PSP E1000: My PSP won't turn on and heats up at one point on the motherboard

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:39:01 -0700

Hello, my PSP Hello, my PSP E1000 didn't turn on, so I took it apart and noticed that with the battery inserted when I press the ignition switch a part of the motherboard heats up a lot. I don't know if it heats up on one side or if it heats up on the other side of the PCB. Has anyone already happened and knows how to solve it?

PSP 3000: Why does my PSP shut off during booting

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 08:43:23 -0700

when i try to boot up my psp, it gets the the logo but then shuts off with a distinct click sound. i tried to adjust the battery so it sits properly and put a piece of paper inside it and tried to boot it, still didn’t work. i also tried to take the battery out and boot it while directly connected to the power cable. this still didn’t work. i also tried to take out the sd card and boot it, thinking that it could be because of a plugin. but this still didn’t work. any advice or help without having to tear the whole thing apart

PSP 300x: Problem with replacing the right conductive film

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 02:02:47 -0700

Hi everyone, I'm repairing my PSP 3004, which had broken X and Square buttons.

I ordered a replacement conductive film and reinstalled it, but using a control testing tool, I noticed that the R2 button was having phantom presses (it would press and release randomly).

So, I bought a new conductive film, thinking it was broken. I installed it, but I'm having the exact same problem. This time, the problem is with the Triangle and Circle buttons...

I checked the flat cable, and it's perfectly inserted and straight. Has anyone had a similar problem with their PSP? I don't know how to fix it.

@dan0

I purchased this model, which is specified for 3000 models. It's the second one I've purchased, and I've changed suppliers.

The problem specifically occurs when I glue the film onto the console. Before gluing it, I connected both flat cables, and everything works fine. Once glued, the problems begin...

The film is perfectly centered (it follows the plastic pins for positioning).

PSP E1000: PSPe1004 Display starts but nothing happens

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 23:34:28 -0700

My PsP E1004 hasnt been used in a while, i noticed while trying to turn in ot that the lcd seems to power of for a fraction of a secont (you can see the black change for a moment) the console does not make any sounds whatsoever and after further disassembly i was unabe to get the console to boot but can confirm that the Internals had power via the wall plug i did try booting it with and without battery but i am unsure if the lack of noise and "the flash" mean i should get a new display or get a new mb.

PSP E1000: PSP E1004, backlight works but no image.

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:18:21 -0700

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my PSP e1004 (Street).

I followed the guide for the Baryon Sweeper, tested it on a working PSP of the same model, and the service menu opens correctly.

However, I'm having a problem with this other PSP Street. Specifically, I have no signs of life other than the green LED. When I plug in the Baryon and use the key combination to launch the service menu, the backlight turns on, but there's no image on the screen.

I can rule out a display malfunction since I tested it on a working PSP. I've also attached the sweeper logs.

What could be the problem? The PSP appears to be alive, but there's no image, just the backlight.

PS: The backlight only turns on if I connect the PSP to the sweeper and open the service menu.

PSP E1000: Psp e1004 (Street) backlight not working.

Hi, I have a PSP e1004 (Street model). I'm having a problem with the backlight. The display works fine with a flashlight, but the backlight isn't working properly. I replaced the backlight circuit fuse, but the problem remains the same: the backlight isn't working. What could be the cause?

I checked the soldered fuse with a multimeter, and it was soldered correctly.

PSP 1000: PSP-1000 won’t bootgreen power LED flashes once then turns off

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 07:37:31 -0700

Hi everyone, I need help troubleshooting my PSP-1000.

I was originally on official 6.61 stock firmware with no custom firmware installed. I then installed ARK-5 using this guide:

https://www.pspunk.com/psp-cfw/

After installing ARK-5, I made it permanent using the cIPL Flasher option.

On 11/06/2026, I copied GTA: Liberty City Stories to the PSP’s Memory Stick and started playing. It seemed to work fine at first.

Today, 12/06/2026, I played Liberty City Stories again and completed around two missions. Suddenly, the game froze, the screen showed graphical artifacts/glitches, and then the PSP shut itself off.

Now when I try to power it on, the green power LED only flashes once for a few milliseconds and then immediately turns off. The screen stays black and it does not boot.

Current symptoms:

Model: PSP-1000
Firmware before CFW: 6.61 official firmware
CFW installed: ARK-5
Permanent install method: cIPL Flasher
Game being played when it failed: GTA: Liberty City Stories
Screen froze with graphical artifacts before shutdown
Now the green power LED flashes once briefly, then turns off
No Sony logo
No XMB
No sound
No recovery menu that I can access
Plugging it into a computer does not register
Screen stays black

Troubleshooting I have already tried:

Tried powering on normally with the battery installed
Tried powering on while connected to the official Sony charger
Charger gives an orange light with the battery installed, so the PSP is receiving power/charging
Tried removing the battery and powering it with only the official Sony charger
Same result with charger only: single green flicker, black screen, then off
Tried removing the battery and pressing/holding buttons before putting the battery back in
Tried connecting it to a computer, but it does not register
Tried removing the Memory Stick before powering on
Tried booting while holding R for recovery menu, but nothing appears

Because it will not boot into XMB, recovery menu, or USB mode, I do not know how I would “wipe” it. From what I understand, I can only format the Memory Stick externally on a PC, but I cannot wipe or reinstall the PSP’s internal flash unless it can boot into recovery or be recovered using something like a Pandora Battery / Magic Memory Stick.

Does this sound more like:

a cIPL/flash brick from the permanent ARK-5 install,
a corrupted Memory Stick issue,
a bad power switch/power board,
a motherboard/GPU failure,
or another hardware fault?

The graphical artifacts before it shut off make me wonder if this is hardware-related, but the timing after installing permanent CFW also makes me worried it could be a brick.

What should I test next? Would a Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick be the correct recovery method for a PSP-1000 in this state, or should I be looking at power board/motherboard faults first?

Any help would be appreciated.

PSP 300x: PSP not charging but working fine with a charged baterry inside.

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:30:13 -0700

My childhood PSP broke :(. The problem is that it does not charge and only works if i put in a charged battery in. I tried using both charging ports to no succsess. I opened it up and checked the continuity of the main power fuse marked TB with a multimeter, it was blown. So i shorted it and the console still would not charge. After that i tried putting in a charged battery and it worked so shorting the fuse did not cause any damage.i tried checking other fuses for continuity based on https://www.komstation.com/guides/psp-fu... but i found some of the fuses were poorly marked, every fuse that i found and checked worked. I do not know what the problem could be.

Someone please help. Thank you if you will take a look into my problem.
