This is a very common fault with the PSP console; it is generally caused when there is some problem with a routine firmware upgrade. For example if the power cable is removed during the update, this can cause the PSP to become what is known as 'bricked'. What this means is that the software built in to the mainboard of the console has become corrupt, preventing it from working. This problem can also occur if a user attempts to install customer firmware (for the purpose of playing backups, ISO or eboots from the memory card). Console Doctor can fix this problem on the PSP 1000 by restoring the firmware to its previous state.
Book your console under this fault if you experience any or all of these symptoms:
- When the PSP 1000 is turned on the green power light will come on but no picture will be shown.
- If you put a UMD into the console the disc will not spin, you can tell by listening to the console when the disc is entered.
