Correction.

When I insert UMD disk screen goes off but PSP still in the menu with the UMD preview playing I press X PSP enters the game then I can play UMD disk no problem.......
When I press HOME button to return to PSP menu the game exit and screen goes OFF again. ?!?!?!?!!??!
Even If I take the UMD out I have to turn PSP off then back on so I can see the PSP menu.

Regards,
PmRg

lets see if i'm getting correct...

So regardless of a UMD inserted or not your LCD still fades to black,right?

1st Q:Is it a Phat or Slim.
2nd Q:Are you technical(screwdriver,soldering iron,etc;)

It's a slim PSP

NO... ONLY if I insert an UMD ... SCREEN OFF
IF I start an ISO SCREEN OFF

I could say I'm technical hehehe

are you using any plugins, i wouldn't think its a hardware problem since it only happens when loading iso's or umds so something is activating to shutoff the screen like software, so formatting flash0 and resetting settings may help and make sure your on the latest 5.00 m33-6, also if you had old plugins still installed like fusa or bright plugin they are outdated and need upgrading so if you are using plugins it may be the cause

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I think I've tryed everything... formated all the flashs, aldo I have bad 4 bad sectors in flash1, so could be that the only thing...
I installed the 5.00 Official, 4.01 official .... 4.01 M33.... all these happens the same thing. I don't have any plugins the PSP is completlly clean.

PmRg

Ok i'm thinking maybe its a faulty backlightFUSE
Which would be located on the back of the MOBO.

Quote:

locate the clip for the backlight (where the orange/gold thing goes into)
then turn over the mobo so you look at the back of it

you'll see 2 fuses there
one if for the speakers and one is for the backlight
the lower one is for the backlight

I'm back and here are those pics


FUSE


BRIDGED FUSE

I used this method because my backlight wasn't working at all. Now it works perfect.

Hope this works for you...
