Run Key Cleaner on your PSP.

WARNING

It will attempt to determine your motherboard and region based on the current IDStorage, but there's a small chance your IDStorage is corrupted enough for these to be wrong, so use the info you got from pspIdent the previous step.

Press X to analyze keys

Press the key corresponding to your motherboard group. (For exemple, press X if you have a TA-082 motherboard).

Key Cleaner will scan your IDStorage keys and determine if any need to be fixed.

You should end up back on the main screen of Key Cleaner. Exit with the O button.
