PSP 3000: analog stick stops working when left button ribbon cable is connected

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 13:29:57 -0700

I’m repairing a PSP-3004 and I’ve run into a strange issue.

When the left button ribbon cable is disconnected, the analog stick works perfectly. As soon as I connect the ribbon cable and lock the ZIF connector, the D-pad works normally, but the analog stick stops controlling movement. For example, in GTA the camera still rotates, but the character won’t walk.

I’ve already:

reseated all ribbon cables multiple times;
cleaned the analog stick, the ribbon cables and motherboard connectors with isopropyl alcohol;
inspected the ribbon cable and connectors for visible damage.

The analog stick works every time the left button ribbon is disconnected, which is why I’m confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PSP 3000: PSP turns on with green light but screen doesn't light up

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:04:20 -0700

I didn't start my PSP up for a very long while (at least a year or two) and when I tried to power it on, the battery was (quite obviously) dead and I had to borrow it from my friend because my charger is missing, but when I tried to start it up, what I stated in the question title happened and the battery is most likely to be fine as my friend's PSP could start properly with this battery.

Thank you for answering.

Case closed, the screen might be a cause, but I think the real culprit is most likely defects of motherboard. I probably didn't store the PSP properly and the the motherboard probably got a bit oxidized at somewhere that we don't want it to happen. Anyway I'm off for a second hand one and put my old friend on a display shelve.

PSP 1000: My PSP 1001 won't power on

Sat, 25 Jul 2026 03:56:17 -0700

Hi, I have a PSP 1001 from when it came out. Is a really old device but it was working some years ago, I remember modding it and play on it without issues. I abandoned it and recently I wanted to boot it up again but it just doesn't turn on. If I plug in a charger it doesn't turn on any LED, with or without a battery. I tried the following:

1. I measured if the charger was inputing the right voltage to the device and it does. It receives 5V
2. I checked the power fuse, it is not blown out
3. I changed the flex cable that connect the power switch board to the main board. It didn't changed anything

Some note is that if I press the connector where the flex cable of the power switch board connect to, the LED faintly turns on and I was suspecting the flex cable was faulty but maybe I was just shorting some pins. (When I opened up to check if something was wrong, this flex cable was disconnected from the power switch board)

I don't know if it has a similar behavior as with the DS that if a flex cable is not connected properly it won't boot or if using a new battery will help aswell (I doubt it as when the charger is connected it doesn't do anything)

If someone can help me troubleshoot it will be appreciated, I really want to bring it back to life as it gives me a lot of nostalgia.

PSP E1000: My PSP has no sign of life

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:07:31 -0700

Hi I have had this psp for like a year now and it was basically in near new condition. But one day when I had it on charge it was over heating and I don’t think I turn it off properly (left it on rest mode) and so I quickly disconnected it BUT now it won’t turn on. The charger works and the battery has power too (Checked both with an Electrometer) but it just doesn’t turn on. The LED doesn’t flash and neither does the screen. Is my PSP dead or what could be the issue?

Hello, my PSP Hello, my PSP E1000 didn't turn on, so I took it apart and noticed that with the battery inserted when I press the ignition switch a part of the motherboard heats up a lot.

PSP 3000: Why does my PSP shut off during booting

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 08:43:23 -0700

when i try to boot up my psp, it gets the the logo but then shuts off with a distinct click sound. i tried to adjust the battery so it sits properly and put a piece of paper inside it and tried to boot it, still didn’t work. i also tried to take the battery out and boot it while directly connected to the power cable. this still didn’t work. i also tried to take out the sd card and boot it, thinking that it could be because of a plugin. but this still didn’t work. any advice or help without having to tear the whole thing apart

PSP 300x: Problem with replacing the right conductive film

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 02:02:47 -0700

Hi everyone, I'm repairing my PSP 3004, which had broken X and Square buttons.

I ordered a replacement conductive film and reinstalled it, but using a control testing tool, I noticed that the R2 button was having phantom presses (it would press and release randomly).

So, I bought a new conductive film, thinking it was broken. I installed it, but I'm having the exact same problem. This time, the problem is with the Triangle and Circle buttons...

I checked the flat cable, and it's perfectly inserted and straight. Has anyone had a similar problem with their PSP? I don't know how to fix it.

@dan0

I purchased this model, which is specified for 3000 models. It's the second one I've purchased, and I've changed suppliers.

The problem specifically occurs when I glue the film onto the console. Before gluing it, I connected both flat cables, and everything works fine. Once glued, the problems begin...

The film is perfectly centered (it follows the plastic pins for positioning).

My PsP E1004 hasnt been used in a while, i noticed while trying to turn in ot that the lcd seems to power of for a fraction of a secont (you can see the black change for a moment) the console does not make any sounds whatsoever and after further disassembly i was unabe to get the console to boot but can confirm that the Internals had power via the wall plug i did try booting it with and without battery but i am unsure if the lack of noise and "the flash" mean i should get a new display or get a new mb.

PSP E1000: PSP E1004, backlight works but no image.

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:18:21 -0700

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my PSP e1004 (Street).

I followed the guide for the Baryon Sweeper, tested it on a working PSP of the same model, and the service menu opens correctly.

However, I'm having a problem with this other PSP Street. Specifically, I have no signs of life other than the green LED. When I plug in the Baryon and use the key combination to launch the service menu, the backlight turns on, but there's no image on the screen.

I can rule out a display malfunction since I tested it on a working PSP. I've also attached the sweeper logs.

What could be the problem? The PSP appears to be alive, but there's no image, just the backlight.

PS: The backlight only turns on if I connect the PSP to the sweeper and open the service menu.

Hi, I have a PSP e1004 (Street model). I'm having a problem with the backlight. The display works fine with a flashlight, but the backlight isn't working properly. I replaced the backlight circuit fuse, but the problem remains the same: the backlight isn't working. What could be the cause?

I checked the soldered fuse with a multimeter, and it was soldered correctly.
