this is for those people who's psp camera won't connect correctly. I hacked my camera to fix this. I had to push down on the side that didn't connect with a screw, so I added another screw on that side.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR CAMERA IS DAMAGED OR BROKEN IN THE PROCESS. THIS IS A HIT OR MISS PROJECT. DON'T TRY THIS IF YOUR CAMERA DOESN'T CONNECT EVEN WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN THE SIDE.
UPDATE: I actually, since making this, have broken, then re-bought a new camera. the camera had the same problem, so I looked at the motherboard and, sure enough, a solder connection had come undone. I resoldered it, and the camera works fine now. try that before doing this and probably adding to the problem.

you will need only a few things for this:
a drill
a dremel (you could use this as your drill)
a bolt that fits your psp (these are hard to find, I got mine from a packet of spare parts for my drill)
a small screwdriver (I actually used a nail for a screwdriver, because the screws are so small)
sorry I don't have a real picture, I forgot to take one.

It's a camera that attaches via usb. it costs about fifty dollars to buy one. I actually need to update this, I only made a workaround, not a fix....

wait.. I misunderstood what you meant. the psp camera has a few extra prongs that are needed. I think they tell the psp that it's a legit camera. oh well.
