Makes you wonder if there are a lot of adults who play PSP as well. No matter, the game sold really well– with sales breaking the 1 million barrier. Also, maybe because the game is played more by adults somewhat diminished the game in Gamespot’s eyes, I don’t know. Perhaps when Gamespot rated this game they really weren’t impressed with it. Could be that there are market behaviours that aren’t taken into consideration when a particular video is rated. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories – 8.6Īs you may have noticed there are games in both lists that did not make into the other lists. however rates the following PSP games as the best games everġ1.

There are games that are highly rated and yet they don’t manage to crack the top ten bestselling PSP games list. Some movies can be critically acclaimed but may perform poorly in terms of ticket sales.
Some movies will make a killing at the box office while being lambasted by movie critics. You know what they say, it’s very seldom that you get a product that satisfies both its critics and its customers. If you can't hear it move down the track OR it is very clicky follow this. If you cant hear it tick I would move on and inspect this internally later.Ĭan you hear the Laser move down the rail? This will be a smooth sound of the gears, it should not be a really clicky sound. there could be to much pressure for the disc to spin freely.Ĭan you hear the Laser focus? This might be hard to hear it will sound like a little tick. if the disc motor is spinning again, look around to see if the metal housing is obstructing the disc when you put it in. On a working PSP you will hear the disc start to spin up, then you can hear the laser start to twitch, followed by the laser motor moving the laser down the rails.Ĭan you hear the disc spin up? If not I would take the disc out again and press the switch with your probe again. If both are running well then lets put a disc in and get your ear up close so you can hear what is going on in there. If the laser is not lighting up then it could be the laser, I would try and check the cables to the PSP and see if there is a bad connection. I would lean more towards the bad motor problem BUT would not say for sure, I would recommend that you take the parts out and see if there is another problem also. is it moving slightly? Maybe a little twitch? *** CAUTION DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE LASER *** If you press this down with a small probe, you should see the disc motor spin and the laser light up red If you look to the left there is a black tab that sticks up, this tells the PSP that there is a UMD in the drive. If you open up the UMD door and look down inside you will see the Laser assembly. Turn on your PSP and remove any UMD that might be in there now. So first what we need to do is find out what is actually wrong with your PSP. This is the worst outcome, since there is very little what we can do but replace the motherboard. It will not focus the laser to read the UMD disc. This will not let The disc in the UMD spin.Ībout 20% is the Laser motor, this might be hard to spot since it could be something in the gears.Ībout 10% is the actual laser itself. It is different every time, sometimes its a piece of dust, plastic, soda, and even hair.Īnother 25% is the Disc Spinning motor. I have seen many PSP's stop reading UMD discs and for the most part they are repairable with the least amount of opening your PSP.įirst we will do some trouble shooting with what might be wrong with your PSP unit.Ībout 35% of the time I find that there is something stuck in the UMD gear.
