Cannot load umd games

Most likely the laser is weak. It has been awhile since I have changed a laser in a psp. But first off you should clean the laser with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol and dry it with the other end of the q-tip. It doesn't take much for them to not be able to read a disc. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace the laser if you aren't that great at working on electronics or very small things you need to find someone to do it for you.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/benjamin_494963e790f97efb

its cause the game probably is kind of scratch or the laser lens its damage or its dirty. the noise its normal because its trying to read the disc.

Your UMD drive needs to be replaced... This part can be purchased from places like risingsonltd.com and psp-hacks.com

Is this happening with every UMD? If so the laser has gone bad. Google tutorials on how to replace it or have it replaced.

it might be that your lens that reads the psp is dirty so it cant read them

I think the it is possible your UMD case is cracked and the clear part is pressing down on the disc inside. Check and pull the clear part of the case from the media disc.

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

Hmmm... well i think its because its thea game or something or that you need to clean the PSP because when you open the UMD drive dust could fly in there or the UMDs might have dust inside and attract more dust but your able to play games right?

You might have PSP stop reading UMD discs, First you will do some trouble shooting with what might be wrong with your PSP unit.

first is the Disc Spinning motor. This will not let The disc in the UMD spin. On a working PSP you will hear the disc start to spin up, then you can hear the laser start to twitch, followed by the laser motor moving the laser down the rails.

2nd is something stuck in the UMD gear, try to clean the gear of arm of dust, plastic, soda, and even hair.

and at the last is the actual laser itself. It will not focus the laser to read the UMD disc.

Hopefully this help, Pls post back should you need additional information...!

Can you hear the UMD's spin? Sounds like the lens may be dirty or damaged. Do not try to wipe off the lens. I recommend trying a can or compresses air.
