Sounds like a brick, son.

I need a few things from you.

-Your PSP Model
-The firmware your PSP came with or your motherboard type
-Can you access the Recovery Menu at all?

What was the firmware prior to your CFW?

You have a 2000 and you are running chickhen?
Try my tutorial: Unbrick Guide (Requires a Pandora Battery)

Do you know what your PSP's firmware was when you first got it?

From my experience, sounds like a full brick.

And no need to call me Sir, keep that to the Officers
Just call me Marine, that's good enough.

I went to other repair shop, and then tried a pandora battery but nothing happened,
he said it was totally bricked and need to replace the board. ouch..
anyway, all i can do now is to earn money. thanks to the response sir err marine.

thread closed.

That's a lie, you CAN recover from a full brick. I never use chickHEN, so I don't know much about unbricking a full brick from chickHEN, but I have unbricked fully bricked PSP's over 60 times, and it can be done. If I find a solution to your problem, I will let you know.

And it's Marine, not marine

I believe what 'Marine' said is 100% right. I've also bricked mine a lot of times foolishingly and i got em back in perfect condition. However you will definitly need a pandora battery, and there are many ways to unbrick after that. I recommend watch youtube vids for unbricking a full brick. remember: ITS POSSIBLE TO UNBRICK.

Hmmm....I don't see any mention of the Mother board of this PSP. Could be he is using the TA-88v3 (Iam I right?) And thats why he uses ChickHEN to hack his PSP. I believe PSP's with this Mobo and PSP 3000 cannot be hacked using Pandora. This could be the reason why the store you asked said you need to replace your Mobo. They will change it with a Mobo that can is capable of hacking with Pandora.

And if you are using ChickHEN and CFW is installed, The only way to go to Recovery Menu is by Pressing the Select Button on XMB or simply on the VSH Menu.
