Okay so long story short, I dropped my psp (which in itself is kinda annoying because I make a point to not drop things) on my glass desk and the umd door partially came off. My first thought was, "oh my god its broken." I mean, while the drop wasn't far (I was lifting it up to put it on a shelf about a foot above), it did hit a really hard surface. Enough to make the door partially come off, send the umd flying, and have the battery door and battery come off. My second thought was "welp. guess I'm not gonna have a psp anymore." This is my 3rd psp and I simply cannot afford to replace this one even if they are cheap. After just sitting there for a minute trying to process all of this (and wake up. I had just woken up.), I picked it up to assess the damage, and the only thing that was out of place was the umd door. All I would have to do is put it back into place and hope that the psp would turn on and function properly. For those that don't know, the door is connected via tiny plastic peg on the left, and tiny platic peg + spring on the right, and since it came off on the left, the only thing that could get it back on is force. Which is somewhat frightening because if the peg breaks, the door won't stay connected and this would cause other problems. After working with it for a couple minutes it became apparent that force alone was not going fix this because of the way it came off and the plastic not flexing enough to get the door over and back on the peg. So I started shaving the plastic on the lower corner of the door down at an angle to see if I could get the peg to slide back in and that worked. I got the door back on and quickly replaced everything that had come off to turn it on and see if it would still work. And it did. Everything seems to be working fine and I don't have to pay money (which I couldn't anyway). sweet.
Woo : D and now you should cover your psp in a bubble wrap casing so that it will always be okay :3 plus bubble wrap <3
i have cfw i also only have an 8gb card i also like hard copies of games and the boxes they come in and i took gpsp kai off because... well, i didnt want it anymore. and fyi i was playing an iso before it dropped
This is why I got a PSP protector case as well when we ordered my second PSP. As for the PSP itself, it's dropped two times thus far, but both times have been on my bedroom carpet, so no damage, other than getting dirt on it, which, technically, isn't damage, happened.
I've had the same PSP for five years and the only problem I've ever had with it is the fact that the battery life is sh*t. No case, either. Just those stickers that came with the BBS preorder.
I DIDNT GET THEM I preordered the game but they didn't come with it for some reason. Not that would have used them, but still.
