My little cousin dropped his psp in some water. We put in rice and everything, it works and all but theres just one really annoying problem. He got a new game, birth by sleep, and in the game play the camera spins around like the camera button is being pushed without actually being pushed. I'm really trying to not send it to sony for repairs. its like the left trigger button is jammed and it affects the game play ALOT!!!! fml we need to figure this out!! please help, i'm on my hands and knees begging!!!

If you put it in water, immediately shut the phone off, pull the battery, sim card (if applicable) and put everything in a bowl of white rice for a few days. The white rice should remove the device enough so everything should be usable.
I've also heard that immediately freezing the phone works too, your choice.

Depending on how significant the water damage is, you may be able to fix this problem rather simply.

1) Open the disc tray
2) Remove cover and battery
3) Bury all components in a bowl of DRY rice overnight
4) Reassemble the PSP

The rice will have absorbed most of the water. This is a good first thing to do to ANY electronics which may have water damage. If this does not fix the PSP, it may have to be sent back to the manufacturer for repairs.

Do not turn on the phone again before taking out all moisture. Take out the battery, sim card, etc. You will need to wrap in newspaper each, the phone and battery and then put in the rice container and wait at least 24 hrs. I hope this helps!

I also dropped my Samsung Impression in the toilet, I immediately took the phone took the protective case off, took the battery cover off, and took the battery and my SIM card out and towel dried it as best as I could. Then I sat it on the floor next to my fan and let it dry until I got to my grandparents a little while later and I put it in a bowl of rice, completely covered the phone and battery with rice and left it sit overnight in the rice and all of the next day, so far i've had it on about 20 minutes and have had no problems with it so far, another solution is to sit it in the sun, to further dry it out. Water damage will void warranties on your phone and battery and your provider will know instantly if the damage was water related when they take your battery cover off, there is a small square sticker that when dry and hasn't touched water should be white, but as soon as it comes into contact with water it turns red, there is also one of these stickers on the battery. My stickers were red and after sitting in the rice they look like they got lighter in color considerably, I don't know if that is really possible but appearance wise it looks that way. I hope this helps anyone who has had this problem. Good Luck!

PSP games are easy to mess up if it dropped in water ya its probably gonna be messed up but if it didn't its just really dirty in the inside of the little case the game is in.

Fill the bottom to the line with water. Put two cups of rice in the top and two cups of water. Put on stove top on high until lower water is boiling, turn to medium heat. For white rice check after about 20 minutes, if water is assorbed and rice is tender, fluff with a fork...eat. If it needs a few more minutes of cooking, no problem.
Brown rice will take about 45 minutes.
I have used my stove top cooker for at least 35 years...ordered it with box top and some money from Comet Rice.

*Sigh*...

yeh, borrow the charger off your neighbour, see if the PSP works or not, probably not!

I recommend you to buy a new PSP, PSPs ain't waterproof! LOL

If it was plain water (and not salt water) then leftover moisture/condensation may be causing the problem. Try this... it sounds really wacky but it often works: put your PSP in a box full of uncooked rice, completely covering the PSP on all sides. Leave it in the rice for a good 12-24 hours. The rice wicks away the moisture inside sensitive electronics.

Try putting one cup of uncooked rice to one cup of water (rather than a cup and a half of water). Also, to keep the rice white longer, you can add a few drops of white vinegar to the rice and water mixture before you turn it on. Hope this helps!
