Send PSP to sony?

[PSP_Newbie]

i just called...they said its covered on warranty(good news) but that they will probably send me a new replacement psp(bad news)
im pretty sure all the psp's they have laying around in stock are all 2.0's
but at least im glad they will most likely accept my psp and im gettnig a new one for free

I guess emulation is done with you. Thats sucks.

Lets just hope that someone cracks 2.0 ,but more and likely it wont happen. The only way I see everybody having emulation is if someone makes a program for downgrading.

yeah, lets just hope. im sending the psp off today or tom morning, and not gonna get it back for another week or two.
im really hoping it will be my same old 1.5, but im starting to doubt it...i might have to make that jump from awsome homebrew to...to.....commercial games! /cry

does sony also repair dead pixels?? i have a couple on my psp and of course one of them is right smack in the middle of the screen. you cant see it when youre playing games or watching movies, but i know its there and it bugs me. what really bugs me is that when i took it out of the box the first time, it had little dots on the screen like something was set on it and imprinted on the screen. or it ran through the line at the factory and something pressed too hard on top. i immediately took it to game stop but those pricks told me that its not their problem. i have to take it up with sony. havent called them yet though

well, yes they do cover it, if u call them at 1-(800)-345-SONY(7669) oh god i memorized their number, i had to call like 10 times the first time before i actually got connected to a live opertator
anyways, i read it somewhere lets see...found it

Each PSP comes with a one-year limited warranty, which is on page 125 of the PSP manual. If a PSP is "determined to be defective" by SCEA, the company will see to the "repair or replacement of this product with a new or refurbished product at SCEA's option."

According to a technical-support associate contacted by GameSpot, PSP owners who encounter a persistent and aggravating dead-pixel issue should contact SCEA's customer service line at 1-800-345-7669 for instructions on how to exchange their unit after a week or two of use. "We will work with you," he assured.

The associate said the process would work much like exchanging PlayStation 2s that suffer from the dreaded "Disc Read Error" problem: Gamers will mail their PSPs in to SCEA and receive units with new screens. The associate was unsure if customers would receive an all-new unit or their old unit with a new LCD screen.

hope that helps, though unless its really bad, i dunno if its worth losing your psp for 1-2weeks and risking losing a homebrew-compatible 1.5, so its up to you

I got the DRE on my PS2 and Sony said, and I quote, "Fix it yourself."

I got my psp back today, and unfortunately, although it was a brand new psp, it was also a 1.51. It's better than a broken psp though, and i am glad i did it. As for emulation, im done with it for a while, but im not making the same mistake i did last time and upgrading, i will wait until someone figures out how to get homebrew running on a 1.51. I'll still stick around at this site of course. Although its one of the best sites on emulation and homebrew, i think its still worthwhile if you cant play it. Maybe i'll give in and buy a 1.5 psp^^
