I found 3 dead pixels thats only visible on black screens, Im thinking about taking it back to EBGames.

I also bought the warranty, and I want my PSP in perfect condition. Do you think EBGames will be cool with me exchanging it a few times if Im not satisfied?

Will they even LET me exchange for dead pixels?

Is not that they want to let you or not exchange it... they HAVE to do so if you have got the extended warranty with them... that's why they sell those things. The problem is that people don?t use it, but go ahead and fight for your consumer rights until you're completely happy with your unit. If they don?t want to comply just ask for a full refund or you?ll go to the BBB; that have worked like charm with almost every store I?d dealt with in th:dev:'?? :devil: muahahaha...

viva la ravolucion! :p

When I tilt my psp at a certain angle, I see stuff that looks like rainbow pools around the edges. Is that normal for a screen?

Same thing happens to me. I think its been noted before as having that effect on the LCD screen. I notice it particularly around the area of the Square button.

Yeah, I have one next to the square button. Is this a concern or is it okay? Thanks.

Its only a concern if its lighting your PSP on fire and it catches your hair on fire and you run around your house screaming in agony :rofl:

J/K! :rofl:

I havent noticed any difference with the screen, only at that weird angle and having the screen turned off. It doesnt affect the quality of the screen as far as i can tell (Ive taken a second look at the screen while watching spider-man 2, with the screen titled at that angle, and its barely noticeable. Not that its watchable at that angle anyways. :p).

Ack another issue, I can not get this thing to connect to my "unsecured nothing fancy wireless connection".

Keep getting A connection error has occurred (80410D09)

that happens to me alll the time its because its not getting your signal. also you should set your psp address setting to automatic not manual. if that doesn't do it i dont know what will work

I have the PRP warranty and was going to bring mine in when I get back from vacation, but someone here on neowin said they take away your prp once you use it and you have to buy another for the new PSP. I didn't see anything like that in the fine print, so is it true?

I THINK that's how it is but I'm not 100% sure. That's why I want my EB to get more systems in b4 14 days is up so I don't have to use my warranty. If they don't get any in I'm gonna fight it because it's not MY fault they didnt get any in.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
