PSP major screen problem!

Pac3y · 4 May 2006 at 18:36

I bought a PSP from ebay got it today and there is 21 pure black pixels on a blue background and a rather big noticible dark area on screen which can be seen on anything bar a black background. Also they appears to be streaks of non cleanable areas that give a weird colour affect.

This is my 3rd PSP so I deffo know its wrong but now I'm wondering what to do! I did get a good deal, £100 for a giga pack with 2x top games loads of accessories and its only a month old (So he suggest) definatly in good condition otherwise. So what do I do?.........

A) Go buy one from say GAME swap the PSP and get a refund

B) Get a screen replacement and pester the seller for the costs

C) Deal with Sony direct to get it exchanged (Obviously no receipt if it is needed

)

Or anything else someone may suggest

TIA

I asked him before purchase and he said "[font=Arial, Verdana]dead pixels there isn't any which i can tell"[/font]

Going to run the pixel fixer but I just know its not going to do anything tbh.

Here is a pic of the problem area. It looks much more darker in real life both the area and the pixels. The pixels seem to be less noticble if not on colours such as green or yellow.

Got a screen from the auction site for £20 just need the seller to play ball now and refund me for it. Doesn't look to much of a job to change the screen over at least.

I rang him and hes gonna refund me for the screen replacement!

Happy now just hope I don't kill the PSP while doing the swap.

Never thought of that to be honest! Although a lot of people offer the screen replacements guessing most won't be done in a dust free enviro?!
