Thought this was a good idea at the time so I wrote up common hardware stuff that goes wrong with the PSP.

My faceplate won't shut all the way
-Some third party shells just don't fit properly so some modification to the shell is needed

My DPAD moves to the right/left/up/down
-You closed the faceplate with the rubber contacts/plastic buttons on the wrong way so it screws up

My DPAD doesn't respond
-You put the DPAD ribbon on the mobo in incorrectly

My analog goes to the bottom right of the screen and doesn't move
-The contacts of the analog are not on right. If they are not all fully contacted with the mobo it will not function correctly

My facebuttons moves to the right/left/up/down
-You closed the faceplate with the rubber contacts/plastic buttons on the wrong way so it screws up

My facebutton doesn't respond
-You have something blocking the rubber contacts from the board

My UMD doesn't read the disc
-Your disc is damaged/dirty or your lense is dirty or your lense is broken or the ribbon cable is not on correctly between the mobo and drive

My speakers makes a weird sound
-Check your connections if that isn't right your speakers are damaged

My backlight doesn't work but I can still see the lcd if I hold it up to a light
-The backlight fuse is blown and can be easily bridged or your backlight is fucked

I can't see anything but different color lines on my LCD
-Your LCD is fucked

There is a line through my LCD and when I press it I can see shades of colors surrounded by a black bubble
-Your LCD is cracked

My PSP doesn't charge
-Check your charger/port/ribbon cable between mobo and power board

My PSP doesn't turn on it, the LED blinks then turns off
-Something is shorting the circuits, open it and check

My WIFI doesn't work
-Check the connection between the MS board and the WIFI module, check your WIFI router, turn on your wireless on MS board....

The buttons below the LCD don't respond
-Check the ribbon connection between the control board and the power board

My UMD drive makes weird sounds
-There's something scraping against the lense

My MS stick doesn't read
-It's either a fake MS or your MS board is fucked

My battery doesn't charge
-Check your charging port or our battery is dead
