the UMD is unreadable, try cleaning it with a special cloth. To get rid of dust.

Upgrade it back to 2.5 or 2.6. Make sure its something you can downgrade again tho incase they dont exchange it. Where did you buy it from? If you got it from best buy with the extended warranty stomp on the screen then take it back. Have done it first hand :). Along with a few other things.

It wouldn't matter. The game store is only going to check to see if the PSP powers up and plays a game. They don't care which version it is.

Tell them at the store you wanna verify everything is in order. Then, you can check to make sure it's a downgradeable PSP before you actually buy it. If it's a 2.71, keep "browsing" until you find one that is lower than 2.71. ppl say not to downgrade a TA-082 b/c the motherboard won't take the downgrade. Well, that mobo is so new, I doubt it will be in the store under the "Used" category yet. :)
