psp turned off when installing update

[pcman1985]

When installing psp update v3.80 today my PSP fell on the floor and switced itself off (the installation process was only a few percent at the time) so I turned it back on and nothing appeared on the screen even though the power light was on.

It's dead, right?

If the power light is on (green light) for 10-20 seconds and then turns oyou have your self a bricked PSP.

Does the green light come on and only a blank screen?

[princess]

yes ive taken the batt out and tried the charger on its own that didnt work

I'm afraid its bricked which means the PSP is dead.
The only way to fix this is by using pandora battery. Here is how to make one.

If is an independent games store then maybe however if it is a retail store then i doubt it. If its under warranty then just exchange it.
