Hi Guys,
Usually I don't post on these forums, but I really need some help now. I bought a used PSP from a friend only 2 days ago, and unfortunately it will no longer read my UMD's. Unfortunately, returning it is out of the question. I have searched around for a solution, but because I am very upset I just decided to ask you guys for help. Below are some things that may have caused my situation.
-The psp stopped working when I took out a UMD when the psp was still starting up (with the sony entertainment screen). I'm not sure if this is bad, I was very hasty with the psp. Usually I read the manual and everything, but I didn't this time. I also regularly took out the UMD's while they were still spinning (is there a way to eject them?)
-The laser, as far as I can tell, is still moving. I have read about a few people whose laser got stuck, but when I hold the psp to my ear I can hear it buzzing.
-The UMD on the other hand, is not spinning. If I take it out while it is loading, it just pops out with out any spin, if that makes sense. I have tried multiple UMD's.
-The firmware was originally 2.00. I downgraded to 1.50, then upgraded to 3.03 oe-a followed by 3.03 oe-b. It worked great after I first upgraded. I also have various homebrews on it, including pspradio, wifi seeker, beats of rage, and daedelus.
-I can't say for sure, but I think the psp has been used very little. It is in like new condition, so i'm very bummed something happened.
-I don't know if it matters, but the screen has 18 stuck pixels (yes eighteen). Quite honestly though I don't mind them, at first they were annoying but now I don't even notice them.
If there is any other information I can give you guys that may help me, please let me know. Any help, advice, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks alot, I love this forum : )
