How to Unbrick a PSP Slim

A bricked Sony PSP Slim is more or less a very expensive paperweight. A brick usually occurs when you are updating the PSP and lose power for one reason or another. If your PSP is under warranty still, you can simply send the unit back to Sony to be fixed. You can also fix the PSP Slim yourself with a Pandora battery and a Magic memory stick.
