I have succeded in repairing my bricked PSP by replacing the motherboard! Since I had already purchaced a new one a long time ago, I'm keeping one at 1.5 and keeping the other one up to date. Anyway I had a hell of a time connecting to my router and finally figured out why...(although I have no idea why this is or how's it's possible!!!)
Anyway, I always have my router's MAC filter turned on so I ended up turning it off and checking the log when connecting my PSP Somehow... My PSP SHOWS it's mac address as (the original) 00:01:4A:4D:F2:BF (which makes sense because I put in a new motherboard, I DIDN'T CHANGE THE ETHERNET CARD!) but what it Actually is now, with the new motherboard (as stated by my router and it works now), is 00:01:4a:5a:3b:46
ok... I'm Network+ certified and this baffled me for a good while (still does but I have it working now). Can someone please tell me how this is possible?
Maybe I will confuse people with that...
In short, after changing the motherboard my psp says it's MAC address is one thing when it is actually a different one (or vice versa, sinse the original MAC address is what it still says it is )
