery got ruined (through a totally unrelated event) and all i had was an extended life one. i looked at the compatibility test and it said it would work. so i get to opening the case (which is MUCH harder on these)and im just about through. when sparks flew from the battery. I know i wasn't supposed to use a metal knife but i needed something sharp since the case was much more durable. is my battery ruined? cause im afraid to touch it now

yeah that happened to me, it should be just fine... i used a slim battery.
put the batery in ur psp and plug the charger in and run... thats wat i did, i turned around and saw it was charging so i used it and its just fine
