1] OFW Version when you bought the PSP
If you remember, the OFW was present on your PSP by default when you purchased it. So the next step is to check whether it is 4.01 or not. If it is, then there is a very high chance that you have this motherboard.
2] Identification Letter of your PSP
If you do have the Box of your PSP, then check for the label that has some barcodes on it and lines like these:
- PSP 2000 CW
- 100v
- G
So if you have a letter G, then again, there is a high probability that you have this motherboard.
3] Date Code
Remove the Battery of your PSP and check for the Date Code on the Panel. If it says 8C or 8D, then there is a very high chance of your device having this motherboard.
Anyways, if you are not able to find out what motherboard your PSP has or if you do not want to take any risks, then use the ‘Second Method’ where we only use the FastRecovery. That way you won’t damage your device.
