Hardware Home button "presses" itself

[zelazzin]

Hey. Just recently, my home button on my psp 2000 has started to "press" itself. I mean that when I'm playing a game it just pops up, just as if I pressed the home button myself. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem, and how can I fix it if it is?
Thanks

my home button on my psp 2000 has started to "press" itself.

All the time, or just at night? Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Could it be possible that some particles got underneath the button, and are setting off the press?

Yeah, I would start from cleaning the button panel, the physical buttons and the case as well as adjusting the ribbon cable before making judgements on whether or not you need a replacement. That, and as it was said earlier, you can re-map your Home button to one of the normally unused buttons or a button combination with plugins to avoid any expenses.
