Hello everyone, so I inserted my sd2vita card into the game card slot and it got stuck. When i tried to pull it out like an idiot i ripped and bent the pins inside. Is there any way for replacement? Or any alternative? I dont need the game slot i just need to use the sd card.

Note: i have a wifi only version so no dice with that.

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.

PSP 2000: Psp works with 1 game wont try to read others

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:21:00 -0700

I got a psp 2000 and it reads resistance retribution. But doesn't seem to even try to read other games. I tried metal gear acid 1 and 2, and its like it doesn't register the games are there. Im assuming the laser reader needs to be replaced. I tried dusting it out and cleaning the laser reader still nothing (they are all UMD's and none of them have damage)

My ps vita will charge and turn on and display a blue light, but the screen is black, I have watched videos on how to reset, they all say that I should hold the power button to reset, however when I do that it simply turns the device off with blue flashing light, I have also tried all the button combinations required to “hard reset the device”, none of them seem to work, I am completely stuck as to what to do. Thanks.

Ok so I have replaced the ribbon film as well as the rubber bumpers as well as the R1 button itself as well as clean all contacts and everything works on the controller but the R1 button.

PSP 1000: PSP 1004 light turning on for a couple of seconds, then turning off

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:24:55 -0700

Hello! I recently bought this PSP 1004 for pretty cheap, so I was obviously expecting some sort of issue to arise. Most of the posts I've seen on the internet show either a green light that appears for a split second before turning off or a green light that stays on for 20s/doesn't turn off (which from what I understand is a sign that the PSP is bricked and needs to be flashed), but in my case the green light stays on for a few seconds before turning off. It's in very good aesthetic conditions and doesn't appear to have been tinkered with in any way. In the video I'm trying to turn the PSP on without the battery since, even after using the battery from my PSP 2000, it won't turn on (though it does charge)
Other things that I've tried:
Turning it on with and without the memory stick
Using a different (original) charger
The following button combinations:
L + R + Power
Home + Power
Holding Power on for 30s/a full minute
Home + Select + Start + Square + Triangle + Power
Select + Start + Square + Triangle + Power

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!! ❤️

DualSense: DualSense flashing three white lights when turned on.

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:51:34 -0700

Hi there, apologies if this has been answered; I couldn't find it anywhere. I opened up my DualSense and replaced the battery. Now when I turn it on, it flashes blue and connects as normal. The controller works perfectly as well.

The only difference is that now, instead of flashing one white light, it flashes three. I couldn't find anything that explains what this means. I was planning on opening up the device again and checking the connections, but before I do, does anyone happen to know what it means?

EDIT: Here is a video of the issue, hopefully it will play. With the PS5 off and disconnected, I hit the PS button on both controllers. The black controller flashes the blue light bar and one white light. The white controller flashes the blue light bar and three white lights.
