On the back of the post about the PSP downgrader for firmware 2.5/2.6, its also worth mentioning that some recipients of the Undiluted Platinum ModChip have had some serious issues fitting the device.

It looks like a few have managed to break their PSP’s, meaning that the device is bricked and no further action can be taken with it. This has occurred even with people experienced in fitting ModChips and the technicalities of modifying electronic equipment.

So again, a warning – please be sure of what you are doing when it comes to fitting the ModChip, getting it wrong can leave your PSP bricked. The only solution to this is to then go out and purchase a new Sony PSP.

If in any doubt, consult an expert, and if you are not confident enough to perform the modification yourself, find someone who has performed the update before, and who is willing to modify your PSP for you and cover the cost of replacing the PSP should something go wrong (good luck with that last one).

The PSP is a complex piece of electronic equipment and should be treated with some respect.
