My psp cannot connect via usb mode

Hi rupasam,

Based on your concern, I suggest trying the following steps:

1. Before you plug it in make sure the PSP is in USB connect mode.
--> Also make sure the Memory Stick PRO Duo has been formatted for PSP. If it's not this is how you do it:
On the main menu, scroll all the way left to the "Settings" menu. Then select "System Settings." Then scroll to "Format Memory Stick" and press X.
2. Connect the PSP to your PC with a USB cable.
3. Press the "home" button on the PSP
--> at the lower left of the screen you can see the home button.
4. Use the left-right directional buttons to find "Settings", then the up-down buttons to find "USB Connection" on the PSP.
5. Press the "X" button, your PSP should display "USB Connection".
6. Please wait until your computer tells you that a new USB device has been connected, then show you a new generic hard drive, usually E: or F:
7. Click on the drive letter that corresponds to the PSP unit.

Hope it helps,

Thank you for using FixYa.

This error usually comes when you use usb cable to connect the phone to pc . Please try to unplug the cable and plugin the USB cable to another port and try via pc suite to connect to internet. If still it is not working try to connect on another pc via same USB cable to phone. If you are getting the same error still then this means the USB cable is damaged then change the USB cable and you can connect to PC. If USB cable works with other pc then reinstall pc suite or try connecting by creating dial up connection.

Hook up your Sony PSP to your computer via a USB cable. Turn on the PSP and put it in "USB CONNECT " mode (it should display the words "USB CONNECT" on the PSP display during the entire time you're transferring files, and plug it in if you don't have a fully charged battery).

1. Connect the PSP to the PC with your USB lead.
2. If the PSP doesn't automatically go into USB mode then scroll left and enter USB mode.
3. On your PC you should have a window pop up with a list of options, choose to explore folders in windows explorer.
4. Open the PSP folder, then Music.
5. Copy and paste whatever mp3s you want into this folder.
6. ???
7. Profit!

do a full power off on the PSP, ie hold the power button for 5 seconds until it properly turns off. a short slide of the power button only puts it in standby mode.

also (on the PSP) check under Settings > USB Auto Connect (ON) - ensure this is enabled. makes it easy to connect USB with this turned on. but you need an up to date firmware on the PSP for this setting.

still no go?
try and restart the computer and plug the PSP back in once you have your desktop up.

You have to have your psp on when you connect it, then you have to go to where it says USB and select that for it to connect

Try reformatting the memory stick. If that does not work he can try to connect just the memory stick it self ( may need an adapter) to the mac and formatting it there. Other wise you may need a driver for the PSP.

try to use another usb connector cable with your psp. It has some lost connection...maybe the data connector is loose. USB has 4 pin(pc side) the voltage supply for power and the data pin..just try.. if it doesnt work...checked if your in admin account because some hardware cant be installed if your not the admin of the pc.

do u have a usb cable if you do connect your usb cable with psp then connect it to your ps3

Try to use a memory stick card reader and connect to your computer instead !!
