All of my UMDs are perfect, except for Tekken, i`ve tried with all of them, but the problem seems to be the Laser Unit.

I`m gonna ask for some tech help next Friday, and see what happens, if not i think i`ll have to buy a Slim ( wich i wanted anyways)

Perhaps somebody dropped it without me knowing :/

Anyways, i made a little research, i`ve found this:

http://www.consolezombie.com/PSP/PSP_Laser_Replacement.html

They describe the symptoms, just what my PSP has!

They also say how to repair it, i`ve never done this before, but i think i`ll try since i`m not dumb enough to mess it up, if i screw up i will get it repaired anyways, if not then i`ll buy a Slim.

Thanks for the reply

Hey guys, so i`ve had my PSP since october 2006, never dropped it to the ground or anything, keep it nice and take good care of it, has Sony`s Official Firmware and all.

Well, it`s been a good 4 Months since it has had this problem, sometimes it wont read UMDs, i hear the noises the reader does, the clicking and spinning, but just wont read it, i tried myself pressing the gray switch and i could see all the movement but no laser, that just sometimes...because sometimes i saw the laser and i could insert the UMD again and begin playing

But it`s been 4 days already and it wond read UMDs anymore, has this ever happened to any of you?

What did you do?,did you get it repaired?, what was the problem?

hotmail used to work, but they did some update and now it dosent, it sucks, but im not sure which one ur tlking bout :SSGT4EVA

Use : mobile"dot"live"dot"com

You have Hotmail and Messenger, and it works awesome

however, Gmail is the way to go with the PSP, i`ve used it countless times!

My PSP was with me when i went to Paris, and is here with me now that i moved

I take it with me everywhere

7% of it as of now.

Thanks for the news, i wouldnt have checked out today myself, was being lazy

Yeah, i don`t go nowhere without it.

Forgot to add that my Memory Stick was also 4GB, but i guess you figured it out.

I`m gonna have to travel a lot now that i`m moving to another city, so PSP will continue to be my best travel buddy

It`s just a matter of doing the maths on how heavy is your media by example:

Your average picture x how many pictures you want to hold

Your average song x how many do you need to keep you entertained

In the movies department i can help you, i got The End Of Evangelion movie, it`s 649 MB and lasts over an hour and half i think, and it`s DVD Quality i`ll check it out after my PSP is done downloading something from the PSN Store, i`ll come back,

So to give you an idea of how much entertainment it holds well, i have over 500 pictures, like 60 Songs, about 20 short videos, 1 Movie, over 10 demos and it had left like 2 Gigs, but i`ll check out in a few moments.

OK after some movements it ended up like this:

Pictures about 500

Music: 60 Tracks ( just my favorite ones)

Movies And Video : 19 Short videos and 1 Movie ( 1:25, 650 MB) about 2 Hours of video total.

Games/Demos: 20 Demos, some are heavy, like 400 MB, some very light, like 40 MB

I still have left like 700 MB, not too bad for my Need, i keep in mind that my PSP is mainly for Gaming.
