Hi all I am having a bit of trouble w/ my D-pad on my PSP. I think it maybe dirty or sticky or something. So I was wondering wat is the best methood to cleaning out your PSP. I think my D-Pad might need some cleaning. It also delays sometimes when I press it. Especially, in the XMB. any suggestions are welcome. |

But when I look closely at it, it seems like there is some dirt on the D-Pad buttons itself on the sides. Maybe that is the prob but not sure though. Anyway to get rid of it? Or clean it out? |

I would also try spraying a tad of WD40 in the cracks; might work up the plastic a bit.
