Let me begin by telling you that you do not need to send your PSP for repair to anybody because you can definitely repair it by yourself. I will show you how this can be done. Nowadays, fixing, repairing or replacing parts of a Sony PSP has been made easy with the help of detailed instructional guides. When you PSP joystick starts to break off, it is stuck or stops moving or it only moves in one direction, it might even be moving on its own, the you know there is a problem. Then what can you do? You need some basic tools that will help you solve these kinds of problems namely: new analog joystick for your slim PSP and some small screwdrivers, specifically Philips and flatheads. You can purchase this joystick from an online shop like Amazon and co. Now the job left is the knowledge of assembly. I will show you simple steps of assembling it.
The first thing you need do is to totally take off the faceplate from the Sony PSP (note: this makes your warranty of the product null and void). Doing this is not a big task as you might feel; it only takes a few steps. You Sony need to unscrew five screws (I assume you have a Phillips head screwdriver ready for that purpose) and place the removed screws in a safe place. Now, you do not need to take off the screen when you are taking out the stick. That done. Let`s go to step two.
The second step is to remove the analog stick from the Sony PSP; you do this by sliding it to your left. You might need to do a little bit of wiggling it so it can be removed (note that the contact that relates the joystick with its mother board comes in form of plastic and it is circled with green).

PSP DISC ERROR: HOW TO GET IT FIXED
A major problem PSP games encounter is the disc error problem. If your PSP game has this problem, then this article is just what will show you how to get it fixed one time!
When your game is unable to read game and movie discs, then your game has the problem called disc error. It is a problem that affects the console`s internal Blu-ray drive of the game. I will show you how to get it fixed so you can get back to enjoying your SP game.
You might think doing this is a big task to accomplish, but I tell you with the right information, it is as easy as anything you could think of!
I must be frank with you, one major problem that PSP games encounter that is such a nagging one is this disc error problem. It is actually not as easy to fix as replacing the screen is. But it is absolutely achievable. You will need to purchase a replacement drive to start with (note: they are quite expensive to get).Note also that if you take your PSP to Sony, they will charge you a sum of $150 just to trouble shoot your drive! Why then can`t you try and fix it yourself when you have the right guide in front of you?
To get this kind of error fixed, you first need to clean the drive lens. You need to be aware that dust tends to settle on the lens over time and thereby making it hard to read discs correctly. You need a lens cleaning kit to get this done and it must be done with absolute care. You can purchase a lens cleaner from your local video games shop or from an online shop, and make sure you follow the instruction in the packaging word for word so you do not damage your lens any further.
Also, you should be sure that the disc you are using is in perfect working condition. You might have tested one or two discs, these number might not be enough for testing, try and borrow some more discs to be perfectly sure or you can make use of those fallow Blu-ray discs you have around you just to be sure it is only a problem with that specific disc.
Always keep your movie and game discs clean and make sure you store them in their respective cases so as to prevent them from getting scratched. If they get scratched, they might not work properly.
If you have taken time to do all these and none of them still works, then you might have to carry out more complex repairs on the PSP to get the problem fixed. To carry out this complex repair, you will need a detailed PSP guide eBook which will detail all the information and instruction you need to get this complex repair. This eBook must contain information about how to safely open up your console and fix Blu-ray drive. Doing this is far cheaper and faster than sending your console back to Sony.

SIMPLE SONY PSP CLEANING METHOD
Dust tends to settle on you Sony PSP over time and once dust starts settling on it without proper and careful cleaning, it might start to malfunction and if care is not taken, damage could be done to major arts of the game. So, you need to regularly clean it to avoid such. But as complex as the game is, so is the cleaning. You just don`t clean Sony PSP in a carefree manner. It must be done with care and you need to follow simple laid down protocol to avoid any damage. In this article, I will show you a simple way of cleaning your Sony PSP from inside to the outside!
To get your game cleaned, you need a basic material called Microfiber cloth. This is the best material to get your game cleaned without hassle. But if you do not have one or cannot lay your hands on any, then any soft clothe will do. Note that i said soft cloth! All you have to do is use the soft cloth to slowly and gently wipe dust off your PSP. Here, you need to be extremely careful so you do not apply a lot of pressure. Applying too much pressure when cleaning could cause scratches on the glossy surface of your PSP. You can as well use that same cloth (a clean part of the cloth though) to clean the controllers as well. That is a simple way of cleaning you Sony PSP from outside.
Now, lets get down to the more complex part of cleaning it from the inside. You need to be extra-careful here. Basically, there are two major ways of cleaning a Sony PSP from the inside.
The first way of cleaning your game is by running a vacuum cleaner across the ventilation grates of the console. This method is a method that Sony actually recommends in the manual for cleaning from the inside. But, you need to be extremely careful when you are using a vacuum cleaner because you could do damage to some major components of the game. To avoid such a problem, make sure your vacuum cleaner is not on full power, this way no damage could be done.
Secondly, let me start by telling you that you can clean it by opening it up. This is a bit complicated, but if you do it carefully, it is not an issue at all. But strongly suggest that you do not do this without following steps from a PSP repair guide. This is actually the best way to get it cleaned and stop your game from malfunctioning. But please only use this method when your game warranty has expired else, once you open your console, you have lost right to the warranty. There are PSP repair guides that give you step by step direction as to get your PSP cleaned and solving issues regarding malfunctioning. When searching for a guide, please go for guides that will offer you step-by-step instructions on how to clean your PSP and possibly go for ones that have picture instruction, they are better!
