his is a nice post

i have one question

i am searching the internet from alst 5 days for making pandora battery and magic memory stick

i am confused for only one point

some one is saying to the cut pin 19 like you said and someone is showing that you cut the pin 5

my psp is sony-2004 (white color) and my battery is sony lithium 1200 mah

and i tried both (cutting the pin 19 first and then pin 5)

but when i am inserting the battery nothing happens

i am making the magic memory stick correctly

thanks in advance

Hiya,
followed your description, however, downloaded the new psp grader v008, with 5.00 eboot included.
all went well and transfered to sony 4gb magicgate memorystick. made a pandora battery.
went to swith on, poer came on automatically, and doent swith off. Black screen and no change.
Although when adding a normal battery all is normal, unsure where im going wrong.
really like your advice and support.
Regards
Gary Burns

Ok nevermind… I found it. It’s here in case anyone is interested in it: http://www.custom-firmware.com/5-00-m33-6

With this 2 guides, I was able to update my used PSP 2001 from OFW 4.05 to CFW 5.00 M33-6.

I guess I was just luck that I purchased a used PSP and it was completely upgradeable.

I bought a 3rd party battery so I put aside the my self made Pandora battery just in case.

Works great so far and am able to play FF 7 iso from my memory stock.

Thank you again Len for this great guide (even if you’re not here to read it…)
