Looking to have my PSP repaired, who should I turn to?

Any ideas?

I've been on qj.net forums since 2005 and I went back there after a LOOOONG non-psp hiatus looking for help, but the forums seem to be completely over run with idiots and people who cannot help with anything :/

I used to be really into hacking, well, not HACKING but downloading other users content to hack my PSP. Honestly the most I ever did was make some custom backgrounds for some emulators and cavestory.

But some of the struts that hold the case together are broken so I'd like a new frame for it, maybe a hard modded d-pad (I did one myself but I'd like it done professionally) and a new analog nub as the one I currently have, and is the reason I stopped using it, drifts around constantly. Making it impossible to play commercial games. I have a pretty big UMD library but they are pretty much unplayable without the analog nub.

To fix this though I just made my PSP emulator only and downloaded a program called joysens.prx to turn off the analog nub completely, but still it's annoying.

So I'd happily send it away to have someone professional look at it. Anyone have any prior experience in having their PSP repaired?

I had the same problem with the analog nub (it would sometimes stick in one direction. My characters kept walking on their own). The reason for it was because the lower screw left case screw is missing, which meant that the case was a bit loose and the contact between the motherboard and the analog nub (which is screwed to the front faceplate) is not consistent.

Just replace the faceplate and make sure the screws are secure, but not too tight, and you'll see the problem go away. It was a very simple solution. I originally thought there was something wrong with the nub itself and ruined one because I disassembled it, but can't put back the springs.
