d-pad moves by itself o.o help needed thankyou

[TeaBubblez]

hey. my d-pad seems to have a ghost, in which it moves by itself. even when i remove the ribon from the "mb", it still continues to move instead of stopping. This problem only occurs when i start playing a game, but not during xmb. Hope that you can help me.

Thanks,

Wow, that's a mad problem you have. I'm not sure what to recommend. When did this start? have you taken apart/dropped/Modded the console recently?

I'd check to d-pad ribbon port to see if there is any pins that are out of place, however i've never heard of that happening. The other thing you could try is re-flashing your PSP firmware. It maybe a FW problem so reinstalling it would fix it.

well , i have limited knowledge on these things. i dont think that the pins are out of place because they work in xmb which should means that ingame it should work aswell. i tried downgrading it . ill try fixing it again den. it happend after i reopened the psp to fix one of the leds in which were broken

now theres 2 possiblities: either a ) i have replace the analog module, or b ) the rubber on the right

does it matter which side the rubber is facing the mb?

My D-Pad creeps around too. I thought it was a bad joystick and removed that, but it still creeeps to the left on its own.

*its the nub
*yes it does matter which sides, if you look very closely you can see small dots/line in the rubber.
*it happen because
1)got some dirt on the rubber
2)the rubber doesnt come in contact evenly with the mobo
