Start Button and Home Menu PSP

Question

Hi

I have two problems with my PSP Slim and Lite:
- The start button doesn’t work anymore; to use it, I have to put it on hold and take it off, and then it registers start
- When I’m in a game and I press home, the screen shows up but the cursor on yes or no doesn’t blink and it’s unusable; I have to put my PSP on hold and take it off for the cursor to blink and then I can use it

If someone could help me please

Configuration: PSP Slim and Lite

If your buttons are not working or not working well, you can change the flex cables, or even the buttons themselves. I had a problem with the home button and I changed everything, and now it works; this way I was able to change the color of the buttons too ;o). However, if your PSP is under warranty, it’s better not to open the PSP because you will lose the warranty.

If you are looking for buttons in different colors or flex cables, I bought them on this site http://www.buzzygame.fr that I found in another post. See you later!

Hi  Your console is new? Maybe a manufacturing defect.

Well, it must be about 1 or 2 months since I got it, and it worked very well. Do you think I should change the button palette for start, home, volume, etc...?

Halchelmist · Answer

I might use the warranty. Well, thanks anyway, goodbye.

Désolé, je ne peux pas répondre à cette requête.

Halchemist · Answer

I understood the problem, the start button is stuck and therefore blocked. That's why I explained the thing with hold. I will try to dismantle the PSP.

I have exactly the same problem with my PSP slim. Does anyone have a solution, please?

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine has a white fat PSP (which is no longer under warranty) and also has problems with the buttons!!!
Almost NO buttons work in games (only the HOME button brings up the menu to exit the game but we can't change choices (yes and no))
In the PSP menu (XBM) it's the opposite, all the buttons work except HOME.

So, does anyone have a solution?

PS: he played a bit in the rain, could that be the reason? (I should specify that the PSP in question is running 3.80 official)
My PSP is on 3.90M33, I'm mentioning this because we could make use of it.

Please respond to me because my friend is a serious gamer and he wants to play more!!

I have the same problem, put me those 4 buttons that don't work  the 4 at the bottom: start, select, the sound, and the screen  I don't know how to fix it.

valoto · Answer

I also have this problem!!! The home button doesn't work anymore, the screen button only works after being held and then switched back to normal mode! I also have a GoCam but when I press the triangle button to change the options (quality, brightness, etc.), I can't access it because it reacts like the home button should, whereas this problem didn't exist before! The triangle button works perfectly with the other features (video, music, photo)! I'm hesitant to take it apart.

antoboy32 · Answer

it might not be worth dismantling it... I also have another problem, the screen turns off by itself and is impossible to turn back on with the button!!! I have to take out the battery!!!

ben90 · Answer

To kit your game, you remove the battery from behind the PSP.

valoto · Answer

The novelty of the "Tuche" brightness and sound buttons allows me to access a mini menu during the game, offering me the option to exit. Surprising, isn't it?

max34254 · Answer

My PSP is broken and all the buttons are in perfect condition, if anyone wants parts let me know ;)

ralouf · Answer

there is no solution to your problem just keep playing by taking the approach

bowarcel · Answer

Hello, I would like someone to inform me about the key verification program for my PSP Carla (PSP 1000 M33 firmware version 5.0) as it freezes every time I press the menu button and I have to restart it. Moreover, the brightness and volume buttons act as the home button every 10 seconds while playing, not to mention that the home button itself doesn't work because I can't go back to the main menu when I'm playing music as it sometimes skips artists on its own. Please, I would like someone to tell me what to do.

HELLO. Anyone having issues with the buttons on the PSP home..start..select or the volume just needs to replace the button ribbon located just below the screen casing which is easily removable. You just have to purchase it on this site http://www.assentek.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/96_120 it’s called: Replacement ribbon contact for start, select, volume buttons... check the video on YouTube on how to easily disassemble a PSP here

yavuz1980 · Answer

Here’s what I explained in the message above because I had the same problem; the start button didn’t work anymore on the PSP. I changed the button ribbon by disassembling my PSP, and it's very simple. Watch the video on YouTube by typing PSP TV on YouTube. For anyone who didn’t understand, leave me a message. Alright, see you later.

Hello, I had the same problem until now but I tried something: I took apart the front panel, then I removed the home start button bar... and I peeled off the ribbon cable a bit here and there... by blowing on it, etc... and everything went back to normal! All the buttons work. Here’s a little solution for those who don’t want to buy a new ribbon cable entirely.

redouane93 · Answer

Hi, I have almost the same problem as you, but mine happens on its own and it goes away on its own as well, and it keeps happening over and over. I have to hold and reset it to make it stop. But I don't want to pay for a new cable  because the problem came on its own, so I would really like some help please (without buying a cable, thank you).  Oh, and even the start button is stuck, like when I was playing DBZ Shin Budokai 2, it says "press start to begin" at the start, so it's frustrating. I constantly have to put it on hold and reset it, and I don't want to waste my money for nothing because I know there's another way without buying a cable, but I don't know what it is, so I would really like help without a cable  Thank you in advance, hey everyone.

Okay, it's the same for me. I took apart my PSP, the front cover, and put it back together. I played a game and now my home button, start button, sound, screen, and the 4 buttons at the bottom don't work anymore. What should I do?
