Well since,
1.) ur DATE CODE 8C (is different from mine, 8B) also,
2.) the PSP purchased by u is in the Month of Oct,2008 (wen Sony themselves announced that all PSPs will be REPLACED by the newer (non moddable) mobo the TA-088 v3 from the month of end Sept,2008
3.) also, it has come installed with OFW 4.01 (mine was with ofw 3.71)
--------------

All of these things really point to jus one possibility, tat ur PSP is unmoddable..
-----------------
but...!!!! there is one last confirmation tat u need to make..so read on..

See the bar code sticker (it will be a white colored and square sticker roughly of the size of 2"x2") on the PSP box there must be sumthing written like this way (below):
PSP-2004 PB
220-240V
G
<then a bar code> (with a sequence of numbers below the bar code)
<then another bar code> (with a 2nd sequence of numbers below the bar code)

THe info (is from my PSP Box) and it means: (line-by-line explaination as given below)
1st line: the PSP is PSP-2004 (model is 2004), PB=Piano Black (the color of the PSP in the box)
2nd line: the PSP requires/works on a 220-240Volts
3rd line: the letter "G", this denotes PSP Slim Series will have the letter "G" or higher..
4th line: a bar code (not meant to be decrypted) as it will make no sense.
5th line: another bar code (not meant to be decoded either) for the same above reason.

NOTE: If u hv a letter "C" rather than a "G" on the 3rd line, it will surely mean that u have a NON MODDABLE PSP with a TA-088 v3 mobo so plz check and post ur result..
--------------

This info SHUD be copied and pasted on the 1st page of this thread with the heading: Getting to know if u hv got a non moddable PSP... tarey.. do the needfull buddy... (hope many of the guys here will agree with me on this..

Cheers n e-peace.....

*www.lynx-india.com/products_pictures/Sandisk%20Memory%20Stick%20Pro%20Duo%20Ultra%20II%208GB-L.jpg
pls tell me if there will be any problem. All those who have 8GB mem cards in their PSP , is there any drawback of using it?
URGENT HELP NEEDED !!!

AFAIK , there's no prbs with the compatibility of PSP with 8GB MS Pro Duo ... My brother's having the original Sony Memory Stick inserted in his PSP !

BTW , how much is this one costing you Gaurav ?

@ ashu888

I have the following information on the box

PSP-2004 IS
220-240V
G

so can i mod my PSP ??

 

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

Hmm.... now u hv got me scratching my head...(confused).. u sure its mentioned as "G" and NOT as "C" ??

btw, really nice color, IS (Ice Silver)

well, u can try modding BUT DO NOT try it urself, take ur PSP to a modder, he will try modding it using a P**dora Battery+MMS(magic memory stick)... if ur PSP can be modded, the modding with be done in less than 2 mins..else if the PSP is NON moddable.. the P**dora battery+MMS will jus NOT respond... (so no fear of bricking ur PSP)..

But yes, please as a sincere request, take ur PSP to a modder... u'll be charged a bare minimum of Rs.250/- (if at all the PSP gets modded) if not, then u DO NOT pay him the money.. as simple as that...

btw, from where are u ?? Mumbai ?
--------------

To all reading this: Guys fyi, PSP comes in the following colors..:
1.) PB: Piano Black (this is wat i own, looks really good)
2.) IS: Ice Silver
3.) DR: Deep Red (this is wat i wanted actually, but jus cudnt find it )
4.) MG: Mint Green
5.) CW: Ceramic White
6.) FB: Felicia Blue
7.) RP: Rose Pink
8.) LP: Lavender Purple
9.) BY: Bright Yellow

@ashu888
I purchased the PSP from a SONY authorised showroom in Bhubaneswar .
It cost me Rs 8750 . In the box i got the PSP and a charger with a couple of manuals .

 

[girish.g]

me too did some research and found out psp with 4.01 oe not moddable, but you should really check with a modder.
btw somebody help me too, to install 1.50 addon for 5.00 m33-3.

 

[BBThumbHealer]

The above queries leave me in confusion and tension too .... my PSP came with OFW 3.90 and is a PSP 2001 .... is that one moddable ?

 

[girish.g]

only the newer versions of the psp slim are non moddable.

Ooh i see... well better take ur PSP to a modder and check it.. as it is even if u and I were sure that ur new PSP was moddable, u wudn't hv tried modding all by urself.. isin't it.. ??

The above queries leave me in confusion and tension too .... my PSP came with OFW 3.90 and is a PSP 2001 .... is that one moddable ?

Well dont worry dude... jus check my post in the previous page (where i hv said in detail abt the DATE CODE and the BAR CODE thingy) and check for urself and post it here..

Btw...since u got ur PSP with ofw 3.90, u must SURELY hv a TA-088 v2 mobo wich is (a really good news for u) is TOTALLY Moddable..

I myself got the PSP 2004 with ofw 3.71 (wich simply means it has got TA-088 v1 mobo) wich is ALSO moddable, the only exception lies in the v3 mobo

Thanks bro... I didn't know that sony is providing prices on their official site..

I surf the link you've provided and compare both the PSP version. But there is no much difference. Is it better to go for PSP 3000 in only 1000 bucks more? is it possible to upgrade firmware in psp 3000 to play ISOs?

 

[shri]

PSP 2000 will be phased out and will be replaced by 3000 model. If you had gone through some of the previous posts you would understand that 3000 model is not modifiable (no custom firmwares) as of now. And you may be unlucky if the PSP 2000 model currently available has an unmodifiable board. Go through ashu888's posts for details.

 

[girish.g]

better buy the psp2000 over the psp3000 as the newer psp 2000 and 3000 aren't moddable. psp 3000 has shorter battery life, screen issues.
