    My UMD drive is not reading the UMD disk. I can here the disk spinning and when I open the door it also stops spinning. The circle in the bottom right hand corner is also working, the game just never comes on. I had to charge it on my computer the other night dont know if that has anything to do with it. Please help. Thanks

    you could do an idstorage fix, if that does nothing its a hardware issue.

    should be hackable. so if you get a pandora, you can make an mms and fix this.

    Its a PSP-2001 so the only way that I can fix it is by getting a pandora and hacking it. It has never been hacked it is all official firmware. What actually happend to it?

    first get the pandora and do the idstorge fix, then we can go from there.

    I blew into the umd area and now it works but off and on. Is it possible that it is just dirty? If so how would I clean it or is there another solution? Thanks for all the help

    You may consider using a can of compressed air to GENTLY (NEVER hold the can at a lower angle that 45 degrees) blow out dust from the lens, but that' won't be 100% effective. If the lens is just blocked, that would be a relief, but if it's defective, you may have to simply get it replaced through either warranty or third party... Or maybe.. Yourself. Dealextreme does sell umd drives by themselves, but I suppose it does require lots of knowhow, as it's not exactly a simple faceplate replacement.

    or get CFW and run the iso of it. you would need another PSP (Hackable) with cfw to rip it.
