PSP Screen Problem/Loading Problem. Anyway to fix?

My friend gave me a psp 3004 and the screen would sometimes glitch on boot up, i tried to fix it by changing the screen and battery but it still happens and requires me to reset the psp constantly. Problem developed further because the screen occasionally flickers and gets stuck during loading screens and when i try to exit a game (Dracula X Chronicles)

changed a save file and added a new game and this happened when i booted up the console again

If i leave it on for too long it crashes

Hello, @nimeniphrog

This may be a GPU chip failing, as you have already tried to replace the battery and screen and both have not fixed the problem. You might have to give it a brand new motherboard either from eBay or Aliexpress, or try to find a donor PSP to replace the motherboard with it.

Good luck,

Hey, thanks for the suggestion just curious about any recommended vendors for getting the motherboard? My PSP is a 3004 and i don't really wanna risk buying from a untrustworthy seller. Thanks!

Hi!

I agree, it seems GPU related. Especially when you did replaced the screen already.

I'm afraid that there are not many options available. I think your best bet would be AliExpress. They are for sale there and usually work just fine.
