If your Sony PSP is being faced with problems such as these or even more, then succor is on the way for you. In this article, I will show you ways to get each one of these problems solved, not by sending it to Sony or sending it to a technician, but by repairing it yourself! Firstly let me start by saying for anyone who is of the habit of twisting the UMD to a certain level such tat it pops up when twisted, that is the worst solution to handle a PSP. In short, why must you twist it in such a way anyway? You should know that it's such a delicate gadget that will not have such power to withstand such stress. A major issue that PSP faces may be the problem of gathering dust thereby making then malfunction. If that is the case of your PSP, then you do not need to go on it to Sony or to any technician, it is simple to clean the dust gently on your own following simple instructions. All you have to do is disassemble it and clean the dust off. To disassemble it, you will have to remove some screws (seven in total) from the trunk case of the Sony PSP. Then start the PSP and take away the battery, there will appear a warranty sticker titled "WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED". Do not get it confused the warranty does not cover dust on the screen, if you want to get the dust off, you are left with no option than to eliminate it and voiding the warranty (you won't need it anyway should you choose when i instruct). Now gather your snap-on screw drivers and let's move ahead.

You will recognize that the screw types to be removed are three in number. When that is done, make an effort to lift off the face plate of the machine gently then slide the small screwdriver under the lip that's located on the left section of the button bar and slide it up in such a way that the bar is disconnected from the housing. Care should be taken here in order that you usually do not lose the contact for the numb which is rubber made. After you have done this, the next thing is to unplug the button bars flex cable by lifting that tab up in your direction and then sliding the cable out. You should be extremely careful when achieving this because they are very weak in nature and may break easily in the event that you twist and turn them. Remember that this flex connector require you handling them carefully, if you force it right into a certain position, you'll cause more problem than you are trying to fix. Also, the left side of the LCD screen has a metal bracket that holds the LCD set up. You will have no choice than to unhook that side of the LCD by sliding your flat head screwdriver between your LCD housing and the mounting bracket for the LCD. Once this is done, slowly pop the tabs and the LCD screen will certainly come out. Pull out another side slowly equally and that means you do not damage it and turn the LCD a ninety degrees angle in order to be in a position to access the connector cable. Once you lift the clamps on the connectors, you will come across brown clips which are the only things you need to lift up.

I also implore you never to use micro-fiber rags in cleaning the screen since they will leave just as much lint as it takes away dust. The best material to obtain it cleaned is any of the specially made screen cleaning clothes that are being sold purposely for the screen of your LCD monitor or perhaps a very soft paper towel such as for example those used for cleaning glasses. Get? When cleaning, instead of wiping dust off the screen, I implore you to dust gently across it so that any debris or dust on the screen does not scratch the screen in the process. Once this is done, begin the procedure of replacing all that you removed just as gently as you removed them and your PSP is totally cleaned. Now that we have a solution to screen dirt problem, let us move to dead or stuck pixels. At this juncture I need to let you know the difference between a dead and a stuck pixel.
