Gametown Repair Replacement Button Thumbstick Analog Stick Joystick for PSP 2000 2001 2002 2003

Finally I got my psp running and working properly thanks!!

This part was successful in replacing a bad analog stick on my psp 2000. It took me a couple tries to get everything setup correct inside the unit but it works now. PROTIP - On the original analog stick you will need to take a small clear rubber part off the old stick and put it into the new one, this makes the contacts correctly input the movement! The part is very small and easy to lose so make sure to take it off the old joy stick and put it onto the new one during the repair.

Joystick was broken

Works just like intended. The only thing is to remember to remove the little rubber conductor from your broken thumb stick and add it to the new one or it won’t work properly on the PSP 2000.

*Important Flaw at bottom of review, please read this if you intend to buy* Item came quickly, looked new or at least very well kept-up. Replaced it in a PSP Darth Vader edition I found that no-one claimed which had some kind of joycon drift/damage that caused menus to uncontrollably move around. After fiddling with this one and a few YouTube vids, I got it replaced and troubleshooted to where it seemed to work normally finally. *The Flaw: This does *not* come with a clear, rubber/silicone piece thats used to complete the connection on the PSP. The piece goes on top of the copper contacts that you see to the right in the picture, without this youll likely experience what another reviewer did in that it scrolls up indefinitely. Once I took the plastic piece off my old psp and laid it sticky side down, it worked just fine. This piece is very easy to miss and I only remembered based on that other persons review and comparing the two sticks.
