I have a drifting issue with my analogue stick, it occasionally moves without my input. But also, when I use the d-pad, it also causes the same issue. I'm thinking something inside may displaced itself but I wouldn't know where to start to fix it.

This is probably a common complaint, but any help you can give would be greatfully accepted.

Umm yeah.
so my psp slims analog nub started wandering up constantly.
so i bought a new one and replaced it
well less than a week later it broke again and started wandering to the left.
ive tried multiple times swapping the old analog nub out for the new one and vice a versa but still yeilds the same results.
im growing tired of loosing and having to order new screws constantly too. and sadly im pretty much about ready to just buy a new one off ebay so i can hack it again.
the old nub seems to be locked to going up.
while the other one drifts to the right.
i cant play anyhing anymore hardly.
any suggestions? or should i just get a new one like ive been thinking

This problem may have already been posted, but couldn't find it in here.

I'm having trouble playing games with my analog stick. Kratos (All i have right now is God of War for my PSP and some demos) is stuck running towards the left of the screen, though I can still move in other directions, thought it is much more difficult and can only move as fast as a walk. I opened up my PSP and took apart the analog stick, cleaned it, and put it back together correctly and the problem still persists. How do I fix this so I can actually play my game?

**Edit: I've tried both the system information and in-game recalibration trick, but it doesn't seem to work at all. My software is updated and there are no other problems with the PSP. This 'drifting' problem also occurs in the web brower when I have it open.

Hello,
My analog is broken. im not sure exactly what happend. i look and i think the insides are messed up. Not sure really what to do. I was messing around with it to see if i could fix it, some things i noticed. The analog is never in straight or securly. And when the game was in pause the courser just went up and up. and sometimes i could stop it but it would start again.

first, open up the psp. take off the faceplate, and put the rest of the psp on the side as you wont be doing anything to that.

unscrew the 2 screws that hold the analog stick in. so now, you have just the analog stick by itself.

on the back, there is a metal clasp, which is held by 2 notches on each side of the analog stick (see below picture). carefully use a flathead and pop the metal holder off by popping each of the four locks out from the side. once done, take off the metal piece.

now, the green circuit board comes off very easily from the rest of the analog stick. it is held down by 4 pieces of plastic which do not unscrew or move...simply wiggle it out. remember which way the contacts are facing!

now, there are 3 pieces of plastic on the inside. following my pictures below, re-place them inside the analog stick, making sure the center of each is lined up with the stick protruding through the center. also note where the gold contacts are on the remaining 2 pieces of plastic in the picture below.

you can test your analog stick before putting it all back together by holding the plastic pieces with your thumb and just making sure that the analog stick is correctly moving all of the pieces inside of it.

once thats good, put the green board back on, put the metal back on, screw it back into the faceplate and close it up!

should be fixed!

again, check the pics i attached!

hope this helps ^_^

do all these images apply to fat psp and slim or just one of them?

Yeah I'm having the same exact problem. Even if I remove my analog stick, it still finds a way to move left and up. It gets really annoying whenever I'm playing worms or miami vice.
