PSP Problem - NOOB

[cj8o8]

Sorry every1, u guys probably heard of this problem already before.
Anyways, I recieved my Pandora Battery in the mail today. I have a Sony 4G Memory Stick Pro Duo. I used the MMS Maker 5-00 + Eboot program to format my MS. I put in my Pandora battery while holding the L trigger but nothing happens. Just a black screen. My memory stick led doesnt even light up or blink. Can any1 help me pls?

This is a phat psp 1001
I had it upgraded to the official 5.03 version, before i started on trying this project.
I did the following incase this will help finding out what is wrong.
-Tried to make a Hard Mod with my factory battery but messed up, so I ordered a pandora battery.
-I did not hook up the psp to my comp to format my memory stick with the program. I used a memory stick slot on my printer (could this be the case). I didn't have a spare battery to turn on psp exept my pandora.

alright... I tried both methods.. The PSP GRADER method I keep getting a "Not enough reserved sector space for IPL. The IPL failed to inject."

The PSP Pandora Deluxe method, I can't even start the format, 'cause when I try to load up the Official Sony 5.00 firmware, I would get a "cannot copy the file, disk error" message.

Check if your memory stick is fake... if not format it and use this method to install cfw... this does not require pandora battery:

ok...I used IMLMSTool2 and did a format and injected the single IPL to my MS. After the task was complete, I turned on my psp and it works. But I couldn't access that special menu screen when I hold the L trigger. It just brings me to the regular video, photo, etc. menu. I double checked my firmware in the systems menu, and I have a 4.05... So I appologize about earlier, I thought I had a 5.03..hehe.
So now, I tried looking for CFWs for the 4.05 but I can't find any. My main reason of doing this is 'cause I just want to be able to play ISO games on my psp.

I'm guessing it's a fake ms...because I tried a friends ms with less gb and it's a SanDisc. Is there a way around this, and still use my ms or do I need to buy another ms?

sounds like you should buy another one. Since you have a pandora i suggest you carry on with this method of upgrading.

Otherwise u could take iamafreak's suggestion but you need to update your firmware to 5.03 1st. However, chickhen is unstable and it may not work 1st time.

Either way, you should get (just long term borrow your friends maybe) another MS thats not fake, that way it eliminates this factor out of the equation regardless if you continue to use pandora or use chickHEN+recovery flasher.
