| I recently dropped my PSP off a chair, and now it won't always play games all the time. Sometimes, you can play the game for a little while, but it will eventually freeze. When you attempt to restart the game, it will flash "cannot read disc". If you leave it off for a while, it will read the disc and you can start playing the game again (albeit, not for long). Occasionally, it will read "the game could not be started (80010087)". Any ideas? This thing keeps me occupied while I am on the crapper at work, and I don't want to go back to reading magazines just yet... |

I would install custom firmware and just rip the game to your memory stick and play off of that. Definitely sounds like the UMD drive is dead. You might be in luck though, since Sony is going to start making the games for digital download like Patapon 2.
What model do you have? |

Honestly. I had about the same problem when i dropped mine. I searched and searched and finally found something that worked. Not only did it work, but there are hundreds of comments from people who dropped theirs that were able to fix it. Solution? Drop it from about a foot onto a hard surface on the opposite side from where it dropped. No really. It worked for me and plenty of other people. Oh. And if your a real psp nut, homebrew and custom firmware FTW. |
