Gaming Updating a psp without a screen

[ChuckBartowski]

So the screen on my psp is completely shot. you cant see anything. so rather than going and getting a new screen for 40 bucks, i decided to buy a video output cable. Well lo and behold, you cant update your psp while using video out. As far as i can get is on top of the update (its on the memory stick), and then try to select it, where it then tells me to switch to the screen. so what i need is someone to give me detailed instructions on what buttons to press to get this thing to update, while i cant see the screen. Im trying to update to firmware 5.03 so i can do haxx, if that info was needed. Any help would be much appreciated!

i'm sorry. i don't know the answer to your question but if you have a 3000, i found you a cheaper screen.

there is cheaper out there too if you have a 1000 or 2000 as well.

 

[ChuckBartowski]

i have a 2000 actually.

 

[smash_brew]

wow. i actually can't find a cheaper screen for the 2000. i'll stop talking now.

 

[ChuckBartowski]

Exactly.

Do you have a psp and could possibly test this for me?

i've got a phat floating around here somewhere, but the av cables are for the slims only. sorry.

 

[ChuckBartowski]

nononon. im just asking, run the update file, count how many and what button presses you have to make to get it to update. Because i dont know what i need to do.

got ya. sorry i've been drinking. if i can find my psp i'll help you out. might be quicker for someone else to do it. i think the last place i saw it was in my car a few months ago, and my car is like a bottomless pit.

I updated my PSP 2001 with no screen before and I got it working with upto 5.00 M33-6. It was hard seeing the youtube videos and the actual timing

I think he's saying that he watched a youtube video and counted out the button pressing from that.

If your sound is working OK, that should probably be helpful.

IIRC, there is a button combo that can bypass that requirement, but I may be wrong. It may be to bypass the 75% battery requirement. Can't remember.
