This guy bricked his psp and its not a TA-082a mobo. So chances are his flash is erased by something. If i were to change the mobo or just addon a mod chip that can write to the flash files then it would probably unbrick. Ive never opened my psp before because of the extended warrenty. So which one should i try? mobo or mod chip. O and mobo is cheaper right? Cause i dont see the point in a mod chip since theres devhook. |

but with the modchip, your psp will become unbrickable.... |

But the mobo would be easier anyway, as for the modchip you have to do all this stuff, like soldering, making lines in the mobo, etc. |
