Hardware Psp joystick not responding

[Discord43]

Just got a psp 1000 off ebay and seemed fine, until five minuets after i turned it on then the joy stick stopped working. How do I fix this?

First try fully rebooting the system by taking the battery out for a few minutes. If the stick is still dead at the very least the 1000 is the easiest model to do a stick replacement on.

But if you just bought it off ebay I'd return it and get a working PSP.
