The Mysterious Brick

Today, a person named "Rhein" approached me with a "bricked PSP".

action: plugged in a Pandora MS + Pandora Battery.
result: hangs at "formatting flash 1..."
note: this is the first time I encountered this.

action: plugged in a Time Machine MS + Pandora Battery
result: successful access to 3.60 M33 on Time Machine MS
however: still can not access or fix flash1

action: tried to restore "my" Nand Backup on "his" PSP
result: nothing out of the ordinary at first but now that I think of it...
- no longer able to boot from Time Machine MS
- was able to format flash1 and complete Pandora Procedure
BUT it still acts like a bricked PSP.

Lessons learned today:
1. keeping a NAND backup of your PSP Slim and Lite is essential
2. "Slim Battery" can indeed be converted to Pandora Battery
