I had that problem once using in that time the 3.10 OE-A ( not OE-A´). The only thing i know it happened was when i was playing, and my battery exausted once. I put it to recharge, and go to bed, in the next morning, i turned on my PSP and my UMD drive stoped work.
Always when i turn my PSP on, the reading icon appears, the drive spins and nothing, or appears " Disc can not be read" or my PSP locks up.
I send it to repair, they exchanged the UMD drive, and still doenst worked. So i asked to put my old drive again.
Now the trick.
Everyone knows there is a little delay when you turn on the PSP using the OE firmware. It´s loading the 1.50 bootstrap.
1st - Disable the UMD auto loading from System Settings and TURN OFF the PSP
2nd - Open your drive with the disk inside
3rd - Turn on the PSP - when it is in the black screen ( before SCE logo), close the UMD door. It´s tricky because it is only timing. If it doesnt works, repeat the steps again.
After the disc appears in the XMB, everything works perfectly and you don´t need do that again. I don´t know why it happened, or why, but it worked.
After that you can turn on the UMD loading if you wish.
PS: Sorry for the bad english, that´s not my primary language.
