PSP Hardware \ Are Dead Pixels normal??

darthlisa says:

i just noticed my psp has a SINGLE black dead pixel on the screen..i didnt notice it at first but its definatly there.. the man i bought it from at EB said i have 7 days to take it back or exchange it if i change my mind. this is my second psp, i already swapped one in a couple of days ago because it had 9 bright white pixels that could be seen when the screen was black.. they were easy to see in the dark but when i took it in it was a bright room and they were harder to see and i could tell he thought i was weird. anyway we went through a few boxes until i found one which looked good i felt bad so kind of tried to be quick. anyway this one dead pixel, (it also has 3 tiny white ones which can be seen on a black screen though theyre along the bottom and can hardly see them so i dont mind them so much) do you think i should swap it again for one with no dead pixels or is this normal like the instruction manual seems to state :P

Go and see them at the shop and show them the dead pixel with the PSP fired up. See if you can try before you buy and put the pixel checking wallpapers on a spare memory stick so you can easily see any before you go.

Remember though if you bought this PSP brand new and it had dead pixel(s) then this is NOT covered by the warranty. Same for most LCD televisions and other products.

If EB allow you to change then good on 'em i say. Make sure you support them back!

Good luck and post back how you get on....

Dead pixels are a fault but they're so common they've basically become normal

dude...your wasting your time if you go to the shop so they can replace your psp because of one dead pixel.

you are actually lucky to have on dead pixel. others have 3 or even more
i only ahve one and its situated on the side so its not bothering.

if you go the shop, theyll just laugh at you.. -_-

yeah, I swapped my first psp cos of the pixel problem, but just recently, I had to send it back to sony cos of the analog stick getting stuck. They sent me a refurbished one, with 1 dp, which I wasnt too bothered about, but now, I got a spec of dust in there that is shitting me more than a dp ever did! htf does a spec of dust get in there? anyone else had one that they got out somehow?

You bought it 2nd hand, it has one dead pixel, and your complaining ?

In my opinion, people like you are the customer from hell, and nothing they do (EB) will be good enough, so, give em a break and get a refund, and put them out of their misery. And daydream about being in your perfect little world.

Everyday I dread that I will have a customer like you, ones that will pick the smallest fault, that blow it all out proportion and expect freebies, discounts and favours for life, and loom 'Negative Feedback'over our head unless we bend over and take it up the arse like a Chook.

I have 4 stuck pixels, BIG DEAL, GET OVER IT!!!!

I have 4 dead pixel if you read properly 1 black and 3 white ones which i was happy to ignore because most of the time i cant see them. im far from the customer from hell. i took the first psp back because it had 8 dead pixels and they said it was cool to return it. i was very appologetic even though i shouldnt have been the guy who served me fully lied to me saying 'i looked through all of them and could only find 2 in good condition' then presented them to me, both were fine but kind of scratched but i picked the better of the two. i went back the next day because of the pixels to a different guy and he went out back and pulled out like 5 different ones that all looked perfect, so instead of stuffing him around i picked the first nice looking one because i felt bad. if i was the customer from hell i wouldnt be asking here if its worth taking it back, id just go in there and have a bitch, so shut the hell up.

ps you look super tough in your forum photo.

Yeah yeah yeah . . . . . whatever . . . . . shut your pie hole.!

Your just confirming you are the customer from hell? Making them go through each and every item they had. I could just imagine it.

That might be normal behaviour to you, but to me, thats the customer from hell.

One minute its one pixel, now its four of them.

To quote 'Ms Crabtree'. . . . . 'SIT DOWN, AND SHUT UUUUUUUP'.
