Umd Holder!

[carlitx]

Ya my psp isnt even a year old yet and the UMD holder is screwing up. Now it still works fine but its popping out on one side, so it is not level with the rest of the psp's back:( any one know if i can fix this? without sony's help!

[weirdelf]

Mine does that too

[Gold Line]

so dose mine dam you sony

[Shrygue]

Likewise - in fact my 4th one was like that when I bought it first hand from the store 3 months ago. Ridiculous!

[Triv1um]

Mine has ever since i brought it.

I thought it was normal? lol

[Shrygue]

My 5th and 6th ones are in line with the back of the unit. Maybe I was just plain unlucky to land up with a bent one as this problem should not be happening. :(

[UchihaSasuke]

Mines is almost popping on one side and this is getting me mad because after all the money is defective

[carlitx]

ok so neone nknow how to cure it?

[Triv1um]

I cant see there been a way.

I have just had a look at mine, and the hook is at the right side of the umd tray. (when the screen is facing me)

So when it trys to spring back, there is more flex at the left hand side.

By the looks of it, the only way is putting the hook (claw thing) in the middle.

mines messed up too. but worres. every 5 minutes it pops open and the UMD pops out. its pisses me off. i tryed to fix it by tappiing it hard. that didnt work. so i bent it back in place and that only lasted 3 days. if anyone can find the cure for the bent UMD TRAY, please tell use.

i know how to fix it
theres two thing it may happened:
one is that probably a leg that holds that section is broken OR it is missplaced
a way to fix it is the following:
1.-check for any defects on the area, if there is... good for you XD
2.- dissassemble the system (take out the screen the home buttons, and the skeleton(the metal part thingy)
3.- once doing that you can visibly see the legs from the side, if one of the legs is broken, ha! too bad... its gonna be like that until you buy one (if you live in new york city.... go to china town for spare parts... like me he he XD)
4.-if there ok, tkae it out for further inspection...
i cant give you further instructions on how to take it out but i can send you the link on how to:

5.- put it back in and presto.. its fixed...
it was helpful?

[carlitx]

well thnx for the help but im not that fussy on ruining my warenty by opening up and more than likely breaking the system i think ill goto wallmart as planed before...so some one wanna answer my above questions?

[acn010]

to be honest...... why the warrenty? its tons of bull crap, you can fix your psp on your own without any help of no one....
if you want spare parts go to divineo.com... pretty much cheap and trusted, i buy spare parts for people on that site and they have good things...
so its just stupid to GET A NEW PSP WITH THE LATEST MOTHERBOARD AND FIRMWARE
XD

[carlitx]

yes i agree that it is stupid to get new psp. but im not good with taking these things apart and i am strictly not allowed to order off the net. so please answer my questions above.

My psp always scratches the case (near laser cutout) of the umd when i take them out, so it sucks if i'm renting a game or if i want to resell it the store managers won't accept the game because it has "damage". The little bit of sticking out is not a big deal becuase i usually play it in the logitech case.

if you wan't a cure, i doubt there is one, because the tray itself is incredibly poorly designed(being held together with a barely visible peice of sheetmetal), but if you are in need of a cheap ass fix, then you could always use duct tape...

Or if you want the much harder and more rtime consuming way to do things: If you can take it apart you can always take out the metal clip that holds the umd tray closed, and make an exact replica only thicker so it doesn't bend as easily, and fit it in that spot..

[carlitx]

ya i was just to wallmart and they wont replace it:@ stupid fukin crap is all it is, it still got the one year warrenty on it cause only bought it in augest but they wont cause they are fukin gay! so im not sending it to sony so im gonna try to get a better metal clip for it and take it apart myself....

oh ya thnx dud great help right there man and that video..AMAZING!!! haha im so ****ing sarcastic that never helped me at all now i have to visual only sound...should of let sony fix it...

[redhotchilimando]

that happened to my psp too, if you look up guides to open up your psp, what you have to do is unscrew the lcd screen holder in your psp, and then put it back in place, trying to move it as left as you can. that's how i fixed mine

here's a pic:

so, you unscrew it, then wiggle it in so it closes right
