Troubleshooting PSP 3000 power issue

[CapitanRooster]

I have an issue with my PSP 3000 being unable to fully turn on. Everytime I hit the power switch the PSP will boot into its normal screen but after a few seconds it shuts off.

I've already replaced the battery and charged it up to 100%. The PSP will still boot normally about 5% of the times that I hit the power switch. I'm wondering if a power switch replacement will fix the issue or if I should cut my losses and just buy a different model.

interesting. I have a 3001, and haven't had that type of problem. If only my friend @Nikokaro were on, I would have referred you to him, but I haven't seen him in awhile on here. sorry

Hi uncle, how are you? I am always here, even if you don't see me, watching over all of you; mention my name (as indeed you have done) and I will come without delay.

Try playing without the battery inserted, psp plugged into the charger in your home socket. Does it turn on normally? If so, it could be a problem with the battery having inadequate amperage (not voltage), as often happens with cheap chinese batteries.

Turn the PSP on, then immediately switch it to the "hold" position.

If it stays on, the switch will need to be replaced. If not, your problem is somewhere else.

Did you show your psp at the service center?

I tried with the only charger plugged in and get the same issue with it not booting up properly.

I also tried this and it stayed on so I think I need to get a replacement power switch. Thanks!
