Ello. My PSP won't read UMDs. The loading
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.

My PSP doesn't seem to read the UMD's I put in...no icon shows up under the game symbol on the mian menu...please shed some ligt on this for me. thanks
make sure the UMD is not dirty or scratch or damage in any way. make sure the lens is clean. if your psp is able to read other UMD's then it would mean that the UMD is damaged. if PSP is not able to read other UMD's then you would need to get the lens replaced.

My psp works fine but it does not read the cassette when insert
It could be one of two different issues causing the PSP to not read discs.

1. A worn out umd drive -- it happens, especially with time. The following website will replace the umd drive with a brand new one for only $59 which is way less than the cost of a PSP

http://www.richspsxparts.com/forms/umdlensreplaceform.html

2. There is either 1 or 2 motherboard sensors that let the PSP know that a game is inside and the door is closed. One of both of these could be broken off which would cause a game not to load. If you sent your PSP to repair at the website above, they will tell you if this is the problem.

You need a new UMD Drive.

Pick one up on ebay, or from another online source.

Psp not reading disks
One of two things:

1.Your UMDs are scratched or broken
2.Your PSP lens are malfunctioning

I suggest getting a different UMD, or, if the problem persists, replace the lens on your PSP.

Psps does load any discs
Ok Crowd,

All of you need to send your PSP off for repair. The UMD drives not reading is common fault of the PSP and the drive will need to be replaced. The power on Problem is possiblly a defective motherboard. They can be repaired.

Click on "Repair Directory" at the bottom of this screen. Then select "Video Game Consoles" on the next screen. Pick a good REpair shop that has experience in repairing PSP's. Ask them if they know what a UMD is. Then Ask them if they have ever replaced a UMD drive. If so they know what they are doing. Find a good price

Sony PSP wont play umd
Same with my PSP. My son accidentally broken a spring sensor for the UMD when you close the UMD cover of the PSP. That's why the drive doesn't recognize if there's a UMD. Sony Service Center here in the Philippines doesn't have a replacement part for this.
