How do i get to repair my psp?

Got a used PSP. Need to understand some things about it.?

  • Hey, so someone just sold me a PSP for $25(adaptor,and memory stick included!). First of all, I dont really know the guy and he just went to my summer school so he cant help me. So here is the specifics I kknow about the psp he sold me: its a 1000 has a regular 3.6v 1800mAh Battery PAck a Memory Stick PRO Duo (says Magic Gate) firmware 5.00 But now that I have a PSP, I need to know more about it. So after googling, I know that PSPs can be cracked to download games onto it. I also found out you need a Pandora Battery and a Magic memory stick. Is this right? Ok so I also went to this repair shop, where this guy put one game on for free to test (wanted to see if the psp worked well). and then I notcied he switched my battery while putting the game on. but at the time i didnt understand why. NOW, after checkig online, I found out about the whole Pandora thing. He also said to come back to get him to put on as much games as I want, and get a larger memory stick. Oh yea, and the memory stick I have is already the Magic one, but batterhy is normal. BUT, my question is, cant I order the Pandora and just do what he would do, without having to pay? Do I need anything else? What does Pandora do exctly? and what does all this have to do with firmware? As well, can these guys at the store rip me off? I think he knew that I had no idea about the battery so thats why he said come back. LAstly (Sorry! I have too many questions!!), I dont know if my psp is cracked or not. Im guessing it is cus of the memory stick and the fact that the guy put on a game. If it is cracked, can I still play games (CDs) in it? THANK YOU! I just feel dumb and I dont want some pros taking advantage and stealing my money. Im pretty good at figuring out technological things but am just new to PSP.

  • Answer:

    If u have the firmware 5.00 no need to buy a pandora just go to google and download the cfw(custom firmware) 5.00 M33 or M33-6 and after downloading just connect the psp to your pc using a usb wire then a window will pop up select open folders to view files then select psp>game and copy the EBOOT file the folder after you are done exit the usb mode go to games select the EBOOT file and the update will start after the update is completed then go to system settings>system information and you should have version information 5.00 M33 that's it now you can download games from any good site just google it you will get many sites to download games.And yeah even if your psp is cracked you can still play games on the UMD Hope the procedure works if doesn't then just simply visit this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xseBGSoXA3I )

Yeah, you can definately order the pandora online. I suggest Ebay, but beware of scammers. Always check the reviews on the seller. This allows the PSP's system to download the games, because with out it, the PSP's hardware isn't strong enough to download the info. Yeah, the guy at the store can rip you off, so watch his every move while there to see what he does. If he downloaded the game into the memory card, then the PSP's system has been hacked, b/c Sony wants the customers to buy the games and not download them for free. And yes, you can still buy the discs (call UMDs btw) and play them on your PSP without any problems, unless the system gives you a message saying a virus was detected.
