How to Remove a PSP Blender

PSP Blender is an online service that offers legal downloads of music, video and games to a PlayStation Portable (PSP). The Blender service functions by having you download a series of programs from its website once you join. The programs are then copied to the PSP using the service mode option that allows it to connect to the PC and transfer files from the hard drive to the PSP's memory card. Because the programs are not created by Sony-approved developers, you risk one or more of the programs causing system failures. You can remove the Blender programs to return the PSP to full functionality. The procedure is similar to removing any program and eliminating its option to reload into the PSP.

Things You'll Need

• SD card reader
• SD card

Instructions

1. Remove the SD memory card from the side slot on the PSP. Insert the SD card into a SD card reader. Insert the SD card reader into a USB port on the PC.

2. Double-click on the icon of the SD card when it appears on the desktop. Double-click the "Games" folder inside the window that appears. Drag any game that was provided by PSP Blender to the "Recycle" icon. Right-click the "Recycle" icon and click "Delete" from the pop-up menu. Repeat the delete procedure with any other PSP Blender music, video or productivity program that is in any of the folders inside of the window.

3. Click the red "X" in the upper right corner to close the window. Right-click the icon of the SD card and click "Eject" from the pop-up menu. Remove the SD card adapter from the PC's USB port. Remove the SD card from the SD card adapter.

4. Press up on the "Power" switch at the lower right corner of the console. Hold the switch for 10 seconds before releasing it. Let the PSP's LCD screen go blank. Let two minutes pass. This eliminates any remnants of a PSP Blender program in the operating system.

5. Press up on the "Power" switch twice. The PSP resets, reboots and returns to its normal functionality once the main menu comes up on the LCD screen.
