Razor Nub - Image 1 


For those of us having issues with the self-centering Razor nub - namely, about the spring we have to fiddle around with to get that second nub to center itself - anteroom123 has come up with a handy solution, and one that doesn't involve any sort of dodgy PSP surgery. It's a bit ingenious, really, involving only a steady hand with a sharp knife and one of those small rubber bands used in braces.

So how does one replicate the function of a spring with a small rubber band, but without the hassle? Here's how to do it. For this rubber band trick, you'll need the following:
  1. Your PlayStation Portable, of course.
  2. A Razor PCB
  3. PSP Analog or Digital Nub
  4. A cutting tool (dremil or a knife)
  5. One rubber band. The small but strong kind. The ones used in braces will do just fine.
If you've got all the items required, then we're all set. The first step is to make four diagonal cuts on opposing sides of the PCB - be careful with the knife while you're doing so. After that, stretch the rubber band over the cuts, then slide a small washer underneath the rubber band. This will hold the washer firmly against the PCB - just make sure that the washer itself is on the copper side before you do so.

After that, it's simply a matter of putting the nub back on and seeing if it re-centers with the help of the rubber band. If not, try again. If it does, yay! It's simpler than it sounds, and you should head on over to the thread itself for the step-by-step guide via the Read link below.

Kudos to zbblanton and anteroom123 for coming up with a handy alternative to fiddly spring application!
