Hardware Sleep Mode makes the PSP shut down.

[-Hero-]

As the title says, every time I make the PSP go in Sleep Mode, it turns off completely rather than saving my progress to resume it later, it's always fully charged too.

It's a PSP 3000 w/ CFW 6.20 PRO-C2.

Is there some sort of fix for this?

You sure you slided the power switch quickly only? not keeping it held? Because that shouldn't happen for sure

Obviously.

It still turns off, I'm not joking either.

I had a PSP 1000 before and it didn't have this problem.

I would want to help you, but I never heard of this kind of issues sorry. I hope you find a solution.

I'm relatively certain this is a hardware issue, but try something relatively basic first: delete the seplugins folder from your PSP and reinstall the CFW from scratch. This will help eliminate the possibility that a rogue plugin is at fault. If that doesn't help, well, unfortunately, it's likely a hardware issue that will only be remedied by actually opening the PSP, figuring out what precisely is wrong with the switch, and replacing pieces as needed.

To note, I had a bit of a lemon of a PSP I bought with the same issue (among others). I never was able to properly diagnose all of its issues, but I was reasonably certain that due to the nonfunctional UMD drive, the PSP had likely been dropped while in sleep and something broke by the power switch.

Yeah I guess this is a hardware problem since I did what you said, not going to bother opening it.

Thanks for the answer.
