    You need a Pandora Battery and a Magic Memory Stick to get it back to life, for the Pandora go to www.dealextreme.com, for the Magic Memory Stick google is your friend.

    There is no other way to fix a brick as long as the PSP wasn't on custom firmware before, it is a software error, not a hardware one. If the PSP was on custom firmware you could try getting into recovery mode (press the right shoulder button while powering the PSP up), if that still works (which I doubt) you might be able to fix it without a Pandora and a MMS.
