Memory Stick Madness


Recommended Posts

I bought a PSP from a friend (hereby rendering Warranties Useless).. okay. I got a 1GB Lexar Memory Stick with the PSP and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. One day I was transfering music to the memory stick but not via USB (since I never got a cable) but my PC had a card reader so it was in there. When I was done, like always, inserted I attempted to nudge out the memory stick. It got slightly stuck but came out. The plastic frame cracked but the Metal Tabs WERE NOT DAMAGED. I was thankful. I teared off the hangin plastic knowing it would NOT affect the MS. I it in the PSP...and it worked. I later wanted to put something else into the MS. So I attempted to Eject it but it was stuck ???? I was really scared to pull on it too hard but eventually it came out and it lost another Plastic frame...(the little black plastic lining the gold plated edge of the MS). I tore yet the 2nd piece. It worked fine in the PC. I put it in the PSP....IT DIDN'T WORK!!! I ejected and inserted upto 100s of times over multiple curses and it did not work. I tried it the next day in 3 other of my friends PSP and it worked flawlessy....???? Okay. Maybe the PSP was damaged internally the time it got stuck...I tested this with 5 other Memory Sticks and? THEY ALL WORKED flawlessly. Okay. It was maybe the MS and my specfic PSP I though. I went out and bought an OFFICIAL Magic Gate Compatible Real 4GB Sony MS. I popped it in and OMG! It didn't work. I popped in out and in again for 4 more attempts and BAM! It works??? Ok. So I was satisified. I turned off the PSP and turned irt back on and that dreaded orange Light was flashing (like the day my 360 died) and the MS was not being read. Afeter 20 reinserts it worked. I was listening to music when it suddenly stops and says CANNOT READ FILES and shows muktiple Corruption ICons where my music was supposed to be. So I reformtted in my PC since it did not work on my PSP. I formatted it as FAT32. But now....I has not worked since. Only the damned Ornage Light and no MS detected. I was so ****ed last night I snaped MLB 07 UMD and threw it out the window. I really want help. This is very detailed so I don't get asked questions. My firmware is 3.71. Please help.

its completely unreadable, if you want help your going to have to fix your paragraph formatting.

no one is going to read a giant blob of text, it gives me a headache.

all i can say is, try a different memory card and if it works stick to it?? like for example one of the 5 different MS's you tried which worked... stuck memory card = bad news ....

I'm sorry, do you write English, but read French? Stop being so picky, the guy is obviously frustrated (something you would know if you took 2 minutes to read it) and typed it up in a rush in order to get help.

As for the OP, according to your post, your problems seem really randomized. There's know way I could tell the source of the problem without having a look at it myself.

I wil try to send it in to Sony. :( THis is really making me sad. Also, my friend said I can "buy" a warranty for EB Games or any other Major Games Retailer....then "accidentally" break it to get a replacement. Would this work?

yeah.. same here

proper formating should be like a requirement for posting.?white?spaces?are?your?f:yes:?:yes:

Lazy people >:hmmm::hmmm:

yeah... you are the lazy one in this case.

The least you could do since you are asking for help is to format your text in an eye pleasing way.

Or at least break it into paragraphs...

Would YOU read a block of text with over 10 stright lines and not line breaks what so :no:? :no:

I don't even take this from my friends when they IM me :p

anyhow... back to your issue...

Can't really help you since it hurts to read past the 3rd line (sorry :( )

That is only if you purchase the system from the retaier. Since you bought it from your friend, you are not able to purchase an extended warranty from any retailer.

"Accidental" plans from Best Buy and Circuit City can cost over 1/2 the price of the product.
