i have had my psp for over two years now and it has developed a problem whereas the anolouge stick does not function correctly i diamantled my psp however i could not get the last screw undone it was the one in the bottom left corner under the void sticker, can u tell me how to get around it please, i think i know what is causing the prob, its probably the contacts on the back of the stick components have just got dirty.

Use proper title. I couldve deleted this thread if you would have read the rules. BKF

No, Its just that your analog stick is old, and worn out.

Just take off the void sticker. Your warranty ended a year ago most likely.

If you have a CFW use Joysens until you buy a new nub.

Buy one on ebay cheap!

no u dont undersrtand i have taken off the sticker, the thing i cant do is open up the psp

he's saying he couldnt get the last screw to budge.

There are 7 screws that need to be removed.
4 in the battery compartment.
2 on the right of the UMD door.
1 on the bottom, between the speakers.

i always have trouble getting the screw nearest the headphone jack back in

Take a bar of soap, and Screw the head into it. Just enough so that the screw will stick to the screw driver.

wait... are you talking to me or him?

You. You said you had trouble getting one of the smaller screws in. So, I told you how to make it easier.

well what i mean is that i screw it in, and yet it doesnt seem to have attached to the other half of the PSP.

Oh... Never had that happen.

Ya'know? You seem to be encountering the oddest PSP problems every 5 seconds on the hour...

do you think the screw could be threaded?

Yes, most screws that hold things together are threaded. It's the stripped ones you want to watch out for. If the threads were stripped then it would spin freely when you try and tighten it. If the head was stripped then obviously you would be able to tell because when you try and spin the screwdriver then it would have a grip on the screw and the screwdriver and slip and not spin the screw. Also look at the screw head to tell if it is stripped.

So did you cross check that list fox gave you and the screws that you have taken out? And what happens when you try to take the screw out under the sticker?

i dont know if it is stripped i just know that there is one screw under my void sticker that won´t come undone

if thast doesnt work i think i will claim on my house insurance for a new one

does that sound good or what?
