my psp bricked or broken?

if you can use the custom firmware then try updating to a higher firmware and then downgrade.

The strongest point in action it to just dang use 2.71 SE-C

well it's not that simple first he has to have a working 1.5 to update to 2.71 SE-C

yeahh it cant even go to the xmb and when i used custom firmware it wouldnt even let me update

hmm... this has never happed before to any one has it? we need to make a new name for it, find out what causes it and spread a warning of some kind... i have no clue what to do about it, but i have a name i think, SHOT! lol

i was changing themes on theme psp and it just turned off and when i turned it back on it went to that screen..monkey said the theme was corrupt


and i call it the blue screen of horror
