Alright, I'll be the first customer. I bought one of the first PSPs on the day it came out. However, about a week ago, I accidentally left it on the sofa, and my brother sat on it. Now the screen is cracked.
Do you know of a place where:
A: I can get it fixed, or...
B: I can sell it for parts. (other than ebay, because I have had bad past experiences.)
Thank You very much for making this thread.

Right, well you are being far to drastic about this, its not the end of your psp and selling off parts is just cruel, how could you betray your psp like that ?

Anyway, the first option is to call sony. In the back of your instruction manual that came with your psp there should be a number for the country that you live in, ring it and see where you get, they can usually be quite helpful.

If that fails, go back to the shop, and get them to call sony. They usually have a different number to the public so that they can get to the right place and speak to a person that is more knowledgeable than your usual operator.

Thirdly, try and claim on your warrenty, if it hasn't expired. You should be able to claim your money back, or get it sent to sony to be fixed.

The final option is if all else fails, i don't know how good or reliable they are. But if you are feeling adventurous and are willing to take your psp apart and put it back together you can buy a new screen.

dont be fooled by the title, this website stocks all the parts that make up your psp seperatly and gives you a cost and yu can by them. But if you opt for this option me nor the forum will be held responsible for any problems you have with it. I have not tried it and i advise that you dont unless it is a very last resort.

Actually, has anyone tried these websites?

Ok, help needed. Last week i lost the battery pack that came with the psp. I bought a "mad catz" one that was supposedly meant to double the battery life. Unfortuneately it seems that you need the original aswell so i am stuck with this. Is there any way to configure it so i don't need the original one, and i can just use the "mad catz" version. Thanks, please answer soon as every minute is preventing me from the enjoyment of annialating my friends Thanks

You can order a replacment one from sony, thats the simple answer.

You can buy one from buy.com (again, im not sure how secure or reliable this site is)

http://www.buy.com/prod/Psp_Battery_...202088355.html

You can buy a new official one from about any games store in the world, just shop around for one, they are about $40 or around 30 quid depending on where you live, just get the shop to order one.

Also without it the madcatz one will only be a normal battery, because it just boosts the original so there is no way of configuring it without a good PSP OS knowledge.

EDIT: Also you really should have waited, there is a new official sony power pack that either doubles or triples your battery coming out in feburary, it would have been worth the wait.

So i'll just need to ask my games store if they can order one for me? Thanks. And i couldnt have waited until feburary, its just too long.

How do i get music on my psp and how do i save my games on the computer so i format my mermory stick

To Put music on your PSP

• 1) Plug the PSP USB cable into your computer
  2) On your PSP go to Settings -> USB Connection
  3) Access the PSP from "My Computer"
  4) click the "PSP" folder
  5) Create a new folder in "PSP" labled "MUSIC" (all in Caps)
  6) Create sub-folders (allowing you to organize all your music)
  7) Find the Music files on your computer
  8 ) With the MUSIC folder open and (your music folder) open, hold CTRL and click different files (thus selcting more than 1 file to copy and paste)
  9) on the MUSIC folder, right click -> Paste
  10) Your music will then proceed to copy itself to the PSP
  11) After it's done exit out of USB Connection on your PSP.
  12) Scroll over to the Music section of your PSP and your files should be there.

**Warning: The PSP can only recognize 1 sub-folder inside the previous subfolder...example**

MUSIC-> Cowboy Bebop-> Jazz Tracks (no folder after that)

**Tip: The PSP can recognize playlist files. So if you have Windows Media Player, you can copy your playlist into the directory with the music.**

its called WMA format and takes alot less cutting size in more than half. you need to update the psp to 2.6 and activate it in system settings.

How do i get my games that i saved on my computer back on to my psp

[soldier one]

hopefully you saved the whole file containing the saved games. so then it has all the psp data stored so i can read it. but you should be able to just copy and paste them into the saved data file. dont go systems just games.

hey i have a question. has anyone dowloaded videos from google and succesfully put them on their psp. is anyone has please let me know how they did it cause i sure cant.

[jc81622]

Hello, I have a psp slim with the latest custom firmware but I cant get these two games to play without the umd. When I put the umd they work fine but I have a 4 gb stick and it would be nice to put all 3 of my games on there so I dont have to carry them around. Final fantasy tactics works great, but crysis core and god of war doesnt work.

I ripped them to my computer and put them in the ISO folder on my psp, They show up in my games on the memory stick but when I try to play them the screen just turns black for about 10 seconds and then it shuts itself off.

I ripped god of war twice to make sure it wasnt a bad copy. But the wierd thing is that god fo war and crysis core have the EXACT same file size. When I copy the image from the umd can it only copy so much?

hey i have a question. has anyone dowloaded videos from google and succesfully put them on their psp. is anyone has please let me know how they did it cause i sure cant.

Well I haved tried downloading videos from google myself, I think you'll find the following program useful to transfer/convert them to your PSP directly:

http://www.pspvideo9.com/

Before opening the program after install, connect the PSP to the PC/laptop with your USB cable and then on the PSP, go to Settings > USB Connection [and if its the first time doing it, wait for the device to install on Windows.

Then load up PSP Video 9 and follow the information within the program/help files.

As I remember when I did that, it automatically finds you psp so all you have to do is us it to convert your files [and, I think, queue ready-to-view video files so that they can be transfered].

Its very easy to use and works a treat

Hope it helps.
Nath.

I had this problem too i new how but for some reason it wouldn't work.
This how i solved it i don't know about toher country's but in Austraila you must buy a special disc called Xploder in order to transfer files this may be your problem i'm not sure.

[theman19]

well my primary computer is a mac. but on my windows computer i have psp video 9. its a sh**ty computer tho its running windows 98 and its really slow. but anyways my computer wont recognize the psp (not pspvideo9 the computer) so i have to use an external usb writer. anyways i got pspvideo9 to recognize that and i converted the videos but when i click the video and tell it to transfer it to psp it wont work. and when i go to program files/pspvideo9/MP_ROOT/MNV001 and try to tranfer it manually it wont play on the psp it just says there are no videos. is it beacuse they have a quicktime logo or something. im copletly stumped. i cant get limewire either. my dad wont let me. he says its steaking and he thinks the government will track us down (i know its crazy). thats why i was so excited for googles video service. but ya if anyone knows of a video conversion and transfer software for mac PLEASE tell me. it would be nice to work on my iMac G5 instead of a 5 year old dell thats in my little sisters room (i have to listen to hillary duff and watch her put on lip gloss everytime im in there using it).

How do i get my games that i saved on my computer back on to my psp

Plug your PSP into your computer, go into USB mode, and a box should come up asking you what you want to open it with. Choose view files, (its the picture of a folder), and then you'll find a gamesaves file after opening up the PSP file. Just drag your gamesaves and drop em' in the gamesave folder.

No, you're memory card has nothing to do with it. I think it has something to do with the cache possibly, its under 'Tools' and I changed mine to 2048 kb. This may or may not help, even if I'm correct, you just won't be able to view some things because of their size.

[Steroyd]

there are so many issue with PSP this is a great idea.

okay i use PSP9 to convert and transfer video files to my PSP, the only problem is some movie clips won't convert (example Killzone trailer), evertime i click on "one-click transcode" it just does something in 1 second flat without actually converting the video file.

I think i need to lower the bitrate of my original Video file, does anyone know how to do that?

When I have this problem I just click back, then go forward and you shouldn't have any problem.
