Psp 3003 will not load game, small icon in the bottom right hand corner falshing then says can not load disk, any ideas

Needs a new laser

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

had similar problem, try turning auto read off in menu and clicking on game icon instead

this same thing happened to me. insert a game and see if it will show th eloading icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screen if it dose then your umd drive is messed up. if you insert a game and nothing happenes then your motherboard is messed up. which ever one is mesed up it still invloves taking it apart its jsut a matter of what. find a video on youtube that teaches youhow to take apart your perticulart model of psp. and its pretty mucgh self explanitory from there take it apart and switch out the messed up hardware. remember im not responsible for anything that mite happen to you or the psp

yup laser is done. direct replacement part # is KEM-400AAA if sent to sony the flat rate will be around 180. sucks i know. i sent mine in but it comes back with a little warranty. repairing yourself is pretty hard ive done it. hope that helps.

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.

Upgrade

The circle in the lower right hand corner of the PSP screen is showing that a disc is being read. I would say take out any discs you're using and try to run things directly off of the memory card. I'm not going to dive into anything else, because Custom Firmware on the PSP is a tricky situation that you really shouldn't be asking about on FixYa.com.

conect your psp to you pc/lap top and find a default setting for your psps this are just like other peoples psp saved dater try that look on game sites and console cheats sites

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
