hey guys im back wit the same psp if you remember me anywho heres the story...

my PSP was messed up just a while ago. it had fell into a puddle during the lil nor'eastern we were having and it was workin but the O button was not. so i finally opened up my psp and saw some oxidation where the button boards cable connects to the mobo, whiped it clean and it works now... no my issue is my joystick. it is continually goin northwest, so i cant really play anygames yet. i checked to see if there was something on the 4 contacts but there is not, i did notice though if i touch my screwdriver to the bottom contact the movement stops.. anyone have any idea what that could be or how i could stop it and have a working psp?

Pretty sure if you buy a new joystick it comes with the contact board and since u have been inside and played with the ribbon cable already then install should be a snap

the problem is with the contacts on the mobo not the actual joystick itself

im not really sure if u could do this but maybe buy a mobo on ebay? i dont kno if they sell them just trying to help

I think they do, be careful, they might be the remains of a bricked PSP
Also, they have the whole joystick bit on Ebay too

this happened to me i just had to align the face plate part with that clear thing under the face plate. i just tighten and looses the screws and it worked fine

yea im pretty sure the problem is that your screws arnt tightened ...tighten all your scres before you buy anything

thanks for the tip guys on the screws thing i have the same problem

guys.. is it possible to purchase the lil rubber connector that the joystick sits on?? im rebuilding this psp but need that rubber as it was lost a good while ago

noone knows?

is your problem like this
you play a game and the joystick(analog stick?) keeps going it one direction constantly ?

I have this problem although it goes south for me and its because i dropped it exactly 1.354 million times.
so where can i get a new analog stick & are there any tested instructions to replace it ?
thanks.

my issue is similar.. but there is a rubber contact that goes in between the mobo and joystick.. that is missing in mine... i need that lil rubber piece or my joystick just wont work nomore

found it.. it comes with the lcd bracket.. terrif.. ill finish my psp hopefully this week
