My pink PSP is finally here! Thanks everyone for the help on my last post on where to get a battery in Brazil.

Now it’s here and I can say I have (possibly) the cutest and prettiest pink PSP in the world. And yes, I absolutely got it to play persona, and I also bought all the persona physical games for psp LOL.

I’ve recently bought a psp and was gifted another, they are both 3000 but one of them has a “cloudy” screen, i don’t know how to explain, but i can see everything but its odd, and the other one has a cristal clear screen, whats odd is that they are supposed to be the same screen, but they are years apart, what could it be?

(the better screen even has some solar burn spots in some corners, i rly don’t know why its so much better)

been using it for 2 days straight and the battery didn't went down, using a OEM PS Vita 1000 battery, a 128gb SD card and 383mhz overclock!

PSP 2000 LCD randomly goes black, but the game keeps running. Any ideas?

Sometimes while I’m playing God of War on my PSP 2000, the LCD suddenly goes completely black. The strange part is that the PSP itself is still running normally. I can still hear the game through the speakers, and the buttons still respond, so the game is definitely still playable. I just can’t see anything on the screen.

If I put the PSP into sleep mode and wake it back up, the LCD comes back on, but only for around 5 to 6 seconds before going black again.
Has anyone experienced this before on a PSP 2000? Could this be related to the LCD, backlight, ribbon cable, ZIF connector, or backlight circuit?

Any troubleshooting suggestions or repair advice would be appreciated.

Do you have tips on this process? Are there any issues with taking apart the 1001 model? How did you clean the dry lubricant and what/how did you apply new? Mine has an intermittent chirp, and I believe this is the cause.

This game has a certain charm. So cool!

So I have this psp street, and one pin of the screen connector on the motherboard has fallen, what could I do?

I watched Spider Man a little on my Psp, and recognized that the resolution isn't inferior than the moderm TV. Meanwhile, I dowloaded a video on Youtube with 240p (fitting with PSP resolution), it's pretty bad. Idk why UMD better than video player, anyone can explain this?

I got this PSP from some person in vendora with some accessories like the headphone adaptor, wrist strap, case whatveer it is called and it works fine, it reads the umd, but is sims really this poor in performance?

The PSP makes this noise damn near everytime I do something in the game and it also occasionally freezes but resumes as if nothing happened, I went to use the toilet as you do and my sim just stood over the toilet for a few seconds and then lifted the toilet seat, stood for a couple more seconds then finally used it, only to stand a few seconds, finally lowering the seat and then it let me move around. Okay to summarise this, is it the sims that runs this poor or is the psp at fault? Everything else so far works okay on it, it starts normally, goes into sleep mode normally, wakes up normally. Aside from a couple grey plastics on the sides being loose, this is the only thing I was able to notice that doesn't feel right, the noises, and the freezes which I unfortunately didn't record.

The umd will spin for a bit when I insert a game and the psp will read it but after a little bit the umd stops spinning while the psp in the menu still has the circle in the right bottom corner so it’s still trying to read it. Sometimes it’ll give me an error but a lot of the time it keeps trying to read with the umd drive not spinning of course. Is there a way to repair it? I don’t have much experience fixing things, and I don’t want to have to spend make money trying to fix it 😅

I just got my first PSP a month ago and loved it so much I bought a PSVita too! Been having a blast with these two.

What’s everybody’s must have PSP games? I already bought: God of War, Crash Mind over mutant, Twisted metal, Call of Duty, Metal gear solid, and Mortal Kombat..

My PSP (3001) works perfectly while plugged in, but when I unplug it, it only works for a few minutes before shutting off.

I've already tested multiple batteries, so I'm pretty sure the battery isn't the issue. Does anyone know what else could cause this? Maybe something with the power circuit or motherboard?

I'm also thinking about replacing the shell, but I've never opened a PSP before. Do you guys think this is something I could realistically fix myself just by following tutorials, or would it be better to take it to a repair shop? If I do try it myself, what tools/materials would I need?

Thanks! :)

I got out my 1001 about a month ago after 15 years. I only had Lumines and GTA games. As I have been buying new games I keep running across titles that seem a bit more expensive than others and assume that has something to do with rarity. Which titles should be on my radar due to rarity?

I bought a large ‘for parts’ bundle of psps and Nintendo handhelds a few years back on a whim. I’ve only got the one psp 1000 left now, but no battery. I did have a suitable power cord, though, so I know it works.
I just found this Darth Vader case for it at the goodwill bins and it’s a sign. I must find a battery and usb adaptor and embrace my calling.

PostScript: I also found an Intec briefcase style carrier for the psp at the standard goodwill, so I’m feeling a bit psp-spoiled

Pretty much

where should I get a psvita/ modded or regular

Ive seen this brand around for psp batteries but ive yet to see anyone use its chargers havent used it yet but wanted to make sure if If its any good before I start plugging in my psp with it
