ehhh my psp is old. ive had it since the first week they came out, so i doubt the warranty is any good. i'm thinking im just going to sit down with my dad and carefully disassemble the thing and try. if worse comes to worse, i have been wanting that new Slim PSP :P heh, i was just hoping to be able to fix it. at least there are numerous tutorials online for disassembly.

thanks for your advice
