[TUTORIAL] Make a Pandora Battery and Stick with no CFW PSP

[psplayer]

Hey everyone call me stupid but what is a pandora battery and what does it do

[Monkey Business]

A pandora battery can unbrick your PSP and it can also downgrade your PSP from any firmware.

Kinda off topic, but I found this battery in my room, I'm not sure if it's broken or a pandora's battery because I tried to make a pandora's battery a long time ago.

Would a pandora's battery power on the 360, but not show anything. Like would the backlight turn on, but not welcome you to the XMB? I don't have a small enough memory stick to test out and see if it's a Pandora's battery or not.

yeah if its a pandora and you dont have a magic stick it will just turn the green light on and the backlight of the screen and nothing else will happen.

[bamhm182]

Alright, thanks, I must have been successful with my trying to make a Pandora's battery.

[tergazzi]

Most likely. I would just make a stick real quick then test it to make sure, so you dont think it works then if something happens and you need to use it, you end up SOL.

honestly, i would have to see the circuit board to tell you, I dont have a complete list of batteries with numbers to compare to. I want to build a list but there are just so dang many types of batteries with different numbers it would be a lengthy project. Is it an official Sony Battery? what i will do is type in that number and what not and search for it, maybe someone out there has posted a pic of the circuit board so you dont have to open it up, just in case its not compatible.

*i am getting close, i am finding the circuit boards for the s110 1200mAH just trying to find one that specifies the model number. Well i found several but none with a model number just s110. I dont own a slim, so i havent tried the s110, but I would have to say if it has the chip labeled "IC04" it will work you just have to figure out which pin is the #5 pin. I also heard somewhere you can cut the board itself breaking the pcb copper line to pin #5, but they guy never got back to me to tell me if it worked or not.

yeah its a official sony psp battery

[tergazzi]

I couldnt find a pic of one that mentioned the number or anything so I cant say for sure if it will work.

Step 13:
Now you should see the Pandora menu, go ahead and choose the best option for you. I always use #4, because its universal and it will install CFW 3.71 m33-1 on to any PSP you use the stick on! Once you have selected the best option for you type it in then hit enter.

I get to this point fine. Then after choosing #4 get:

PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code E:/msipl.bin
Can't open E:/msipl.bin
Press any key to continue . . .

Is this normal? I see the msipl.bin files in their respective rars but didn't know if they should automatically get installed or if that was something I had to do manually.
