AN
INSIGHT INTO PANDORA BATTERIES
Now,
if you have followed the guide towards making the Magic Memory Stick
and are trying to install the custom firmware you probably need to read
this small tutorial on Pandora Batteries. If you haven't yet read the
tutorial on making the Magic Memory Stick read that first.
Once
you have your Magic Memory Stick done the next steps involve the
Pandora Battery. However, many people ignore what a Pandora Battery
really is.
When
downgrading a PSP, Pandora Batteries are essential. These batteries do
not work like normal batteries; they are not used for gaming or other
similar. The particular feature that makes Pandora Batteries special is
the ability to downgrade the firmware on any PSP at any time. A Pandora
Battery is a universal unbricker for all PSP's. For this reasons,
Pandora Batteries are also called Service Batteries. These batteries
are the key towards really unbricking your PSP; they allow the proper
installation of custom firmware. Without Pandora Batteries, nothing
would be possible.
First
of all, it is important to remember that Pandora Batteries are only and
only used for downgrading firmware on the PSP.
Now,
if you are stuck in step 13 on the tutorial and are not sure what to do
take this considerations:
- After
you are done with installing the software into your Magic Memory Stick
through the computer, and retrieving the PSP from USB mode, turn it off.
- Remove
the battery cover and remove the normal battery. Remove the Magic
Memory Stick as well.
- Introduce
the Pandora Battery into the PSP; make sure the battery is charged.
Also make sure the battery is placed properly.
- The
green light on the PSP indicating power should go on. Then place the
Memory Stick into its corresponding slot.
- The
PSP should turn on automatically and display the menu shown on the
tutorial.
- If
the PSP does not turn on automatically, turn it on holding the R
trigger button while you restart it. This should do it.
-
If
your PSP does not turn on check our FAQ page.
-
Once
the PSP shows the menu displaying firmware installation, press X to do
so.
The
process will take a little time. Afterwards, remove the Pandora Battery
from the PSP and follow the next steps on the tutorial.
