Help Guys,

My cousin spilled water on my psp and I didn't find out until the next day. By this time the water had already seaped into the LCD she was still playing it. She gave it back to me when she noticed some keys weren't working anymore. She was so engrossed in the Vice City Stories and was pissed that the buttons were not responding. Thats when I saw water dripping from different openings.

I removed the batteries and water had entered the compartment. I removed the memory card and the UMD and water was everywhere. I decided to try to get rid of the water so I used a blow dryer. I was on the case for at least an hour until the water in the LCD and every visible opening was gone. But the buttons still don't work. When I put it on it showed the normal Welcome screen, then Set time and Date.

I decided to take it to Sony Plaza at Apapa. The guy there just said I should bother fixing it. I should just buy a new one cause the cost of repairs is almost the same as the price of a new one. I don't believe thats true. To me it looks like a simple problem. Please if anybody has an idea of what I can do or how damaged the game is please help me out. I bought it about 4months ago and it is still looks considerably new. I also just bought 2 new game (Need for speed underground and Vice City Stories) that I've just started playing.

Thanks for your replies.

Mine once had an analogue proplem that make it move freely on its on and it was fixed. Yours is just a button prob maybe try changing the rubber. Which of the buttons is not working

Its only the "X" button that seems to work. The directional keys don't work. The volume control, Home and Start work though. I can't navigate within the Date and Time setup page. Then, the down direction key is down permanetly coz the numbers are flickering out of control, and when u press "X" it selects a number so fast that u can't control it. Its quite random.

Go to saka tinubu or computer villa. What happened to mine was worse than your's

Hello peeps,

So far I'm yet to get any helpful hints and nobody seems to have had any problems like this before and solved it. I'm back in school now and hardly have anytime to travel all to way to lagos to fix it. Thinking about selling it as scrap and buying a new one.

Well, reply this thread if you've got any solutions for me.

Thanks

I think you should just try and open your PSP,remove every them button even if it is possible for you remove the screen,remove it and put it under sun for like 30 minute, assemble it back,from there it my work,
Hope my suggestion is not stupid, take care

Thanks Seun and Lexyman. I'll holla at you later Lex

Make sure the water is completely dried up and just buy another button.

Ok, Lexyman, about getting back to you. The number you posted don't seem to be complete. Please complete it and holla back. Won't mind you guy's help. Cheers.

Thanks to Kokorunna by the way. By I want to try as much as possible not to open the console myself. Peace.

Well i just let my psp sit for about a week and left it alone and now it works.

@poster your case is a simple one has long as the PSP comes on and loads UMD's without no problems then its a piece of cake, the water that got into your psp must ve left dirt or dust after you dried the water using a dryer.

Take it to a repairer and tell him to open it and clean the rubber buttons and make sure they are clean and placed well before screwing back the game or if you can open your game then you can do it yourself, if you dont know how and you want to do it yourself let me know ok I will give u a manual or website how to open and repair PSP with guide lines, images. I got your mail, sorry I could not reply immediately.

just buy another one. that's why the company that produced it has not packed up.

seriously, spend 169$ just because the volumes not working?YEA RIGHT!

I would dash you mine, but it was a gift.

Be careful If you want to open up your PSP yourself. If you open it and then close it back the analog will move freely on its own. There is a certain number of turns you have to turn the screws for the analog to work again. So I don't suggest opening it up yourself. Take it to a professional.
