Tried it. Didn't work for me.

 

Fixes stuck pixels, not dead Yours are most likely dead

 

Tried it as well. It actualy appears as though I have more dead/stuck pixels now then I did before using it...

 

Ha, nah my single pixel is definitely a stuck pixel cuz it still registering color. I've come to terms with it though. Hell, it was first run Sony after all, I should of waited in the first place.:smt1069

 

Do all PSPs contain dead/stuck pixels? My old one did, but my new one displays stuck pixels, sometimes, then disappears later on for like days of play...

 

My US one didnt. My JP one did.

 

...hehehe, try to refund the JP one... hehehe :smt082

I had one stuck pixel on my TFT monitor that was always blue when the rest were black. But after reading this post I checked to see if it was still there and its not. Looks as if it fixed it's self

Yakumo

 

On PC monitors, you can ramp up the refresh rate of the graphics card to something the monitor usually won't allow (you have to enable modes it can't display first) and that can fix stuck pixels on monitors. I have one dead pixel on my PSP, and it doesn't bother me.

 

Meh, I use my PSP these days as a Glorified MP3 player, so I don't look at the screen much. I wonder if it'll just fix itself one day like Yakumo's monitor.

 

DAMN YOU SONY! DAMN YOU TO HELL! :die

NOW I CAN BUY A FUCKING PSP WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OF GETTING A DEAD PIXEL!

Motherfuckers.............


PS: nothing to do with this tread, im just pissed..........

 

you cant buy any lcd without the possibilities of getting a dead pixel...

Hell even a dell ctr i got seemed to have a dead pixel...

 

Yeah I know, but as I said before, the only way to get a PSP here is by import (like in europe till september) and when you get a dead pixel is a pain in the ass to get a replacement, if they DO offer them.........

 

Plus in Latin America you get brutally ass-raped with the overpricing of imports. Hell, we do up here and we're right next to the States! You guys down south pay even more.
And, since it's the third world, the people who sell you stuff can screw you on the warranty, too, and nobody will help you.
Plus Argentina is PAL, so you have an even harder time importing stuff.:no

 

Well that not a BIG problem, since all the Tvs here are NTSC-PAL

 

Dual system...? Dude, that's SO cool. That's like a HUGE advantage. You can get Japanese and american stuff, but you can also get Brazilian SEGA and Atari stuff!


... still, too bad about the prices.

 

Yeah we got PAL-M too

 

yeah i have a fix too return it to walmart.

 

i have no need for this, my 1.0 psp is perfect
