Everything seems fine, from your description... the Pandora seems to be OK, the PSP is doing all the right things. But as it's not working, we need to do some troubleshooting.
As it seems you're already using the TotalNewbi installer, I think it would be best to check a few more things. Please answer these questions as best you can -
- Where did you get the Memory Stick? Do you know if it is fake?
- After the Pandora installation goes OK on the PC, are any files placed onto the MS?
- As you were given the PSP, I don't expect you to be able to answer this, but... do you know how the PSP got bricked?
Please answer those as best you can.
