PSP hardware

Just saw these new accessories at PA:

There's a nice soft case here:

Oh, and they have some cheap USB power leads too (to charge PSP from a PC):

to mute the PSP press and hold down the music mode select button for a couple of seconds, the one that looks like a musical note.

Yeah, I know how to mute it once it's on, but I was hoping there would be some way to make it turn on in mute mode so I don't bother people on the train with a burst of noise if I've left the volume up.

I do try to remember to mute it before I turn it off, but I generally forget.

So is there a definative way of cleaning the screen and what is the best solution to use.. LCD cleaner or something like that perhaps ?

[nintendo DS rocks!]

I hope my PSP doesn't have any defects when i get it do any of you have defects on your PSP's?

[sj33]

Mine has one dead pixel (least it looks like one) in the middle, which you don't see in-game unless your on a plain white background... and some trapped dust at the bottom which I could probably remove.
It does not annoy me however.

I got a dead pixel too , it doesnt distract at all so it doesnt really bother me much . As for cleaning the blessed finger print magnet , I just use a cleaning cloth that comes with yer specs , it does the job a treat

[Lyrical Donut]

Got mine today.

3 dead pixels! Only noticable on pure black screens though. It's fine during gameplay and video playback, so it's not too bad.

Squeaky as buggery right d-pad too. Grr.

i know this has been mentioned b4 but i cant find it, whats the software called to incert jpgs into mp3's for the little pictures on the psp while they are playing?

[Gareth C]

Squeaky as buggery right d-pad too. Grr.

Mine was like that but had disappeared with heavy use!

Oh, and one dead pixel, you would never know when playing though.

[SUMIRE]

I thought dead pixels wouldnt bother me too much.....I had two. Once I knew they were there it just annoyed me so much. Needless to say I got rid of the machine and bought another.

[Big Stu]

Mine had four dead pixels when i bought it, and like people said, they're only visible on blank screens, not even slightly noticeable during gameplay!

[Gareth C]

But they go TOTALLY unnoticed during gameplay...

[Papercut]

TOTALLY?

would depend where there were, and on the player.

[Gareth C]

well mine is just off centre on the screen...and goes TOTALLY unnoticed

[Vestan Pance]

I think I've been quite lucky with my DS and PSP, as neither have any dead pixels, although the PSP screen has a couple of tiny marks / imperfections.

One looks like a really small chip at the top of the screen, and the other looks more like a tiny dent, but they're both so small you can't even notice them when playing it.

I haven't got a decent cleaning cloth yet either, so there's always a chance they're just marks that will come off *fingers crossed*
