The right arrow was not working on my D-pad so I bought some parts to fix my PSP-1000. At first it did not work, but after taking it apart again I go the whole system to work.
bro i struggled with this for hours and search all of you tube and found nothing but i figured it out the problem was the psp ips housing remove the metal plate and make sure that it is actually placed correctly
I had the same issue in that my left d-pad button would not work but the others did. I removed the outer casing, screen and dpad unit as per this video. I then used 100% isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud/q-tip to clean the exposed contacts on the ribbon cable, and reseat and attach the cable. Whilst in there I also cleaned the d-pad contact pads which were pretty dirty. This worked for me and I did not have to replace the d-pad unit. Hopefully this is useful for anyone with the same issue!
Did you try cleaning the dpad contacts w alcohol? I’ve worked on many psps but never had to replace the dpad. I just wash the buttons rubber contact w soap n water and qtip n alcohol the whole board especially the home buttons and it worked every time there was dpad button malfunction.
hey I have the literal same exact problem with my psp. I ordered a new ribbon cable and it has the same issue. What did you do on the 2nd time around? Did you just fiddle with the parts? I've taken mine apart 3 times and just cant seem to get it. Any tips would be appreciated.
So installing the new D-pad fixed the problem but near the end of the video when it didn’t work it was actually the joy stick causing the issue as well. I bought an aftermarket joystick and I was reading that they tend to be faulty. So I installed my original joystick and with the new D-pad (with new rubber pads) and that is what fixed the issue.
@@niccolosaurus5530I had the same issue but I saw the Problem the metal bar wasn't fitted correctly so I fixed it and boom it started working. but then my original joystick left the chat. and bought an aftermarket one didn't have a problem it's back almost new just a new body plate left.
