According to a technical support associate contacted by GameSpot, PSP owners who encounter a persistent and aggravating dead-pixel issue should contact SCEA’s customer service line (1-800-345-7669) for instructions on how to exchange their unit after a week or two of using the unit. ‘We will work with you,’ he assured.

yea i thought about that but most people visit the free stuff forum, especially those aiming to get a psp or received one

but mods can feel free to move it wherever need be

haha w/e it all works out i guess.

there will b hardly any dead pixels on the psps, dont sweat it. Many of those rumors about the psp on Japanese launch such as the UMD popping out are not true.

i never even heard about that rumour.

yea some smart@$$es taped a video of the UMD shooting out of the disc drive and said it was a defect. im sure u can find it if you look.

lol what a fag

who? what ? when ? where ? why ? how?

you were saying?  lol I opened one of my three, the one I am 100% im keeping for now, and it has 1 dead pixel, but it’s ALL the way to the right so you can’t see it 😊

Lucky for me, Mine has NO dead Pixels.  :love:

ok. congratulations. never said there wouldnt be any dead pixels, just not many. Sony doesnt make the screen for the psp anyway. Sharp electronics does.

Well it would be impossible to not have any unless they threw out a lot of the displays.  I’ve heard Apple throws out displays with more than 3 dead pixels. 😊

they had to rush to make the psps in time for launch, they had to hire samsung and i think toshiba to use their factories to make enough psps for launch.
