My Mood: | | | | | need a little help with internet connection. Hi! since I uppdated my firmware to 3.90 M33 I can't get the ip when I try to connect to internet. I connect to the access point, but when I get to the ip part it just sez "A connection error has occurred. The attempt to obtain the IP address timed out." is this something that can be fixed?
thx Tanoj (atm Tan00b) |

(This will erase your username, internet configuration, background, time and date, and a few other things, but your saved data, pictures, music etc will still be there.) |

Points: 355.15 Donate | | | OK, so you've got Recovery. That's OK. But it might be worth checking to see if you can connect properly with any other devices that have WiFi (your laptop, phone, whatever you've got). If you can't get on with any other devices, it's the router's problem, not your PSP's.
But if it is your PSP's problem, I don't know what's gone wrong. But I have experienced a number of problems with upgrading custom firmwares - including a very strange one with my white PSP, that occurred when I upgraded it from 3.03 OE-C. It wouldn't turn on at all - apart from Recovery mode. I tried reinstalling the custom firmware - nothing. What fixed it was going back to 3.03 OE-C. Nothing really had changed, I just made a perfectly legit update that worked fine for thousands of other users. The next update, however, worked fine - it was just one update that didn't work.
So what I've learned is that if you come across a problem that occurs after updating, and makes no sense at all, the best thing to do is go back to the one that worked, and wait for another major update to come along. So, in your case, I'd advise going back to 3.71 M33 and staying there.
But before that, just check the access point with another device with WiFi. Who knows, it might not be anything to do with your PSP anyway. |

Points: 2.03 Donate | | | did you check to see if your wep/wpa keys were still saved. whenever i have updated cfw or factory resetted (sp); the keys did not save, nor did the access point info. i had to reset-up all that info. did you scan for an access point when you tried to connect to the internet, because if you did you need to re-enter your wep/wpa key.
