Directional Button and L Button Problem and another problem.

Uhm. Hello. I need help.

It started last week when I was playing a game in my PSP. Suddenly, when I pressed the 'HOME' button and the menu shows up I press the directional button but it didn't move. So I thought that it might be just too much use of PSP problem so I removed the battery and put it back on and started to play a new game, in my game, in one menu which is asking the name of the character there, I had a problem typing it because I can't, something is wrong with the directional buttons and the confirmation button and I hear a sound and the sound is like a typing which is very fast. And there, I could not play the game too because during the game, the surroundings just keep on spinning instead of staying put plus the messages of the characters are too fast. I don't know what to do.

And my L button, I think it is loose since when I played a music and when the L button is for back it could not go back.

Please help me.

- My directions buttons are not working in the games that I play. They do work when I'm on the reagular home screen. Everytime I try to play a game, I can't because the character only moves in one direction. When I try to move the character....the character moves and when I stop the character, it automatically goes to the same direction. I would like to fix this problem. and yes, I have taken out the battery counted to 30 seconds and placed it back in...still the characters move only in one direction.- socorrea87

I think there might be a problem with your configuration, remove all plugin then try to restore to default setting on setting menu. and/or if your psp installed Custom firmware, the umd speed are set to fast. do this via recovery menu (hold R trigger while turn on psp). you may need to fix L button if it is stuck. you may consoder sending it back to Sony for repair.You can call SONY support at 1-800-345-7669. hope this helps.

I have the same problem, figured it out today, it's definitely something wrong with your L trigger or R trigger, find a working psp, and hold the L or R while pressing home button in a running game, you will find that you won't be able to use direction key to select yes or no.

Look for professional help if you are not confident enough to repair that yourself. Good luck!
