How to Insert a Memory Stick into a PSP: Slot Location & Steps by Model

Locate the Slot

• PSP-1000/2000: Right side, behind a sliding plastic flap.
• PSP-3000/PSP Go: Top of the device, accessed by pressing a release button.

Insert the Memory Stick

1. Align the stick so gold contacts face the PSP interior.
2. Gently push until it clicks into place.
3. Close the flap (PSP-1000/2000) or push the compartment shut (PSP-3000/Go).

Important Notes

• Format the Memory Stick for PSP use (via PC or the PSP itself).
• Never force insertion—check alignment if it resists.
• Power off the PSP before inserting or removing the Memory Stick to avoid data corruption or hardware damage.
