!!! [ SOLVED ] !!!
PSP Slim
Motherboard model: TA-085 v2
Motherboard type: Slim 2003 (02g)
UMD firmware ver.: 1,240ANov10 ,2006
PSP verison: Slim v1.1
After years of use, PSP started acting weird. Every time I try to start an application (games, programs, updates...) the PSP just shuts down. It also makes noises like it is trying to read UMD every time I run something, you can hear that on this video:

Things I tried to reapir it:
- I did not installed any plugins
- reset device
- format memory stick with windows and PSP
- downgrade to 6.20
- upgrade to 6.60
- hellcast recovery flasher
- psp key cleaner
then I found the [ SOLUTION ]
- making pressure on a exact spot of the PSP housing
you have to keep pressure with your finger on the right PSP button and ALSO some of the housing under right PSP button
like shown here:

After making pressure there, the noises of UMD stops and everything works fine. But you have to make pressure there all the time to make it work wich can get anoying as it does not work every time.
My [ SOLUTION ] to this was cuting some thin rubber/foam (2 peaces) and puting it on a chip inside PSP.

First you have to disassemble the PSP:

Please be extra carefull when you do this. Disassemble the PSP on a clean surface so in case a screw or a connector peace drops out of PSP you don't loose it or forget to place it back ...there is this rubbery thingy on the connector of PSP joystick wich fall off and I did not noticed. All games were then going right and the joystick was not working. It took some time for me to figure out what went wrong as I am not an expert
Now everything works! Also the noises of UMD spining are gone.
Thank you everybody for help! I also hope people who have tha same problem will find this and fix it
