Help with my pandora battery

[kayshow]

I have a fully bricked psp 2003 and a working psp 2001 with cfw 6.60 ME-1.6. I've been trying to unbrick the 2003 using a pandora battery and an MMS but so far i'm stumped. I've followed videos that asked me to cut through the number 19 wire, i've scratched and cut through the board but the battery still boots as normal. I read somewhere that some 200x batteries even though they look the same can't be pandora-ed through the same method but i have no way of knowing if this is the problem or i'm just doing something wrong. The other battery, the one from the 2001 is non sony and it looks nothing like all the illustrative videos say so i dont know what to do with it. I'll upload pictures of both if i can. I really need help you guys.

there is no need to cut any wires or take apart the battery in anyway there is a way to do it without all that i will be honest i cant remember the site i got it off or even how you do it but u woulduse ur working psp to create the pandora battery if u search hard enough you will find tho i will look to see if i can find it or even the files for doing it an i will get back to ya

Already tried that, i used an app called Ultra Pandora Installer v.4.C but while it claims to pandorize the battery, nothing's happening when i plug it into the brick. While its supposed to turn on automatically, it just turns on like a normal battery.

Heheh, I used that trick as well. After looking at several videos on youtube - One after another, and some looked pretty dodgy. In the end I tried it out.
In the videos I saw, all the guys claimed you could just cut along the wire blah blah blah, and then use a pencil to make it normal again < lol?

Anyways. After several failed attempts at cutting along it, I got tired of it and decided: "Screw this crap. I already opened the battery, already been cutting into it. Now I'm just gonna go for broke, and buy a pandora battery if all else fails"
So I took my scalpel, and tried to get it underneath the wire, until I saw it break (Very thin little wire, but fairly easy to see + hear).

After that, my battery works as a pandora - Been using it for about a year close to two years now.

Oh, that thingy with softmodding it to Pandora - I think it involves using a first gen PSP to make it as a pandora battery. I would even go so far, as to think (High emphasis on think), it required a alrdy jailbroken PSP-1 to make Pandora battery.
I'm sorry to say, I have close to none PSP experience. I only checked that scene, back when my brother got a cheap PSP-2xxx and I wanted to mod it. I haven't updated it since I did it, and I haven't checked up on new methods etc. etc. etc. etc.

Well i would actually just buy a pandora battery but there's no gamestop shops in west africa and i cant find anywhere else to procure one. So i have no choice but to make one myself. Also i already cut through the board where the wire is, erasing all possibility of redrawing the line but still it stays un-pandoraed.

If my memory is right, there should be an option in the 6.60 ME-1.6 recovery menu that changes your battery into a pandora battery (although they call it a jigstick). I kind of switched to Pro B-10 LCFW so I cant remember exactly were it was but I am sure there was an option to make a pandora battery in the recovery menu. You can try this but remember, there are some batteries that can't be used as pandora's and there are some PSP's that can't make pandora batteries. Also, if you don't have a spare battery, make sure the PSP is plugged into the charger when you make the pandora battery and make sure you don't turn it off. Good luck with the unbrick.

Thanks but i tried that too and it says that its successful but again nothing happens.

I'm sorry to hear, I hope you'll figure it out eventually.
I'm kinda curious what you mean by cutting trough the board? Did you puncture the board, or just kinda got the blade underneath the wire and lifted/cut it like that?
More curious than anything, I have no solutions regardless of your answer.

Also that jigstick trick someone else mentioned - I think thats what requires a 1st gen PSP to make. Still not sure.

I nearly think your best bet, now that the wire cutting trick doesn't work is either to have a friend with a pandora battery (Or a PSP able to make pandora batteries). Or if you have a friend with soldering skills.
I took this wire-cutting route because I haven't tried soldering anything in my life. With my luck I'll either set fire to myself or solder my self to whatever I'm soldering lol

I literally cut through the board. There's a hole in it now. What would i have to solder exactly?
