put it in the psp and go all the way over to settings and look for format memory stick...
yeah reformatting it is probaly the best way...WARNING reformatting it will erase everything off of it.
Is the PSP not being recognized or the just the memory stick? I'd salvage what you can and format the bastard.
anyways, if it is blinking once like every half-second when you stick it in, you have a bent/broken connector in your psp.
If that don't work, FORMAT THE BASTARD! lololololololol.
dude what ever you do dont forrmat your C-Drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That will erase everything on it.
Srry guys, i coudnt c replies. Thx 4 the responses, I cant format by psp or computer. It says my ms not inserted or insert J drive for my comp. I want all my data. Is it possible to transfer the data on the card? And if the connectors are broken, can I fix it? Repair shop? Cleaning?
I know im just backing you up.
Here's another idea...
If you have a modern-day computer or laptop, you can take the card out of your psp, and try to directly connect it to your computer via universal card slot either on the side or front of your computer.
formating is cleaning,if your computer or psp cant recognize it then you cant transfer the data,and im pretty sure a repair shop cant fix the connectors,which is probably your case,broken connectors.

or do you actually mean clean it,and not clean it out.if you mean actual cleanin just get some rubbing alcohol and dip the connectors in it and dry it off after
Physically cleaning it, not formatting it...just to clear it up. He wants to retrieve the data from the card. what good is formatting it if you cant have the data you just formatted.(if you formatted it...)
btw, did you try my last post?
I tried that Z640, buty thx. And thx Blue, now I know people can fix the connectors. And when I ment clean, I ment literally clean like... Rubbing alchol
yea just dip the connectors in some rubbing alcohol and dry it off with a soft,smooth cloth.and im sure if they are broken someone could fix it,just not places like best buy,gamestop,etc.and if you do think its that the connectors are broken make sure they look broken before you go to try and get it fixed,because they'll charge you even if nothing is broken.
Put some alcohol on it :)
hey but when you put the achol on it make sure you get it really dry...for 2 reasons 1. depending on what material your connecters are it could carod them. 2. if you dont dry it good when you put it in your PSP/computer it could not only mess up the mem stick but it could also mess up your psp
Nothing is working. I cant start my PSP since everything runs from mem stick. Even on startup.
For my HACKED psp. I have a recovery startup menu on it. Since mem stick is curropt, it cant run the menu, or anything else, basically its like i bricked it.
oh thats sucks bio... i guess youll be pulling out the pandora battery again...next time keep all of your files backedup on your computer so all you would have to do is copy andpaster on a new mem. stick
I was just going to do my monthly backup, but i put in my comp, it didnt work/psp.
To codex, i hardmod my psp, stp thinking im a nub, ive been hacking 4 years. ANYWAY. The psp is not the problem. Its the stick. Everything runs from stick, like emus, prxs, etc. I know the sticks the prob because i can put that mem stick in my unhacked, and it just constantly blinks. I can put my other hack mem stick in my hacked psp and it works. But it only has music and stuff.
oh ok...well get another mem. stick and copy and pastewhats on your computer to your new mem. stick.
Cant. Computer dosent recognise it. It'll say Please insert drive J or whatever. Y dont u ppl understand?
i know i get what your saying but if you were getting ready to do your monthly backup then you still have the stuff on your computer from when you backed it up last month right?
yeah Blue has a good point if it was corupted it would show up on your computer but nother would be the...or sometimes the stuff might be there but its all damaged.
