Hi, I have a PSP Street and I'm having this issue with the Home button: it's like it's always pressed.
At the beginning I thought to replace the front bar but I noticed the I have the same issue even if I remove the bar from the motherboard.
This issue prevent me from using a permanent firmware because if you power on the psp pressing the home button it boots up with the OFW instead of the CFW.
Also, if I start an emulator or any other game it keeps opening the menu because it's mapped to the home button.
In another thread @Foxi4 suggested to disassemble the unit and give it a good scrub because the HOME trace may be shorting to ground somewhere.
I'll give it a try and post here the result so if anyone else will have the same issue may find a solution.
If someone's tips about how to check for possible shorting to ground or how to clean the motherboard avoiding to break some stuff I'll be glad to hear your opinion.
Thank in advance.
