UMD Drive Problem

[nEoVaLoR]

Hey guys I've run into a problem:
I bought a blue housing, switched into that. Booted the psp, UMD gear started click not spinning. Thought the housing was doing that, kept blue faceplate, returned to stock housing. After that, STILL made the clicking noise. So I cleaned the gears, now they kind of spin, but stil make a loud grinding noise, and it takes much longer for the game to read. But when I was adding leds yesterday, I shorted something, and the gears started spinning about 5x faster for about two seconds, then it shut off! So I'm thinking that it is a power problem, not enough voltage is going to the motor. Is there a UMD fuse or something that I can bridge to restore power or something? Or is there another point where I can borrow voltage from? The gears spin fine manually, but when the motor tries to spin them, all goes bad.. If you have any idea what may be the problem, please shed some light

Personally as a Moder, Remove the Umd, put CFW and download Games and play them much quicker ( Notice: You buy the games before you Download them )

I'm well aware of this... It already has custom firmware on it. And downloading games that I already have on umd doesn't sound like a plan to me..

IDk Ur problem because I am not there but, did you Spill something and If you did short it I doubt thats what will happen.. Maybe the ribbon connector Isn't in properly, trust me check it out. The casing or shorting shouldn't really effect the Umd Drive. Just study your psp Carefully and that should tell you.
Sorry if I am not helping

You aren't really... And I would have told you guys if I spilled something. I realize that you are trying to help, but asking me if the ribbon cable isn't in properly is kind of pointless..
But thanks for trying

But Seriously Check ,, some thing could have fell, into it, Shake your psp to check.
This Might Fix the issue: Move the laser to the other side and test it.

Gah you aren't getting it, i've tried every OBVIOUS answer, that's why i came and asked, and i can't shake my psp it's complete disassembled. It's a problem with the drive gear.

thanks for the offer, i wound up doing a speaker mod, and using 3mm leds in the umd door. I really appreciate your offer, but i've already mounted stuff in the door, i don't feel like cracking it open again. Thanks though!
