    My kids PSP won't play games, no UMD icon appears in the option display

  • mpbell Nov 21, 2007

    My son-freaking out because his "best friend these days" was broken-went into a fit so we went to a local game store and asked the salesman. He tested another game in it and got it to work. He also exchanged the problem game for us. He said that we should never charge the PSP with the memory stick or a game in it. It can cause problems with the PSP and ruin the game itself. I appreciate the comments. Hope this helps someone.

PSP screen frozen

For this u got to reset ur psp. The easiest way to reset the PSP is to do a hard-reset. This means holding the power switch in the up position for around ten seconds. This will then shut off the PSP. You may then need to flick the power button either once or twice for the device to come back on. 
The hard reset method is normally sufficient to bring the PSP back to life and resume use, although it may mean you lose your place in the game you were playing.
The alternative to the hard reset is to drop the battery out of the PSP. While I don’t really recommend this, sometimes a hard-reset will fail and this is your only option. To do this, simply drop the battery out of the PSP by sliding the cover open, and then wait for a few seconds. Pop the battery back in and fire up the PSP. Hopefully all will be well.
cheers

The laser inside of the PSP broke so now none of my games will play

Two options Repair or Replace
If repairing goto
www.us.playstation.com to find a repair center.

Replacing buy a new PSP from Best Buy, Circuit City or some place that offers a warrenty and get the warrenty.

I did this with my sons DS and @ 19 months his screen went out and Best Buy replaced it with a new system.

PSP

When the football hit the psp, it could have knocked some hardware out of place, possibly on the motherboard. If you know what you are doing, you could open up the PSP and re attach the piece, or find someone who knows how to fix it.

PSP won't power on

When you play a new game for the first time, the psp checks for the firmware version of your psp. If a newer version is available, the disc will require you to update your psp. If you do not update the game cannot be played. If you update, you MUST charge the battery 1st. Then, you must have the charge plugged in and allow the update to run uninterrupted. If you remove the game or unplug the charger during the update the bios chip will be ruined and you now have little more than a "brick".
When this happens, the unit completely locks up and has to be replaced. Basically, it corrupts the operating system and there is no ability to restore default settings as a back-up.

The play game icon not showing on his PSP

Is there a disc in the drive? If so, it sounds like your UMD drive (or disc) is damaged. Does it only happen with one game or with all your son's games?
