PSP Repair: X Button Not Functioning

We received a great question from a customer about a PSP. The X button is not functioning. Is it the motherboard?

I have personally never seen a motherboard problem cause the X button to malfunction. Since it is the most commonly used button on American PSPs, there are three different things that can cause the X button to stop working. I will start from the most common and work my way down to the least common.

1. The circuit board or circuit ribbon under the X button could have worn out. This is the most common issue we have seen causing the X button to stop functioning. Click Here for the PSP 1001 ABXY Circuit Board. Links to the 2001, 3001 are in this item also.

2. The rubber pad under the X button has worn out. I have seen this so badly worn out that a hole was in the rubber pad! The rubber pad sits right under the X button. Click Here for PSP 1001 Rubber Pads. The PSP 2001 and 3001 buttons have the rubber pads built in. Click Here for the PSP 2001 buttons. Click Here for PSP 3001.

3. Finally, the button itself may have broken. I have only seen this a few times and it will only be on the PSP 1001 model. Again, the 2001 and 3001 have the buttons and rubber backing as one piece. Click Here for PSP 1001 Buttons. Click Here for the PSP 2001 buttons. Click Here for PSP 3001.
