I tried PSP pixel restore, flashing the psp, and I'm so close to chucking the hunk of plastic at a wall.
I just called Sony for an exchange and they said it will cost me $112 to fix the thing. I'm a (currently) jobless highschool student who paid the full cost out of my own pocket...and I refuse to pay half its cost for repairs.
The guy from Sony said the warranty has expired aparently since I accidently dropped the psp on the ground. Isn't the warranty supposed to cover those things? It's not like I purposely dropped it on the ground...and it even landed screen up.
The screen remains uncracked, in perfect physical condition, yet has that blue line and aparently I have to pay to fix it.
I wonder if it's possible for me to call and speak with another person who doesn't know I dropped it on the ground...but he got my phone number, e-mail, etc and said the call is recorded.
If I'm screwed, just tell me straight up so I can start asking people for money.
I'm begging for any other alternative to fixing this darn thing!!!
It's more of a light blue line. =P
I already tried downgrading to 1.50 then back to 3.71 m33-2...twice.
I know my warranty is still good, but the guy I talked to on the phone said it doesn't matter anymore since it fell on the ground.
Who would buy a psp with a blue line...
I could play with the blue line regardless, but I spent way too much money to play on a defective psp.
Thanks for trying to help anyways...
I think I'll call Sony back and talk to someone with a little more intelligence and conveniently leave out the 'dropped it' part.
We'll see how that goes!
If not...I'll try returning it to the store. It should be under a year still.
even if he does send it to sony with a official firmware, they can still track your upgrade/downgrade process, so i don't recommend sending it to SONY (UNLESS it's your last move).
If you bought it in gamestop or some other store that has their own 1 year warranty, upgrade to sony official firmware go to them and say " There is a blue line on my psp,". If they ask you did you mod/mess with it, just say no. You might get a new psp
replacement screen might help but.. i think it's a internal problem because he mentioned he dropped it.
I dropped it awhile back, but I don't think it had anything to do with the line 'cause it didn't appear until months later.
I tried upgrading from 1.50 directly to 3.50 (sony firmware) but it wouldn't do it.
I bought it in March so the warranty should still be good at Best Buy.
How do I upgrade it from 1.50 back to regular firmware?
Btw I'm a 'she' =P
