"One down.."

One more to go! My PSP is getting replaced tomorrow with a brand new one from Sony because my old one had a huge white cluster of dead Pixel(s) which developed in the bottom right of the screen, also there are loads of dust particles behind the screen and the main annoying problem was sometimes when I pressed up on my D-Pad it just wouldn't do anything. So playing Virtua Tennis was sometimes impossible as my player wouldn't move. I must say the lady at Sony was very helpful and I will have my replacement within 24 hours..which is nice :) I'm so unlucky sometimes! :(

Apparently not.

:P

If it wasn't for the fact that there are 4-5 dead pixels in a line at the top and huge specs of dust then this unit would be fine. The d-pad on this one is much better, Sony have been very good though and did apologise for the error on the replacement. I'm happy to wait until monday because I'm busy all weekend working anyway.

Well, the same thing has happened to my PSP. My PSP screen is full of dust now, but you only notice it when the sunlight reflexs on it.

It's a bummer, but I cant be bothered to do anything about it.

There are specs behind it in 3 places in the middle of the screen..It's very odd how it's got there though..it is a common problem on the PS forums from what I've read.

I'm a bit curious about this 'dust behind the screen' thing.

How does it get there? The screens are manufactured in sterile conditions (well, supposedly) so...?

I'm not saying I disbelieve you, because I don't. But there's nothing like that on mine. The only speck of dust on mine is one annoying piece that managed to find its way between the actual screen and the protector sheet I put over it.

Got my replacement..and guess what..a huge dead hair style pixel on the top and the amount of dust on the screen on this one is twice as bad..called them again and getting my 2nd replacement on monday!

If I receive a PSP in worse condition than my previous one was then I will kick off big style. I can't see that happening as Sony apparently check them for dead pixels when they replace them.

Playing doesn't cause dead pixels.... They're just there.

Expect the replacement PSP to have dead pixels eventually too.

It's almost impossible to avoid dead pixels, I treated my PSP with so much care and still got 3 - 4 dead pixels. I think the only way to avoid dead pixels is to not play your PSP at all.

:P

I was happy to put up with the one because I know it's 7 or more but it's the D-Pad that was annoying me loads. Just wouldn't work sometimes!
