My PSP's analog stick isnt working properly the characters keep moving down and i can control them only left and right i dont have my proof of purchase for service and my warranty has expired What should i do?

I would just replace the controler not worth taking it apart and monkey with the pads and stuff./

hmmm... sounds like LCD problem!

Better bring that PSP to any technician, ur LCD connection might have disconnected and hope it just LOOSEN the connection!


Hope that plays ur probs out!

simple, get a replacement joystick module and install it on your psp. i did a couple. the psp really isnt that intimidating to take apart. compared to an xbox 360 or playstation

Sounds to me like the analog contacts need cleaning. I would take it to a shop or a specialist... If you have the proper tools you can do this yourself but from personal experience these can be hard to get contacts lined up correctly after taking them apart.

hi thanks for using fixya!

On this kind of error, I recommend that you bring your psp to a service center to further check that contol analog stick.

Regards!

Try calibrating your PSPs analog stick, here's how: 1. Go to Settings>System Settings 2. With the System Information screen displayed, rotate your analog stick in a circular motion (clockwise and counter clockwise). This will adjust the analog stick's range of motion. 3. Exit the Settings then run your game and test the analog stick. (it should be working well by now)
I hope this helps.

I had the same problem, but with my PS2. try to get a replacement analog stick if you can do such a thing.

Hey, looks like your PSP may have one of these two problems. There are 2 screws on the backside of the PSP System on the side of the analog stick. If either of the screw is loose then the analog stick will move by itself.
Second problem is the Analog Stick itself has been damaged. You can replace these very easily if you are good with tools and electronics.

i would go to gamestop and ask for andy and he will tell you how to fix or he will.

remove batteries. just one hold down buttons 6 & 8 reinstall battery this resets the analog sticks
