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

check to make sure the headphone/tv output jack is not pushed in farther than its supposed to be. youl know if its in to far. if its fine then you mite need to replace the joystick chip. its not that complicated of a procedure.
first off buy another joystick make sure its for your psp first there are different modles.

oper up your psp. to do this (depending on your modle) unscrew the little screw that are on the outside plastics. there is 2 under the batter one of tem you can see the other is under neith the sticker at the bottom poke around to find it

once you have your psp open your scree will get in the way so dont unplug it but just bring it out of the plastic brace that has it in there. there will be lil aluminun strips on the side that hold the screen still just pop those out of there holes careful not to crack the screen.

then your motherboard mite get in the way so you will need to just lift that one up and out of the way be carefult not to break any plugs. once you have that up your joystick should be acessable. if there is one more just unscrew that one andset it aside for now.

just insert your new joystick in place of the old one and go back threw that steps till its together again

i cant be held responsible if something goes wrong OPEN YOU PSP AT YOUR OWN RISK
good luck its isnt hard really

dont throw this one in the trash. your analog stick on the psp is stuck in the forward position. just take your analog stick off and replace it to where it is centered.

It will probably have to be replaced. A new one can be purchased on ebay for less than $10

most of the time when you think that your joystick is messing up its really just the psp's motherboard that is messing up.

choices=get a new motherboard or get a new psp

Hello,

Did you make sure not to lose the small transparent rectangle that is "floating" on top of the analog (in the inside). The analog does not work without it.

If I'm understanding the directions correctly, all you need to do is pull up on the analog cap. It snaps back on so don't be afraid when it comes off. If you lose the cap, i believe they sell replacements for it separately in most Best Buys, Circuit City, etc. They cost like 5 dollars for 3 or something....

After you pull off the cap there should be kind of a small stubby joystick.

Good Luck!

then it is a internal fault is it under warranty if so id take it back and try your analog stick on the replacement one then your see if it your machine or the analog ?
