the message - THE VIDEO CANNOT BE PLAYED . So i pressed
cicle to go bac and it was showing free space - 0KB.
I freaked out since i had more than 700MB. So i restarted
my PSP.After restarting when i scrolled over to music
or movie ot any other section , it did not show the
remaining space below like it was supposed to inspite
of my card being in the PSP it acted as if there was
no memory card.When i went to format my memory card
it showed tht no memory card is inserted inspite my
memory card being in the PSP and when i saw the light
which blinks when the memory card is read - i saw it
kept blinking and blinking and blinking and still the
psp system showed no memory card inserted.I tried the
memory card in a card reader and it worked fine bu my psp
does not read it .It keeps blinking.PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME ! PLEASE !!!
Hi there, same thing happened to me and It was really frustrating, to a point where I was about to smash my PSP! But don't do that, It wont fix anything... Instead, I will propose you something....
For all those people who have the problem of a PSP stopping to read REAL SONY CARDS, first, make sure that the problem comes from the PSP card reader and not the card. To do so, simply test 2 or 3 different cards in your PSP, and If your reader is "damaged", the orange light will keep on blinking... You can also test these same cards on another psp if you have one in hand. They should work perfectly (if the problem is your psp card reader...).
After making sure that your problem is located in the psp, thats what you will do:
- The problem might simply come from the fact that with allot of use, the pins inside the reader don't touch properly the connection contacts from your cards anymore. At least that's what happened to me, and I believe allot of people had the same problem...
What I simply did was to laminate a little piece of cardboard a little thinner than the card and a little longer, to be able to take it out when you need so. After making that piece, all you have to do is insert it with the card (on the card side that doesn't have pins --> where the sony logo is) and voila, you reader will start reading cards again, just like it always did!
This is a simple, cheap, and working method! No need to risk opening the Psp for nothing!!
