try restoring your settings to default. If not try taking your battery out for a while. That usually worked for me.

He already tried resetting to the default settings but maybe taking the batery out for awhile like dq9 said will help.

Yea try taking out the battery for awhile and also leave it unplugged from the AC adapter also. It might hopefully help.

if lines appear and the screen gets all distorted when you shake it alittle bit then maybe your screen isnt hooked up correctly or all the way, did you change the face plate or something that caused you to open it up.

nope iv done nothing to it since i bought it a year ago maybe just old age? i dont even have a screwdriver small enough to open the case lol but for now iv stole my lil brothers psp lol but i would like to try n fix this problem it seems to be hardware related so i might just take it down to the games shop n see what they can do for me

Yeah take it back to where you got it and see if they'll exchange it.

Well, if you bought it just less than a year ago it may be eligible for free repair under warranty. God, I'm sounding like the small print of an Argos catalogue... If you haven't used homebrew (or say you haven't used homebrew...) you could send it in for free repair.

That's right if the store won't replace it send it to $ony and they'll fix it and he is on 3.50 Dorkdork so that means no homebrew for him. $ony should accept it and repair it then.
