A quick vlog type video covering a faulty PSP I picked up recently. Whilst there's a lot of waffle in there, there are some useful tips that could help you avoid replacing your UMD drive. I very nearly replaced the drive - glad I didn't! It was actually a very quick easy fix and might be a common issue with these.

If you would like to support the channel via Patreon (keep the channel running) - https://www.patreon.com/GadgetUK164 A short live stream - attempting to fix the issue with that DivMMC Future cart. In the previous stream you can see I was having to press it upwards or downwards to get any life out of it. That's not something you should normally have to do, and that pressure could cause the connection pins to break away from the board on any device like this. That said, it wouldn't work for me right from the start - I had it working at some point intermittantly where it once or twice showed the menu, but for the most part I just couldnt get it working on 2 different Spectrums that worked fine with my Lotharek DivIDE interface.
