My PSP won't turn on

Here are some instruction to help fix your problem.

7 Remove the PSP power supply's power cord from the PSP's power outlet. Remove the PSP power supply's AC plug from the AC socket.

This sounds like you have "bricked" your psp... there are a few things that can cause this: first would be that you have bricked it trying to install Custom Firmware, another would be that the battery died or it was shut off during an update. You can buy what is called a Pandora Battery and a "magic" memory stick which will reset your PSPs firmware to the original 1.5, or if you still have warranty you can send it in to Sony to get fixed. Pandora batteries and Magic Memory Sticks are sold in a package for about $10-15 on the internet. Good Luck, hope you fix it.
Please Rate, thanks!

When you were taking out the chip out of the slot, you most likely scratched the motherboard below, which takes care of WiFi and the memory chip yourself. Your best bet would be to call Sony if it is on warranty, if not, buy the part from eBay and have someone install it.

Maby you need a new battery or charge it.

your battery is probably totally dead try and get a secondary battery for your psp and see if it works

i might know y.you might have a brick.to get rid of this bricking someone to preform a pandoras batterey or you could preform the hack your self by looking it up.when u preform the hack, down grade software to1.5.Then you can upgrde to what ever software you want.

"Most" newer monitors will let you know if the are no longer receiving a signal. Sounds like the backlight is burnt out. Try getting a bright (LED works best) flashlight and shining it at the screen at all angles to see if you can see any of what you were doing. If the backlight is on the fritz, either return it on warranty or buy a new one.

easy i had this problem all you have to do is go buy a pandora battery off the internet just google (pandora battery)and your psp is bricked and the pandora battery can give you custom firmware CFW
