PSP Repairs

[WHATEVER]

Hello everyone,

I have created this in the correct place now ... I think

I have a problem ... I have 2 sons and they seem to have broken their PSPs ... as boys do.

They are PSP Slims. The first one was dropped yesterday , and now no longer plays games. The device boots and everything else seems to work, but the motor in the UMD bay just seems to run ... but no game comes up. The second ones buttons are all sticky. The PSP plays OK ... and the buttons do not stick ... but there is a distince sticky click everytime you press the buttons.

So ... I am looking for somewhere in Johannesburg (North and West) that I can take them to get looked at ... any ideas and help will be appricated!!

Thanks!!

Yes that's the one in Boksburg!
I take any hardware faults to them as they usually do it while you wait. The service is excellent.

Unfortunately the PSP Slim is in fact structurally weaker than its non-slim counterpart. Much was done to lighten and reduce the size of the slim and this included stripping out of the metal chassis that it was originally built around. As such the entire handheld is more prone being "warped" (and components being damaged or misaligned) when pressure is applied.

Yeah ... it does feel a lot "cheaper"!! I have the PSP-Fat () and it really feels a lot more solid. Still ... I can only hope!!

Thanks for the advice and points!!
