Problem with replacing the right conductive film

Hi everyone, I'm repairing my PSP 3004, which had broken X and Square buttons.

I ordered a replacement conductive film and reinstalled it, but using a control testing tool, I noticed that the R2 button was having phantom presses (it would press and release randomly).

So, I bought a new conductive film, thinking it was broken. I installed it, but I'm having the exact same problem. This time, the problem is with the Triangle and Circle buttons...

I checked the flat cable, and it's perfectly inserted and straight. Has anyone had a similar problem with their PSP? I don't know how to fix it.

I purchased this model, which is specified for 3000 models. It's the second one I've purchased, and I've changed suppliers.

The problem specifically occurs when I glue the film onto the console. Before gluing it, I connected both flat cables, and everything works fine. Once glued, the problems begin...

The film is perfectly centered (it follows the plastic pins for positioning).

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Thank you for the update! That's probably it. I never glue it in, I just simply put it on the tape leftovers. I recommend doing that and see if that fixes it.

Hi!

Are you sure that you have the correct model?

Since the issue changes all the time (beginning it was X and O, then R1 and now the triangle and O again), indicates that it probably is the conductive film…

Where do you buy them? I would try a different seller and try again.. usually it is the conductive film that is broken in this case.
