Bricking a PSP?

Question

I know what a bricked psp looks like... but what's up with that anyways? I mean... how do you get your psp bricked? Changing firmware? How? All I do with my PSP is put media on it (games, music, movies) via USB. Is that dangerous? Can it brick my PSP?

Answer 1

NO you can't brick your psp by putting Music/video/games etc...

you can only brick it if you play with Recovery Mode(only available for psp custom firmware), or trying to change the firmware...if i mess up my Recovery Mode, because i usually change Themes for my psps, i have Back-up files. So i just put them back in..and yah it works again..but with Custom firmware, if you don't do it right, you'd also brick it...i don't know if you've heard about it, but Pandora batter and Magic stick can downgrade/hack/unbrick your psp anytime..it'll put your psp in service mode and the magic stick will install the custom firmware for you...that's how Sony does it when you return the bricked psp to them, only if you don't void warranty by downgrading custom firmware, hope this helps..
