My PSP won't even recognize that I have a UMD inserted, what should I do?

Is it new? Is it old? Phat or slim? Warrenty intact or expired?

Does anorexia induce constipation?

It's a slim Starwars LE PSP.
I bought it on eBay (I knew it wouldn't read UMDs, didn't know they meant it wouldn't load them at all). I don't really NEED it to read UMD's, since I got it for homebrew and whatnot, but it would be really nice to be able to buy games for it.

Well, if you knew it wouldn't read UMD's, then you did this to yourself.

There are ways to fix it, but they require a steady hand.

When you look into the UMD drive, on your left hand side, do you see a small, bending piece of white plactic?

Sure do, I tried holding it down with the drive open, but the laser didn't move.

I'm well aware that I've done this to myself, and I didn't fully expect to be able to fix it, but it would be nice if I could.

If you held the plastic down, then the drive is dead. You can either buy a new drive, or live off of .iso's.

How much does a new UMD drive go for?

$25-$30 USD, if you know wheree to look. Installation is VERY, VERY difficult for a newbie, so I don't recommend it. But, if you are deadset on buying UMD's, it may cost you another $20-$30 to get it professionally installed. I say just buy the games and download the ISO (Which is legal, btw, since you own the license to play the game by purchasing.)

True, true.
As long as no soldering is involved, I'm pretty confident I can do it, but I don't think I will. Too much money, and as you said, I can just use an ISO loader.
