    Another symptom that I'm not sure if is related, if I put a UMD in the drive, it does not recognize at all (no UMD option appears in the Game menu).

    Could the problem be caused by a bad UMD drive?

    pt9087, when you say brown tape, do you mean the brown ribbon cable that connects the UMD to the PSP?



    Also, where can I find this IDstorage Checker you speak of? I tried googling it but came up empty.
    I got the same thing on my slim psp. I have noticed that this helps. Get that fatsmod patch thingy and disable the boot screen. For whatever reason that seems to help. Also if you're freezing when trying to leave recovery go into usb and delete the config file in your seplugins folder. I know its weird but that seems to work sometimes. I have found no real solution at this point.

    EDIT: I also get these "symptoms". Sometimes upon boot no icons load. I can access the select menu but nothing else. Also when in a game and resuming from standby the game will freeze but not in a normal way. I cant do anything but I can still hit home and select yes to quit.

    Its like the psp is looking for a game to read but not finding it. Games will only boot if it can read a umd in the slot. If its not wanting to see the umd im screwed.

    EDIT2: Heres what I have tried.
    Firmware update
    Pandora downgrade
    Booting with umd slot opened
    No UMD
    Different MS
    and pretty much every setting combo you can imagine in recovery.

    Ive had issues like these before... it could be many things however all the ones ive come across were because the ribbon connecting the umd drive to the psp got burned. it would still read umds and sound normal just wouldnt be able to play them ( or would lock up the psp )

    if your psp has already gone past its crapy sony warrentee then open your psp and check the ribbion and see if it got burnt.

    ill upload a example picture of what i mean in a moment so you know what to look for

    Thanks for Everything,
    PSPdemon

    edit: heres the image.



    edit2: just thought id bring this up... this is a PSP-1000 drive, not the PSP-2000 drive... im just giving this as a example of A.) what you should look for and B.) what the possible problem is.

    i havent heard yet of any slim model umd drives burning out like this however i figured that since it happened on the 1000...it probably will happen on the 2000

    Mine is a slim and my ribbon looks fine.. It's just odd that these problems come and go. I don't know what the variable is!

    I felt I should update this. I got the newest pandora (8) and backed up my nand then made new idstorage with the pandora and it seems to have fixed some of the problems. It still has a hard time reading umd's but eboots seem to be booting fine.
