How to Restore PSP Files

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) can sometimes become corrupt. This usually happens from deleting important system files. The PSP cannot operate without all of the necessary files on the PSP motherboard. To restore the system files, the PSP needs to be put in service mode to have the files copied over. The Pandora service tool battery is what puts the PSP in service mode, and when used with a Magic memory stick, the PSP can be fully restored.
