Question I have two PSP systems that don't play games. Everything else works but the little UMD icon when game is inserted does not show up.
Answer Hi,
Most likely the UMD triggers inside the drives are either broken or missing but it shouldn't be a big deal to fix them. To give you an idea my shop charges $59 to replace a drive trigger and in alomost every instance that's all that's needed to get the PSP operating perfectly again. Thanks, Lynn
