I have mentioned in one of my beardguyish threads that my PSP's analog stick is acting a little fucky. After going thru 3 replacement parts, I found out that the stick is fine, and the problem is that the stick's circuit board is not making contact with the psp motherboard because the screwholes were stripped and could no longer hold the faceplate together. The solution was easy, I just took out all the screws and held the plates together using electrical tape, which worked for a while, but in time the tape was sliding off and I think the sticky substance was melting off due to heat.

Is there another way I can hold the faceplate firmly in place, short of buying a new faceplate and motherboard (which has stripped screwholes as well).

Mxy cut off my allowance because he caught me masturbating on a Megan Fox poster.

Honestly, I didn't know it was Megan Fox. I thought I was wanking off to an Angelina Jolie poster.

Just get a new faceplate. Try finding a mom and pop game shop that buys and sells systems. They'll probably have a spare to sell.

Or you could try threading the screw holes all over again with a slightly larger sized screw.
