PSP Problems..

After even just 15 minutes of playing the memory stick heats up, is this normal? And also, when there is a disc in, and a game is loading, it makes some whirring noises.

That doesn't sound normal at all. I've never heard the PSP memory stick heating, but the noises in the UMD drive lead a recent PSP to a dead drive.AlphaEnd

It's probably close to dying out on you i think. But im not sure, I never experienced the heat problem you had but I do know that noises coming from the drive and slow UMD load times usually lead to a dying disc drive.

Isn't it normal for the psp to make occasional whirling noises as the UMD spins?

[QUOTE="fred1712"] well it's not necessarily the memory stick heating up its just the outer shell around that area that gets warm and it makes my hand itchy, and I have a PSP-1000.
