Take a look at the slim disassembly tutorial in the tutorial psp section, take apart your psp up to your umd drive, take it out, and replace it with a new one. You can get them off of ebay and probably dx (dealextreme.com)

Also, check the umd swich on the mobo. if that isn't being pressed correctly then you umd drive won't engage.

the mobo (or the umd drive itself) has a swich that when pressed down, activates the umd laser. if that is busted, it won't read the disk. open the psp's umd door (like your going to put a game in) and look to your right from the center of the drive. you will see a little white swich. thats what turns on the umd drive when i disk is inserted.
