When ever I load my umd into the drive it doesn't register. I don't load the game, get to start the game you must update the system software or anything. It just makes noises like it's stuck and won't read at all.
I've tried Sony's pages but they don't help at all. What I am wondering though is this covered in the warranty?

My Mood:  | | | | That happened to my psp to.. fw 1.5, I just pressed lightly on the back of the umd drive with my palm (hand, right?) and it read the disk then, but I only used it to boot isos, because it could constantly read the disk to play it.
I just got it replaced in the store I bought it, got a 2.01 back |
