Here's some information that can help (taken from Maxconsole). This will help you judge what version the PSP is by looking at the retail box. Some of it is still not absolute, so buyer beware... but this is all the information known at the present. It's separated by the package style:

PSP-2000 Motherboard Information:
TA-85 (Can use and make Pandora Battery)
TA-85v2 (Can use, but cannot make Pandora Battery)
TA-88v2 (Can use, but cannot make Pandora Battery)

TA-88v3 (Cannot use or make Pandora Battery)


Limited Edition & New Boxstyle:
Daxter Limited Edition Pack (TA-85v2/3.71 OFW)(CONFIRMED)
God of War Limited Edition Pack
(TA-88v2/3.95 OFW)(CONFIRMED)
Madden 09 Limited Edition Pack
(TA-88v2/3.95 OFW & TA-88v3/4.01 OFW)(CONFIRMED)
Piano Black with the New Box Style
(TA-88v3)(UNCONFIRMED)
Piano Black (Amazon.com)
(TA-88v3)(PARTIALLY CONFIRMED)

PSP-2000 Original Boxstyle Box Codes (Thanks to Alek @ Dark-AleX.org):
(No Letter) = 3.60
A = 3.71
B = UNKNOWN
C = 3.72
D = UNKNOWN
E = 3.80
F = 3.90

G = 3.95 / 4.01 (TA-88v2 / TA-88v3) BUT
A PSP with G and the 4.01 firmware is most likely a TA-88v3 motherboard, so it is advised that you stay away from them.

Triple confirm, I just modded one recently. I read elsewhere that it was a 100% success rate like Daxter and GoW, but I can't find the link anymore.

That would happen if you use OFW [Official Firmware]

You'll need a psp that runs CFW [Custom Firmware].
I can provide you with a link to a tutorial if you want.

If you don't want to hack your psp, then I suggest you use chickhen.
