Fanjita from Team Noobz recently bought himself a PSP battery from Amazon, planning to turn it into a Pandora’s battery. Despite the battery sharing the same model number as the older, Pandora-compatible battery, existing tools failed to convert the battery.
If this is indeed the latest move by Sony to keep hackers out of the PSP internals, I give it two weeks max before they find a new method.

As if the risk of bricking your PSP wasn’t enough, now you can potentially blow your hand off in the quest to run homebrew on your PSP. A member of legendary console modder Ben Heckendorn’s forum has posted instructions for turning a standard Sony PSP battery into a Pandora’s Battery with a soldering iron, instead of another already homebrew-enabled PSP.
We’re not joking about the blowing your hand off thing either - please take note of the warnings and do not attempt this modification if you aren’t experienced with a soldering iron.
