See the pic on the left? That’s a bricked PSP!
Still don’t know what I mean? Well, let me explain.
A bricked PSP means “useless” or “f@*#!d”. If you bricked your psp and there is nothing you can do about it, then you can call it dead.
NOW if you have recently bought a PSP, there’s a chance of this happening if you plan on “playing around with it”. This normally happns when you start playing around with the main memory, or Flash O. A word of warning. Its not safe to brick and recover your psp just for fun…
A) NORMAL BRICK
So if you bricked your psp; you should have nothing bu a black screen when you boot up your PSP. And pressing buttons will do nothing for it.
Now this kind of brick happens from doing something big with your psp. Like playing with flash, downgrading, updating…
<— A bricked psp. As you can see closely that the power light (green light)
is on means the psp is running. But the user just gets a black screen and nothing else. The memory stick light will flash too (very rarely) but wont help you.
B) SEMI-BRICK
NOW semi-brick is NOT like a normal brick. Semi-brick is also called “FIXABLE BRICK”. If you see; THAT THE SCREEN FREEZES AFTER YOU BOOT, NOTHING WILL COME UP AFTER YOU SEE THE OPENING VIDEO, OR IF YOU FLASHED SOMETHING SMALL AND BRICKED YOUR PSP WITH THAT (such as flashing; background, theme…)
Semi brick sometimes can be fixed by just pulling out the battery for a while, charging your psp, formating your memory stick or flashing back the orginal file that you flashed over.
These are some types of semi-brick psp’s….:
<— BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH here it tells you to click O to fix. but if its bricked it will give you the same page if you click O. EVEN IF YOU TURN OFF YOUR PSP (cuz its emi-bricked)

Anyway, anytime you are playing aroun with Flash O, just make sure you know you run the risk of bricking your PSP. So follow instructions carefully and be safe.
