My "R" button on my psp wont work, it's like stuck or something, when im playing a game like ape escape, the r button is to crouch and im always crouching cause of the r button.
Hi Erikthug22,
You will have to open up your PSP to get to the contacts of the R button.
this was incredibly helpful!!!thank you!!!the reasone i wanted it fixed is because it was a limited edition God of War PSP
Thanks for these helpful tips. I had this problem with my L button being constantly pressed, and I couldn't navigate the home menu. Took the PSP apart, pealed apart the pad for the L button, cleaned off all the sticky tape that was full of dust etc, and now it works!

You can tap it kinda hard and it pops in back in to place but if you to hard your psp will break.
You have to push it harder and harder up and down in rythm up and down do this for about ten minites and it shoud work but if it doesent the problem isn't the same as myne....
thanks and goodluck

I just keep pushing it down rly hard or push it against my desk for a couple secongs then it works normly but dont press it down to hard or u will jam it.
also i want to try taking on the faceplate but i dont have the right screwdriver so wat else could i use as one instead of buying it because i dont have any other screws that small so i would only use it once :(
Where is the best place to fix the "r" button on the psp.would it be expensive tp fix it.
My psp had fallen of the table, and i had turned the psp on to see if it was okay, i was playing MPO and i found that my R button was pushed in...so i got on here to see for help, and i saw the comment for instructions on how to open the case and clean it out, i was about to do that, but luckly i kept reading, and saw comment number 7...i had done what he said, push the buttom up and down kinda hard, in a pattern, my R buttom worked normally again =D
Mine Does it to
Im thinking about taking it apart myself
This solution worked a treat.
Make sure that you are out of warrenty though, as you have to peel a label off in the battery bay that voids your warrenty.
Also, if you are finding sony a pain, just be persistent, and insistent.
When i got my brand new PSP, it had three dead pixels in the middle of the screen. I rang sony who told me that my $300 purchase was not faulty and that they were not responsible. Needless to say i kept pushing the point with the guy on the phone, and demanded to speak to his manager.
I then got the response i wanted and they sent me an email with a bar code which i took to australia post and 1 week later i had a new PSP.
Keep up the good fight and thanks for the help
Alright i just fixed my i was hitting the R button on my knee like 3 times it fixed it idk if it will go back ill post here if it does
The rubber is on a small metal frame that is held in place by a black tab. You slide the frame out from the tab and then lift up.
SOURCE: psp
This occurs sometimes when you get either dust or some other substance built up inside of the system under the button. If you spilled some sort of liquid on it that would definitely cause it.
Either way, you can open the system up and clean off the dust or sticky substance, but I would not recommend doing it yourself unless you are familiar with these devices. It is best to take it to a local computer or gaming console repair shop. I am sure they would not charge you much to fix it. If you feel that you would like to try it yourself then here is a link that will show you step-by-step(with pictures) how to take the system apart.

the r butten won't work
My PSP's R button is always on. If im playing a fighting game and R is Block my guy will always be blocking. (to exit games with this problem go to home then put hold on then off then the buttons will flash and you can select yes or no)
The problem with mines is that the R button is not physically stuck but it "electronically" is stuck. For example: I'm playing GTA Liberty City Stores and the R button is used for aiming while on foot, and hand brakes while in vehicle. Please help!
