Pandora V7 and a Phat 2.82 official

Yesterday I attempted to Pandora an original 1001 Phat PSP with the 1003 markings on the motherboard and the firmware is official 2.82. The Pandora set is of the V7 variety that I have successfully used to convert about 7 PSP's ranging in age and style. I thought this one was going to be easy but the MS light would flicker for a few seconds then stop. No display at all just black. If I let it sit in that state, the PSP would eventually turn off. I also tried it with and without a game installed. Is there something I am forgetting or is 2.82 too old and needs newer official firmware in order to use the Pandora?

Oh by the way, when I got home I tried the Pandora set on my PSP and the menu came up like normal. So the set is still bootable/functional.

Thanks

OK, someone must have seen this before. I didn't think Pandora only worked on certain firmwares. I thought it worked on all Phat PSP's.

if u are trying to downgrade, press the screen button once it turns on and loads up.
it might work, used to happen to me when i used the pandore to dg to 1.50 on my ta-86

Thanks, I thought that only had to be done on the slims but I'll try it.
