I have a psp 1001, and whenever I get ready to play MLB 09 the show the buttons don't respond and the psp shuts down. Also sometimes when I start up my psp it just shuts down by itself, and the battery is fully charged too. I've tried formatting my memory stick, but that only worked for a very short period of time. So if anyone can help me with this just let me know, and thank you very much.

well I had it a 5.50 gen d3 and it was still doing the same thing and I had gen d3 on there for a while, but I can give it a try again to see if that will work thanks.

Well I tried installing it but my psp just shut downed by itself, and the battery was fully charged too

Maybe you should switch to 5.00 M33-6 because the Gen firmware does say that it may create problems for the phat psps. Try it out.

See I started off with 5.50 gen d3, and it started freezing on me and the buttons didn't respond so then I downgraded to 5.00 m33-6 and the exact same thing was happening there. And today I tried to update it back to 5.50 gen d3 but my psp just turned off by itself and now its bricked. But thanks anyway icejack1

There are a few factors in play here that could possibly cause this.

1. PSP Flash Writing/Reading
2. MS Reading/Writing
3. Corrupted Power Transfer between PSP and Battery

Solutions

1. Back Up your Flash and Format it. If your PSP isn't able to correctly read and write files coming from your Flash Memory, then you most likely have a corrupted MOBO.

2. Corrupted MS, MS has large files on it and the PSP RAM can't read them all. You can try to keep your MS as a MMS and see if this helps. Make sure to keep your Sony released OFW of your CFW in your MMS at all times.

3. This is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed via software or simple procedures. This is also known to be a "Semi-Fried" PSP.

If you bricked your PSP, then you can follow one of many guides on this site. I have a guide which I made myself in the PSP Tutorials section. Feel free to ask any questions if you have any.

Okay it is bricked but now each time I try to unbrick it all the psp does is shut down, and like I said earlier the battery is fully charged and I even had it on the charger and the psp still shuts down by itself

[dgamerxx]

Well I unbricked it but now the buttons barely resopnd at all now thanks you guys

Could be that your PSP buttons are worn out. But that needs opening of your PSP. There is a Tpoic on how to Open and remove components of your PSP by USMarine. Go and check it out.

If its not worned out, then it is still your Firmware that is causing this.

It could not be your firmware at all, have you ever dropped your psp? we all have by mistake maybe you've dropped your psp so hard or much that you could have ruptured something that is causing your buttons to not work and your psp to not work your probably going to have to take a look inside and see whats happening in there I think Marine posted a topic that shows easily how to disassemble your psp

Understanding that its not caused by the buttons if you think about it his psp is crashing buttons wont crash your psp (as Marine told me) theres something wrong that is causing the buttons to not work and the psp to crash theres somthing wrong with his system firmware and buttons dont have a part in this

[GTReventon]

Well Its a PSP 1000. His buttons are probably worn out because of his PSP's age of use. Im thinking about the possibilities here and you could be right that its not his firmware's problem and its his PSP it self's problem.

[dgamerxx]

It could be that I've had my psp for a long time and the buttons are getting worn out but thanks for all of your help everyone

[GTReventon]

Well if your sure that your buttons are worned out. You can go and open your PSP and replace with new rubber for your buttons. Go and check USMarine's Topic about that. If you can't do it yourself ask someone.

you didnt read my comment fully friend his psp is crashing has nothing to do with buttons being worn out now he has probably dropped his psp to where he messed up something in his system that is making his buttons and psp to crash

Yes. That could be the problem. And Im not telling that the buttons cause his PSP problems. He said it himself.

The buttons aren't causing your PSP to crash. Something is causing your PSP to misread the buttons and makes it crash. Which buttons don't respond? The right face buttons, the plate buttons or the arrow buttons?
If it's all of them, then it's the MOBO.

He doesnt know what is going on
