How To Fix/Repair PSP PowerSwitch/PowerButton

[@angelmartin2419]

This was too dramatic I cried for a sec

[@onkelhiphop]

Me too 🤣

[@no_4259]

Thank you, mister or miss. This video has saved thousands upon thousands of PSPs, has revived our childhood memories, and will continue to help thousands of people. Thank you.

[@kitkatbitess]

Never thought this would work, thanks man! Now my 2018 has a purpose

[@O.A.K]

thatregularfan lol same, my PSO died a few month ago, I just never got round to fixing it until my recent nostalgia pains xD

[@no_4259]

thatregularfan same. I might buy another one (something special. Maybe some exotic color, E10000 or Go), just to start my little PS collection. One used for normal games, my actual one for emulators since it already has a few lol.

[@velvetdonut8541]

The music expressed exactly how I felt upon finding my power switch not working.

[@Funrunner008]

It's tragic

[@j9145]

I was going to try and fix my PSP using this tutorial but I ended up killing myself first because of this music.

[@losethegame1991]

Thank you for this. I wouldnt have tried this on my own. Walmart sells a Hyper Tough precision head screw bit set that has everything youll ever need for electronic repair. I used that and Liquid Wrench instead of WD40 with the same effect. Now $45 ebay PSP 2000 works flawlessly!

[@ffphreekz]

Thanks man! If it wasn't for this video, then I wouldn't have been able to bring my trusty psp back from the dead.

[@devingrubbs]

This worked for me and only took like 15 minutes! Thanks so much! Thought this PSP 2001 I bought off Craigslist was a dud til now.

[@Xempa-t1f]

😂😂😂😂as soon as I took out my screwdriver the psp started working😂😂

[@mudrickabdallah7251]

Afraid of surgery

[@kevinmarrie3295]

That PSP had some fear in it. Has it witnessed you take apart other devices? Lol.

[@unclejay1192]

i wanted to do this, but when the video started, i cried and sat down in tears. completely forgot abt fixing my psp.

[@danielafram4058]

Thanks man! You revived my psp! Greetings from Brazil!

[@josehlr26]

Queria poder dizer o mesmo do meu, mas não funcionou kkkkk. Acho que vou ser obrigado a comprar uma placa nova...

[@projectblackstarph]

scared of breaking it up, i tried other method, sprayed it with isoprophyll alcohol without removing the metal part and let it sit for a second then carefully move the slider back and forth. and it works 😅

[@ghostangel3316]

This save my riassemble of power button wow without this video i will not make the power button work

[@kevinmarrie3295]

You know I’m just trying to figure out what kind of switch this is in my tiny fender, mustang, micro, headphone amplifier. And the switch looked like it for a second I got excited. I don’t know what to do. I am never seen a switch like this it’s so small, just depressing lol

[@bumshit2160]

thanks a lot bro..this is the first tym on youtube that ill commented.helped me for throwing my psp.almost a year when suddenly i miss my psp.then i give it a try.this is the only one worked for me..thanks for sharing god bless... now i play some of underrated games 😂😂😂

[@dirtypedestrian]

Thanks for the tutorial. My PSP used to die right after I turned it on but now it works like a charm.

[@O.A.K]

Somo thanks for sharing this, at least I know it will work for this problem (that you explained). Lol, my PSP has the same problem

[@diegorage5776]

I Owe you one pal, you saved mi PSP in 2020, really, thanks a lot, my PSP constantly power up alone and restarts all the time, this save my PSP, you are the one!

[@jongbang8095]

How did disassemble or open the power switch of the PSP 2000

@Shiva Nadar Yes indeed !

[@DGP406]

came for the tutorial, cried with the song

[@xanrerkazuki9929]

DDUUUUDE thank you very much! btw i used generic brand machine oil works just as fine :P

[@Tsigarinho]

The worst power switch ever. I'll give it a try though as it started the problems for me too. Thanks for sharing!

[@BIDOPOLTO24]

What a beautiful guide! Very compliments and thank you!

[@davidhoward8434]

I had it for 0 times, but no errors, so I am good.

[@joselopez9400]

Every time I switched my psp on it would only stay on for 5 sec and then it got worse to 2 sec so I opened my psp and started doing this and notice I didn’t have wd40 so instead I used cooking oil and I thought I was crazy and it cleaned it so well and shiny so I put everything back together and it works so perfect now thank you sm for this vid

[@red5standingby421]

How did you put the ribbon cable back into the switch chip? Mine just slides right out even with the little lock mechanism closed and thus won't turn on.

[@joselopez9400]

I just slide the ribbon back in and just clamped it and it should lock u might have to push it a lil harder to lock

[@red5standingby421]

@@joselopez9400 I must've damaged mine. Guess all I can try now is replace the membrane cable.

[@troymen360]

You can use cooking oil instead?

[@chanuthlanerolle489]

My psp won’t switch on sometimes and when it does no green light comes. It’s always on the red light. It takes like 20 tries to switch on. Do you think my psp is bricked or is it the switch?

[@andrefrsmatias]

Ty so much, i tough there was no way no fix it!!!

[@X_Leonhart]

Thanks a lot. Your explanation was very useful. My PSP swith it's working like a charm again. Great music by the way.

[@anastasiosioannou580]

Your guide helped me a lot. Thank you very much!

[@deshelly_athetos]

am gonna cry...

[@jongbang8095]

How did you open the power switch I'm having trouble removing the metal part thank you

[@etchosts8162]

Link to buy those screwdrivers

[@saadshaheen3805]

My psp 2000 power light stays orange even when it isnt charging but works fine do you know how to fix it?

[@wouttimmermans1479]

Works great for stuck HOLD button too

[@slobodanlang7135]

it's a great video, it's great camera footage, the music is great, the fonts used, good job, you got skills.

[@Conradgarcia492]

Thank you a lot your a genius my fellow colleague!!

[@lexsuskr5331]

Will this fix my problem? My psp wont turn on until i take off my battery and put it back on then if its turn on my psp will shut off immediately like 3 seconds then it wont turn on again until i repeat the process. Edit: please reply asap

[@mikeits13]

I came here to check it out because a PSP I bought the other day has a faulty power switch that works once in a blue moon, and now the PSP is stuck powered on.

[@Aprendiz1878]

Good work man, but it is not necessary to disassemble all the switch completely you just needed to take some WD40 with a syringe and spray a few onto the open space of the switch and that is it, but I never image that WD40 brings this switches to life.

[@Funrunner008]

Is this method for when your switch is not springing back but loose and not turning on?

[@J0Diaz]

Hey, buddy, I have to ask what symptoms does this fixed for you? What model PSP was yours? I have a PSP 2001 that some times when tapped, even lightly, will have screen fade to black slowly. I got news about it being caused by a loose metal grid inside and fixed that. Then after a few days I charged the PSP and put it beside me and it started turning on by itself. Then turning off .Now I turn it on but it lasts only long enough for me to enter date and time, then shuts off to never turn on unless I remove battery for minutes.

[@O.A.K]

J0Diaz try this method in the video, my PSP has the same problem. If this doesn't work.. I guarantee that replacing the circuit board for the switch will definitely work. They are very cheaply if eBay

[@davidhoward8434]

This is scary to see you fixing it. 😨 😟 😱 🙀

[@alpstheguru]

Helped me a lot. Thanks a ton. God Bless you.

[@alecrice958]

.

[@andersonferrao]

MUITO BOM, MUITO OBRIGADO, O MEU PSP TINHA TRAVADO E EU NAO SABIA MAIS O QUE FAZER...

[@JustTooManyPuppies]

you could probably also use rubbing alcohol to clean it as well

[@fearkubrick5035]

I love this video I got my psp working I love you dude!! THANK YOU X3

[@O.A.K]

Fear Kubrick yea same, nice to play metal slug anthology again xD

[@GalvanPachecoErikGabriel]

[@demonslayer1662]

[@fluffyflufffox1385]

My issue is when I turn on my psp the key icon shows but the switch isn’t down. Issue started this year in mid January

[@kyleplair4929]

Will vegetable oil work?

[@bbk9742]

[@davidhoward8434]

6:15 Fixed

[@MusicHero1997]

[@rahmonsohaib107]

I love psp

[@tonykingman6664]

great video just need to be a little more specific and more detailed for people that dont know how to do this , also people still play on PSP they still rock Technical gamer

[@juliangellica9786]

Does psp have an led indicator for hold?

[@kyrillosg]

Back from the dead!!

[@grahamrsparker]

well the WD-40 worked straight away without taking it apart..I squirted it on to the charge port and Hay presto it worked!!

[@obsoletetrunks]

Really?

[@grahamrsparker]

Yeah,,didn't need to unscrew anything.. still working now.. I sprayed it on moved it up and it worked

[@FnChrisRDZ]

My X button not responding , any suggestions

[@IbanBoi99]

Bruh mine has the light but won’t turn on. Anyone know why? 1000 model

[@eric_t123]

does everything really have to be a slide show?

[@nathandrake3070]

Hey man do you know how to fix a psp that has a new charging port and battery also when the battery has a charge it turns on and works fine but when I attach a charger it doesn’t work also there is no light

[@O.A.K]

Justin Moses yes, you need to open the PSP and push the centre pin into the yellow housing from behind. It sometimes becomes loose and therefore prevent proper contact with the charger. (You're welcome!)

[@thedarkprince6692]

I've got a question: My psp's power button is at the bottom. Is it the same thing?

[@O.A.K]

The Dark Prince not really, different models of the PSP where released. Just search the model number and the problem you have and you should be sorted

[@biharilaszlo]

That works! Thank you for your help!!!!

[@MeltdownxPR]

Mine turns on but then it shuts itself off after a few seconds or less

[@lysunda]

Thx man

[@chokichoki3971]

what im supose to do if my problem is i can use all the button except square,triangle,O,X and.. yup its been a long time since i play it so when i try to input the date/time i cant accept using my X button

[@kishana803]

same problem here dude if you get the answer please share

[@afterlyfe_]

i know me too

[@ivansoo523]

Willy Saputra its some system setting pressing the select button in home screen,but i forgot which one is it,cuz im trying to fix my psp not turning on to😂😂

[@O.A.K]

If your buttons aren't working, try giving them a clean with air duster. If this doesn't work, try WD-40 on the rusted areas. If this too doesn't work, you can easily buy replacement circuit boards off eBay very cheaply. I guarantee that it will work after doing this.

[@akirafudo6128]

"Open this metal cover, carefully." Yeah...put the screwdriver under it and it just basically disintegrated. Lol. Guess I'm buying a new board, instead.

[@GoreXTV]

THANK YOU MAN IN WORKED!

[@miguelx310]

Hey I followed step by step and now my psp is not turning on, could you please reply

[@O.A.K]

miguelx310 if you've done everything in the video exactly and your power switch still doesn't work, you can easily buy a replacement circuit board off eBay very cheaply.

[@danielnogaliza191]

Can you tell me the name of the liquid that you used ...

[@O.A.K]

Daniel Nogaliza WD-40

[@ivnxxmartinez6151]

Goat got it to work !

[@kelkel3940]

help my psp when i press a switch on the light green show but its only take second then power off again help...

[@unknownz9471]

Brick

[@owieflores6424]

+Hariz Danial how to unbrick?

[@dirtypedestrian]

Follow the tutorial. It should fix the problem.

[@O.A.K]

I have this problem with my PSP too. Im gonna try this method as it makes sense that the rust causes that problem

[@Liahoatsmill]

I wan cry for this soldier down, haha haha yes its so dramatic that music.

[@metetaha2013]

hey my power switch doesnt turn on aswell and i tried charging it , no light again but when i take the switch on hold, theres a very little visible light.. what do i do?

[@obsoletetrunks]

I have the same problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

[@williamli4422]

the battery's dead, plus the visible light you mentioned on hold is just a yellow filament under the window

[@bessallin459]

R.I.P. PSP

[@slobodanlang7135]

liquid is likely WD-40 right?

[@O.A.K]

Slobodan Lang yea, it is

[@fearkubrick5035]

Your so helpful but all I need is that spray hmmm....

[@O.A.K]

Fear Kubrick its called WD-40

[@Aily_z]

PSP go work?

[@officialboyj]

Who's reading or watchi g this in 2016😂😂

[@brandyparks8212]

If the power button gone can it get fix

[@O.A.K]

Brandy Parks you can attempt to fix like it shows in this video, but if that doesn't work.. Buy a new power switch circuit board off eBay. Its very easy to replace

[@valeriachavez3889]

What if it doesn’t turn on?

[@elnextengo]

yo solo le ponia el wd40 directo al interuptor

[@fabf3512]

Why was this so depressing

[@0qtist291]

For some reason the screw on top of the power button board is missing. I have a 3000 model, is this normal or...?

[@O.A.K]

Loli Kamui yes its normal. Different PSP models differ slightly. No big deal tho

[@felixsoldevilla2162]

well i try to do that but i cant open the screws then i was so dissapointed but i sprayed the power up button with so much WD-40 then it worked... XD

[@봉봉-i3i]

Felix Soldevilla u only spray on it without opening the psp?

[@rhondagardner8324]

do a video on if the power button is broken what to do

[@O.A.K]

Rhonda Gardner you can buy replacement circuit boards off eBay very cheaply.

[@ryzengaming4506]

I cried 1 drop of tear then I stop cry
