UMD's not loading?

ok this is my lil bro's problem and i'm trying to figure it out for him...
i can load emus, devhook, ect. but when i try a UMD it just shows the loading circle in the bottom left corner of the screen, also when i hard restart it the XMB doesn't load up but the background is there and when i open the door the XMB pops up so i know it's not a brick
any sugestions?

ohh yeh 1.5 fw(not custom), other than upgrading to 2.0(for GTA) and downgrading from 2.0 to 1.5 it hasn't been flashed

I don't know man, this is the same thing that happened to my first psp....and is still that way. Good for homebrew though.

i have heard of this before somewere try updating then downgrading it again

ok will do

that didn't work for me, and i updated to every firmware that could be downgraded.

Could be a laser problem.

Yeah whoever thought it was a good idea to use a disc format in a handheld is pretty stupid.
