I don't know what to say on this except next time (if there is), follow the 3.03 downgrade tutorial. It's safer and has more reliable results.

Make extra precaution before concluding the end of your PSP. Fully charge your PSP, turn it back on and see if it really is gone for good. If so, sorry man :S Getting a mod chip is my suggestion if it is bricked.

A mod chip acts like a secondary BIOS in case your motherboard BIOS dies. The 3.03 downgrade is a recommended tutorial regardless of what kind of motherboard you have. You would first upgrade your PSP from 2.71 to 3.03 by putting the EBOOT on your memory stick. I'm assuming you have a non-patched GTA: LCS (it will say show something like "2.00 update" in your GAME portfolio in the menu). You'll be needing that. Just look at the tutorial and follow along if all else fails.

You dont have to upgrade to 3.03 if you have 2.71. Plus it will save the cost of having to purchase a copy of GTA:LCS unpatched if you stay at 2.71 and downgrade from there. Anyways, what process were you in when it messed up? Did you succesfully downgrade from 2.71 to 1.5? or were you trying to upgrade from 1.5 to 3.03 oe-c?

I think it's a safer method because there's no way you can brick it unless the person reading the directions was illiterate xD
