Points: 17.47 Donate | | dude im having the same problem and it began yesterday, i only dropped it once like 4 months ago i dont think that has anything to do with it, i was using devhoock41d version and i was using the socom iso and i was online and just turned off with out su=igning off or getting off the wiffi so when i come back i turn it on it works i hear disc moving and the grapg=hics but when i tried o=going to infracture mode it frocze and i restarted it and when it turned back on you no if the umd is there it will autoload well it kinda stood there then turned off by itself, then i took the umd out and turned on then i inserted the umd it took a while to spin it but the it gave the message disc cannot be read so im really mad right now because i can play my umds or iso's even in dev hook i put noumd mode and it wont work it will just go to the main menu and wont freaking work.  <im not sure but i think that my problem was a result of using devhook> |

Try to move it (JUST A LITTLE BIT!) and then it might work.
Note: My PSP was making some noises like toc, toc ,toc. It was the laser trying to move. And I'm not responsible for any damage! I've restored my PSP twice with this little trick! |
