PSP Issues

[EddieBreaks10]

So last christmas, my dad asked me what I wanted for christmas, and I said a PSP. And well, he got me one. Of course, before the PSP started having problems, I loved it. I really enjoyed playing it. But its been having lots of problems lately. Here are some of the major problems:

 

1) The PSP does not read UMDs.

The PSP no longer reads my games. When id turn it on, it would immediately say "Could not read disc". The PSP won't even read the disc for a second. It just immediately gives me the error message.

 

2) The PSP does not power off correctly

Sometimes, (most of the time) the PSP does not shut down correctly. I would push up the power button switch, but the little green Power light keeps flashin on and off. I have to hold down the power button for it to stop.

 

3) The PSP does not start up correctly

This has just recently happened. The PSP does not initiate the proper way. The PSP turns on, and it says "SONY ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM", and after that, the screen stays blank.

 

Those are the major problems so far. Right now I need to know if this is fixable, and if it is, please, let me know how I can fix it. I really want my PSP back to the way it was. And the worst part is that my dad didn't order any kind of warranty, so we can't return it or get it fixed. Please help!

I doubt many people here have much PSP experience as this site is primarily dedicated to PC modded games. You would probably get better results on a site that handles more PSP type problems instead.

 

However, I may be wrong and maybe we do have some PSP experts that can help.

Well since this is a Hardware discussion, I think this is the best place to post it. I'm justg trying to get some answers. At least to know if it can work or not, so I can be sure.
