PSP 2000: psp 2000 series repair guide steps

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 15:54:12 -0700

I have a psp 2001 series with a UMD disk drive with a worn out laser. Games are no longer being read. There is a guide for psp 2000 umd drive replacement, but there are some steps that I'm not understanding.

1) On step 10, it says to pinch upper arms to dislocate them from the UMD door. The UMD bracket can now be easily pulled out. How do you remove the bracket? The bracket is still secure in the unit.

2) On step 10, it says to gently pry on the left hand side of the UMD door to remove it. How do you remove the door because the door is still secure in the unit.

I have done all steps to step 10 and I'm puzzled.

PSP 2000: PSP 2000 Battery not working correctly

Sun, 06 Oct 2019 15:16:13 -0700

I bought a brand new PSP 2000/3000 battery off amazon a while ago since my other one seemed to have died. It worked when I put it in the for the first time, but after that, the battery would disconnect and reconnect very quickly (at least according to the XMB and P Tester) The system would still work fine plugged in without the battery, but if I have the battery inserted while plugged in, the PSP would assume the battery is full after a couple of minutes and shut down, requiring me to remove the battery and the power adapter to boot back up.

I've also tried different adapters, 2 USB/Charging cables and an official Sony charger.

Can somebody help?

My PSP charges but will not turn on. I have switched out the power switch board with a working PSP. The switch board works fine. I have replaced the battery with a new fully charged battery and still will not turn on. I have no idea what step to take next.

PSP 2000: Plays movies; will not play games

Wed, 04 Jul 2018 10:16:20 -0700

I bought a PSP at a second hand store. The unit plays movies, but it will not play games. I've tried to update the firmware.

Every game I try to play says to update the firemware; which never complete successfully.

I think, at some point, it was hacked. I don't know how to restore it so I can play games on it.

PSP 2000: Is there a way to remove Battery connector from the logic board?

Fri, 08 Jul 2016 13:43:26 -0700

I need help with salvaging my PSP 2000. My last attempt before dumping it away.

Basically I think I have a problem with reading the battery... I am suspecting the connector or maybe a fuse ... I've ruled out the battery an charger, they're both working fine on another PSP.

Is there a guide to remove and replace that connector or anyway to find out if the fuse is blown?

Thx.

PSP 2000: Why am I getting irregular voltages from the psp charging socket. and

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 10:09:50 -0700

The batteries of my psp 2000 and psp 1000 game consoles were dead. I used the original bms circuit of the batteries and assembled them on circuits with the same epproom, but it cannot charge the new 1500 mah 3.7 V batteries I installed and the orange light flashes slowly when I plug it in. However, the battery in the video has its own BMS circuit, I tried everything. I installed only Sony BMS and it did not work, I used two BMSs and it did not work, I used only the non-original BMS and it did not work. I would be glad if you could help, have a good day. (fuses are intact)

I replaced a broken screen recently from an old PSP from my childhood. Although when I replaced it I realised the motherboard was broken too, so I replaced both of these, although now the PSP works although there are green lines from the screen, is it just a bad screen or maybe a cable thing?
