Hi The UMD icon is not showing on the PSP screen. Please help

Hi there. Try doing this;
1. Turn off your PSP (long press switch). 2. Press and hold "R" while switching on your PSP and you'll boot into Recovery Menu 3. Scroll down to "UMD Mode" and press "X" until the value changes to "S0NY NP9600" 4. Go back and exit to boot your PSP in game mode...
I hope this helped...

the umd icon does not show on my psp?

it could be a problem with the inside mechanisms of the UMD dock. Better make sure that the insides are clean and free of dirt or small particles.

Usually when the psp starts loading up it will make a loading up noise if you don't hear this its because your UMD driver is malfunctioning

?????

This could be a very simple problem. I have seen so many PSP's with this problem. There is something stuck in the gears that move the PSP left to right. Most of the time it is a plastic piece that breaks off the door hinge. If you are good at taking electronics apart, you can do this in 10 minutes.

i also heard you could hit it and sound would go away.
and i heard loading the firmware also gets rid of the sound.

Hi Goodhelper,

Check the UMD for any kind of foriegn obstruction. You can use a pencil with an eraser to psin the UMD manually. Do this to check to be sure the UMD is not scrubbing or sticking inside its case. Try a different UMD to see if its the UMD or the UMD drive inside your PSP.

If you find it is the PSP. Services listed with Fixya can repair your PSP. Click on "REpair Directory" at the bottom of this screen. In the next screen, Click on "Video Game Consoles". Pick a good PSP repair service.

I think the lens might have died permanantely, or maybe just it's temporary. I've also had the same problem, and one time I turned it on, it started working again. Wait about a day and see if it still happens.
