Has anyone got any ideas why the games on my daughters PSP won't load?, she puts the game in and the white circle whizzes round and there is a noise at back as if its loading up but nothing happens.

Already tried


Tried cleaning the game
Tried resetting the PSP
Restored default settings

    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    theres a lens inside the PSP (like you have on a CD player DVD etc.....if thats dirty it won't play games but this would be unlikely if other games play

    We've no idea what the firmware is?, think this maybe beyond our technical ability/understanding

    i'm sure it has a reset button.....or you can plug it up to a PC and update the firmware

    its very easy....go into the settings of the PSP and it should say system update

    How long have you had it, if under a year take it back to the shop or website and get a refund/replacement
