Why Won't a Pandora Battery Work?

The Pandora battery is a tool used in conjunction with a Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP). When used, the PSP is placed into service mode where alternative firmware can be installed onto it. If your Pandora battery is not working properly, it either needs to be charged or you are not using it correctly. The Pandora battery is not simply a plug-and-play device, so follow some easy steps to make sure you're using it correctly.

Things You'll Need

PSP charger
Magic Memory Stick

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off your Sony PSP and remove its battery from the rear of the device. Insert the Magic Memory Stick into the PSP's memory-stick reader on the left side of the device.
- 2
  Insert the Pandora battery into the PSP's battery bay on the rear of the PSP. Slide the power button up to turn on the PSP. The PSP will be in service mode when it turns on. You will see a black menu with white text if you succeeded in putting the PSP into service mode.
- 3
  Plug the PSP charger into the PSP with the Pandora battery inserted into it and allow it to charge for at least five hours before trying to use the Pandora again if Step 2 failed. This will insure that you have a fully charged Pandora battery.
