So I was in the middle of playing a Picodrive on my psp 3006 (Snatchers) when I tried to move the analog stick (to bring up my Picodrive options menu on my emulator to save state where I was at when the PSP suddenly froze on itself. I simply turned off my PSP and turned it back on when it suddenly went in to Recovery Menu. I tried to navigate around the menu and each time I move up with the Dpad to select any options it immediately moves my options arrow to the bottom of the screen. Eventually I discovered something strange. If I ever hold down the right or left trigger on the Dpad it will keep my arrow in place but I do not know how to select any of the options in the recovery menu. I tried pushing every button under the sun in any combination but absolutely nothing works -_-; I have 6.61 PRO Infinity and my motherboard is TA-095v2. Does anyone know how to fix this? I see these options on the recovery menu if this helps at all.

It's actually not stupid, but rather a very odd issue. Assuming the repair shop is correct about the PSP not having a hardware issue, it would seem to be either the memory stick or flash1 somehow corrupted itself. Can you not access the XMB at all?

Brother insidexdeath, I cannot bro. The moment it goes to recovery mode, I cannot do anything at all, I press X and O, nothing responding. The only thing responding is Dpad and that is it.
I also try to boot by holding L trigger, but no display at all. Also when I am trying to reset by pressing square, triangle, start, select, nothing responding and it quickly goes to recovery menu

Ok this may be stupid, but try switching your PSP on without the memory stick, and see if anything is responding.

I would also try the Square, Triangle, Start, and Select combination without the memory stick, and see if that solves anything.

Tried it just now, bro. It still goes to recovery mode. I tried this solution from pspmod http://www.pspmod.com/forums/psp-di...overy-menu-buttons-wont-work-either-help.html

It doesn't work either
Unfortunately I have nothing useful to add. I guess you could remove the battery and leave it for a week, the PSP will restore itself to factory settings when you recharge it.

I would also check if the R button is internally being pressed as it is quite close to the dpad board, and that may be the reason why it keeps going down, and booting into recovery menu automatically. I advise you to check a different hardware store, maybe the previous one is mistaken. Have him/her also try to boot the PSP when it's opened up. Good luck.

Hi Everyone. Sorry for making such a scene on Saturday. My PSP is fixed now. The diagnosis is the same as brother insidexdeath diagnosed, which is R trigger kept pressed. I go to an expert shop and got it changed and now everything is normal again.

Problem solved. Hi, to administrator or moderator. Kindly lock this help asking thread. Thank you for brother insidexdeath for the help and CatmanFan for responding to this thread.

Man i have the same issue as of today. But i figure it out. You just need to replace your right flex ribbon. Because the flex ribbon thats on the right shoulder button is faulty. It's putting input non stop. You can bypass the promod boot by just pressing all of the button and analog simultaneously like a mad man. Then if you success booting it up, go to settings and go to system setting then nickname. You can see how abnormal the input of a faulty flex ribbon. Then try to replace it. Sorry for my english I'm not a navite speaker. I just tried to share what i found for this tread.

    on screen keys would be cool but the gba screen is pretty tiny though :(

    would be way better for menu options
