Looks like magnetic damage. Ever had high-powered speakers too close to a TV or monitor and it goes multi coloured? By the looks of it, you had the PSP sitting close to a very strong magnetic field. What could do this to an LCD, i do not know. Either that, or you've dropped our PSP / someone knocked it off a shelf and didn't tell you, and the liquid crystals have leaked out of their borders in the glass.

Some PC monitors have a 'degauss' feature to fix this, if not the 'magnet on the powerful drill' does well. For PSP's, even even LCD screen, i know not of a way to fix this.


It looks like your PSP is stuffed. Sorry.

a magnet cant hurt a lcd screen, only the old ones (is it crt??)
a better pic would help. turn on macromode on your camera.
it schould be an icon like this:

yeah that pic is a bit blurry learn how to use a camera but that still looks shitty for your psp

i know i'm bad at using cameras no need to make me feel bad about it...

here goes another pic taken closer but still shitty as hell:

Thats easier to see.

Umm is it that lens flare kinda thing - (the circle)?

Or is your PSP Screen blurry and not the camera...

I need words to describe - the pic aint workin...

its a big black spot full of weird pixels in it...

will that do?

Try applying a little bit of pressure to the area where the dot is. Apply just enough so that contact is made with the faceplate and the lcd. See if that works for you.

looks like you ahve a bunch of dead pixels. you can trade it for a new one for free if you ahve more than 3 of them or something.

Yes, magnetic damage IS POSSIBLE with LCD screens. Each unit of liquid crystal in an LCD screen is sensitive to all types of energy, whether it be magnetic or ultra-violet. The thing is, it would have to be a very powerful magnet. 'Dead pixels' don't really do that, dead pixels rarely happen in a cluster like that, and when a pixel dies it is a static colour - that of the last state the crystal was in before it died. In his case, it may have been off.... so that explains the black. But it doesnt explain the 'fading out' (unless that is the camera showing us wrong).

I MAY be wrong, it could be dead pixels. If it's not the case, which i think it isn't, someone has dropped it or something. I think the liquid has just leaked out as magnetic damage is not probable, and dead pixels are not either.

They could be 'stuck' pixels, whatever that means. I remember seeing some homebrew that could repair stuck pixels... anyone remember what it was?

I don't know.


EDIT: The reason i think it's energy-based damage is because it has variable colour - much like what happens to a CRT screen. This one is blue (is it?), as we see on the white backdrop. If the background was green, it'd prolly turn to a colour close to.. whatever green + blue is (lol).
