Hello. Its 3 am and i finally repaired UMD Drive lul (4th try in a row - full disassemble assemble). Thank you for your video, really helped. I hate that aluminum bars in the UMD section... I havent replaced a disk-drive, just cleaned and used oil for cogwheels in electrical devices. Psps workin without any hell noises now)

Thank you for your comment! I know what you mean on the UMD aluminum bars. They are tricky and take a while to get them to snap on lol. Thats why I skipped that part since it's tedious for no reason. I'm glad you got your PSP to work with just cleaning it. Sometimes a nice deep clean does the job. Cheers

Great video man! Love how you dont just say to remove it, but how to as well. Also great to remind people to go slow.

I was having trouble with my UMD not spinning but the red laser was working. If you're having the same problem, make sure the the second disc drive ribbon (which is close to the scrren ribbons) is properly connected!

@thetechmost Месяц назад

This is great to know! The "top" ribbon goes to the laser and the "bottom" ribbon goes to the motor. I've had this issue before where only the laser works but the unit doesn't spin. sometimes the motor gears go bad too.

Hey man, I hope you can respond, U have the same psp, and the umd reader of mine seems to work but when I put a disc the psp immediatelyjust says that can't read the umd(the umd spin, the laser moves) but the lever doesn't seems to work (the laser doesn't turn on), my laser is dead or is there other solution (I'm talking about the lever next to the umd spinner btw)

Hii...i got a question hope u respond...there is this pressure sensor on my psp that broke..which component should I buy i order to fix it.....and love the content

@thetechmost 9 дней назад

hi, yeah, If it's the sensor pressed down by the door and UMD disc it might be a difficult one to replace (there are 2 of them on the psp3001). Those are usually soldered to the main board. I had an issue once with the one that is triggered by the UMD. I couldn't replace it but I was able to put it all back carefully. I'm not sure if this helps.

@@thetechmost i think it help ...so this means i wont be able to fix it or i have to get another board?

My laser wasnt powering on thanks for the video! I got the job done.

@daluarc Месяц назад

You had to replace the umd drive or did you found another solution to the laser not powering problem?

@jettvasquez4727 Месяц назад

So my issue is the lil button inside the drive is completely gone n idk if a disc drive replacement will fix it

@thetechmost Месяц назад

Sorry to hear, If I understand correctly I think your right. The motherboard (not the disc drive) has a small button trigger that is pressed when the UMD Disc is inserted. If the trigger is missing it will not activate the disc drive. So yes the drive replacement will not spin and work. I also believe that the psp 3000 has 2 triggers, The other one is a small black button that is pressed down by the door. Both of those triggers need to be pressed in order for the drive to work. I’m not sure why sony did this for the psp3001. The original PSP had only one trigger.
