Broken/Malfunctioning Analog Stick Problems? Post Here for HELP!

[HAMMIEZ]

erm... i fixed the analog moving problem (seems to send false signals to games (eg. in gta you keep running in a circle even though youre not touching the analog stick)) by rotating it in a circle continually during coldboot - this seems to recalibrate it.

EDIT: the problem occured after opening the psp to replace the motherboard

i have got the same problem and i use 3.03OE-C
I think it's a software bug, because when i start it, it moves just like it's supposed to. but when i press the "left" button, above the analog stick, it start to move very slow when i try to move to right and when i move to left it acts normal. I tested this in the web browser. when i go to 'stand by' and then back to browser it is normal again, untill i press the left button above the analog stick.

lets see what happens when i upgrade to 3.40OE-A


i hope some recognizes this situation.

Hi very recently my analog stick has been malfunctioning.

Basically, lets pretend that there are 2 levels of sensitivity, 50% and 100% (i know its more accurate but to make this easier to explain)

When i push my analog stick fully in the downwards direction, it goes 100% down. The same goes for right, down-right, and down-left.

When i push my analog stick fully in the upwards direction, it only goes 50% up. Left, up-left also have this lack of sensitivity.

If i move the analog stick halfway upwards or left, it does not respond at all.

So to summarise, down and right direction work fine, left and up do not respond as they should.

I'm hoping that this will be a relatively easy fix with some mechanism thats clicked out of place. Any help will be appreciated, and thanks in advance

if it 'feels' ok while u move it, its probably not a mechanical problem - try rotating it continually while the psp boots (NOT coming out of sleep mode)

rotating on cold boot helped mine

I am having a problem with my psp where it is doing the " its moving in one direction by itself...". Also, the cursor will move fast to the same direction, right, but only will move slow in all other directions. Looking for a little help on what I might be able to fix it. Thanks, Brakenrun

Ok i went from 1 problem to a worse one, the original problem was my psp thought the L-button was always pressed down, so I opened my psp up and swabbed where the L-buttion is connected to the motherboard w/ rubbing alchohol on a cotton ball. Now that I have that fixed my analog stick is centered and my cursor/camera is always spinning. It is going down and to the right all the time!!! I dont know what little rubber piece your talking about either. Is it supposed to look like the one under the L-Button??? if so i dont have 1......
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!
