I bought a friends psp yesterday. I figured I would have to purchase a hacked battery or kit and then I found this guide. Success. It was harder to get some apps running than to install cfw! Thanks much!

Hi Len,

I am having the same problem as jeff, my verion is psp2003. When i put the battery the green light comes on, but nothing happens even after holding the L Button for a while.
I even tried with v005 with 3.90 and also v006 with 4.01 but still the same result.
I bought a new Scandisk 2GB, as you advised in earlier posts, but the result remains the same. Kindly advise what i am doing wrong.
BTW the verion of the Firmware is installed as 6.20

Kindly advise.Thanks

Very nice, After reading that CFW wasn not an option for the “PSP-2001″ it was nice to fine this easy to follow tutorial. I had already lifted the pin(following a previous tut suggesting the pin be cut.) caddy corner from the pin that you cut the trace on. If others want to do this with a soldering iron, they should use a good one. I used a 24V 60W set at 650F and very fine copper solder wick along with a needle to lift the pin with once the solder was removed.
After the CFW install, I soldered the pin back using the same needle to keep it from springing back up until the solder was hard(a few seconds). I used .01 diameter flux core solder and a solvent cleaner to remove the flux. I installed the 3.90 M33-3 CFW in place of the 5.02 OEM firmware. Thanks again for putting everything in one place.

hi thanks for this excellent guide which i reall enjoyed.it just makes me wonder why sony dont allow these mods or do them themselves via firmware updates.it really opens up the untapped (by sony) potential of the psp and therfor makesit a better product for us the consuer.
