This thread is about a PSP 2000 problem... when analog stick moves on its own and
when you try to move it, it will not follow you. Before you bring it to a repair shop that
will cost you money, why don't you fix it on your own? Wanna know how? Don't worry,
you don't need to be a technician to do this, it's VERY simple!!
Now, here are the ways how to fix it (well this is from the easiest way to the hardest
way, but the hardest is still easy though)
How it works: Moving the analog stick there will run the analog stick calibration, and
when doing that, the PSP adjusts the movement range of your analog stick.
How it works: Sometimes, it's just loosed for a bit, just apply some force and it'll be
back to normal again.
How it works: The common reason of the problem is that the screw is loose, tightening it
will help.
Now, if that didn't work as well, do the same procedure (open the PSP) but we'll replace
step 4)
New 4.) Look at the analog stick, and unscrew it (the top left in the analog stick)
5.) Move the stick's chip and take it out.
6.) Get an eraser
7.) Clean the gold part (in the right corner of the stick) by using the eraser to wipe the
gold chip (at some case there is a jelly-like thing on top of the gold chip when you
remove it, BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE IT)
8.) Wipe the gold chip with a wet cloth.
9.) Dry the gold chip or wipe it with a dty cloth.
Optional: Return the jelly-like thing back on the gold chip if you had it.
10.) Return the analog stick and screw it back.
11.) Reassemble the case.
How it works: The gold chip is the one that transmits the actions on what you do with
the analog stick, and the jelly-like thing does the same. Having the gold chip dirty will
make the performance of the analog stick poor, and sometimes causing it to give false
commands, making it to move by itself.
If that didn't work, you can use a vacuum cleaner and aim it near the analog stick while
the PSP's faceplate is removed. This will do a better cleaning, but be sure to tighten the
screws and remove the parts that the vacuum cleaner might take away.
The procedures ARE ALL WORKING. I DID THOSE STEPS AND PROVED IT.
Now that you know how to do it, you can fix it all by yourself now, than bringing it to a
repair shop.
Note: For PSP 1000, you can see the gold chip on the back of the faceplate once you
removed it.
Note: The procedures are tested ONLY on my PSP 2000, if 1000 or 3000 will have the
problems, I can't assure if it will work.
