Borked PSP

[Elcura]

I'm not sure what the hell happened, but it seems like my PSP is broken (well...obviously). The thing is, whenever you do something, like touch the screen or press start/select, it acts like you're hitting the home button. Which is annoying, but I can still listen to music and play games. I just wonder if there's a way to fix it, or anyone I should send it into to fix it (bar Sony - I haven't sent something in before, so I'm unsure if the process is quick/painless).

I ask because this isn't actually my PSP, and I don't want to give it back to my friend broken.

Sounds like you shorted it out. I had the same fucking thing happen to mine after charging it up after having it sit in my computer desk drawer for half a year. Unless you want to break the warranty seal and replace circuit boards you're fucked. :/

So basically...get it fixed (send it to Sony) and/or replaced, huh? Oh well, it's been like 5 years since I got it, so good run I guess.

Sadly, yes. I refuse to pay Sony another $100 for a system that was broken from fucking plugging it in so I'd rather use it as a paper weight.
