I got a psp from my brother who lives on the islands and he wanted me to get it fixed. Well the problem here is that the psp does not show any pictures, just some beeping sounds when you press the arrow buttons and the four other buttons. I had already tried to replace the LCD screen but it turned out the same. So what do you think the problem is

I heard PS2 games from different countries were not supposed to work in the PS2 in the US, I was wondering if it is the same with the PSP because I have a game in a US form and the one in Japan has more characters and better graphics… I was thinking..would the Japanese version work on the US PSP?

You guise are dumb as hell. All that sh*t is real easy. Either you guise are 6 and haven’t developed a properly educated working mind yet, or you’re retarded.
-You can’t download a PSP iso game and expect to play it on teh PSP without Custom Firmware. You need a Pandora Battery to install the CFW. Brand spanking new PSP batteries are as of now, unpandorable.
-To put music on the PSP, plug it in to your computer via usb. Turn on PSP and connect to usb. Open the PSP folder on your computer. Drag MP3 to the Music folder. Duh.
-To get on the Internet using the Slim PSP only. Turn on the WiFi switch at the top of the psp. Open browser. Establish a connection. Duh.
For all other questions regarding anything other than CFW and hacking the PSP, read the god forsaken manual.
