Once a PSP is bricked it is completely broken, unless you have a mod chip installed.

PSP's are generally bricked when people don't follow downgrader instructions correctly, or when using 'customization' apps to do trivial things like change fronts.

Most electronic devices don't come with any form of 'reset to default' option if you completely destroy their ability to boot (start up from power on), especially if you're making unofficial modifications like downgrading.

Homebrew is fantastic, but it carries a risk if you're not careful and rush things, rather than reading up on apps before you use them.

Evolve: True the internal hardware isn't actually destroyed, but wouldn't you say that for all intents and purposes to the average user (not running custom firmware), a corrupt flash0 (brick) is completely 'broken' PSP.

Without a modchip (and even then if its a ta-82) its as good as broken.
