My brother's PSP is broken. It doesn't turn on with the battery in it, not with the battery and adapter, and when the adapter alone is in, the light turns on green and nothing ever happens. I've tried to remove the battery for like 5 minutes, and it doesn't work. I removed everything and it doesn't work. Any ideas (besides heating it to 350 degrees)?
I have -no joke- found that kicking and beating machines often helps them work.
But since you aren't likely to try that route, is there any sort of warranty on it? Did it get wet? Bro spilled some water on my gameboy once... opening it up to let it dry solved the problema.
I've no real advise for you I'm afraid, but I thought I'd just post and share that I've had my DS Lite destroyed twice by my 3-year-old throwing/dropping it on the kitchen tiles.
To mod the d-pad, he took the top (front) off the PSP and placed a cardstock d-pad shaped piece of paper under it to raise the pad up and make it more responsive.
when they say modded they mean modding the motherboard and the bios to play homebrew and make it do things like run faster than its supposed to. using a pandoras battery will more often then not bring it back to life after its been bricked (side effect of modding the psp. built in sony failsafe. those bastards)
i dont think putting cardstock paper inside would really do anything. have you tried taking it out?

I'm pretty sure modding means modifying, so that counts too.
Problem semi-solved!
After leaving the PSP inactive and with no charge for about 24-36 hours, it reset itself. The problem is indeed a dead battery, the reason it had no function at all was because the internet browser froze just as the battery died (for good) and so until it reset, every time the PSP was turned on it loaded up the frozen state.
...Theoretically, anyway.
The battery no longer charges, so my brother'll probably have to get a new one (a new battery, not a new PSP).
