Hacking How can I unbrick my PSP-2001?

Vanilla4942 · Jun 11, 2021

Hi, how can I unbrick my infinity-bricked PSP-2001?
I tried some button-combinations (L+HOME and R+HOME). These both work, but only when it wants they want to.
I had more luck turning it on with L+HOME.

I would say it's semi-softbricked/hardbricked.

Is my PSP one of those with the TA-088v3 motherboard?

On infinity-bricked PSPs, you should be able to boot it without CFW by holding HOME button while booting. I suggest you to downgrade it to lower version like 6.20 or 6.60 using Chronoswitch Downgrader, then install the 6.61 OFW and do the Infinity process again, that might fix it. If it doesn't work, there might be a problem on motherboard.

1) If you think that your PSP is semi-softbricked try to turn on with Home button.
2) Any softbricked PSP-2000 can be unbricked with DDCv9 (Pandora 5.00 M33-7).

Yeah, nothing pops up when I try that

Then do your own method, if you can get to the main menu then do my steps. Downgrade it to 6.60 OFW using Chronoswitch Donwgrader (here is a tutorial for that), update it to 6.61 OFW then do the CFW again. If the problem persists then its definitely the motherboard.
