I want to Brick my PSP

[FatherVic]

I bought a PSP from an online site. It is refurbished and has 3.11 FW. With the recent price drop, I can purchase a brand new 2.71 FW PSP for about the same price.
The return policy states that a functioning item is subject to a 25% restocking fee. I want to brick the PSP to put it into a non-working state to not be subject to that fee.

Any ideas?

Try running the 3.03 downgrader and see if it messes up the flash0

Start the new 3.30FW update with the battery cover open and the second it starts take the battery out. Thats what I did and now I have a new 3.03FW PSP ready for downgrading. All I need now is the unpatched version of gta liberty city stories, any ideas where I can get it....

Just get any update and pull out the memory card and the battery half way thought

I'd guess that Blockbuster would be your best chance...
Don't think you'd find it on the shelf at Best Buy.
Also try those GameStop type places and look for a used copy. I sure that they will let you fire it up in your PSP before you buy it to check version info or whatever...

[Roe]

No my memory stick is too small to hold both the 1.50 update and the 3.03 update at the same time.

 

[FatherVic]

So how did you determine if you were buying the right copy of GTA: LCS?

 

[Roe]

I checked for ULES-10051 first then to be sure I checked that it had a 2.00 update

 

[FatherVic]

forgive me, but...

ULES-10051 ?

 

[Roe]

Sorry I meant ULES-00151. Thats the version number at the side of the box
