Re: Psp brick
You'll need a way to find out what motherboard you have. Usually it's written on the motherboard, so you'll have to partially disassemble it. If it has a TA-085 or a TA-090 motherboard, you should be fine with a pandora battery. If it's a TA-088, there are some chances it won't work since there are three version of it (V1, V2, V3). The only way to find out which version of the TA-088 motherboard you have is through software sadly. V1 & V2's are unbrickable with a pandora battery. V3's are not, you will have to buy a new motherboard.
Here's a link for a pandora battery: http://www.dx.com/p/psp-unbricker-pando ... 3-6v-12472
You will also need to create a Magic Memory Stick (MMS) for the pandora battery to work. Here's a tutorial:

It's a bit old, but it should work fine. Hopefully you'll get it working. If you manage to unbrick it or get a new motherboard, I highly recommend you install the PRO CFW on it. It's the best one (IMO): https://code.google.com/p/procfw/
Good luck!

FIXED....
Turning on the console while pressing the buttons "home" and "L" solved the situation.

Re: Psp brick
Awesome! You should get the PRO CFW now. There's really no reason to not have a CFW nowadays.
