I have to call Sony and find out how much it will cost to fix (if it can be fixed).  I want to split the cost of the repair with the kid's parents, but his mom says that it was a risk I took in letting her 13-year-old play with my PSP.\n\nI felt like I did the kid (and her) a favor since we were all at a party for adults and he was bored out of his mind.  Now I'm out my PSP and I feel like the parents of this irresponsible child should at least assist with paying for the repair or replacement of my game system.

Absolutely! If that kid broke his game, then his parents should be taking responsibility for paying for getting it fixed or even replacing it.

1. Fix it yourself?\nThis is your best bet if you know what you are doing. I encourage this approach as many people bring it to me after they really screwed it up. Then I make more money than if they had brought it to me in the first place.\n\n2. Call the Hardware or Software manufacturer?\nGreat Idea if you speak  Indian or Cantonese\n\n\n3. Call or bring the PC/Notebook in to the place you bought it?\nThis approach seldom works unless you bought it from a computer specialty store.\n\n\n4. Have a friend, neighbor, relative or co-worker fix it?\nI really like this idea, I generally make even more money than if you tried to fix it yourself.\n\n\n5. Call or bring the PC/Notebook to a PC support company like Geek Squad or Nerds on Line? (which)\nSure if you can afford them. Your local small computer business is a better bet, because they actually care about repeat business and their reputation.\n\n6. Other (please specify). \nBuy a new computer!

Call sony and tell them your problem.  They might fix it for you for free.  The disadvantage is, you can't get to use it for several days because you are going to send it to them to fix it.

As a mother of 3(and a day after all 3 of their P-T conferances!!) I absolutely agree with you..\nToo many parents out there coddle their 'poor innocent children' and don't even know the first thing about teaching them responsability and discipline..I really think that it is a major problem right now but will really come back to bite us in a few years when they are 'adults'.\nMy now 10 year old had major problems with late work and 'forgetting assignments last year. The teacher cared enough to call me and both her and I sat down and developed a plan to work this out together..we checked her work leaving school and I checked everything at home. It was time consuming for both of us; I also NEVER blamed the teacher-i made my 10 year old accountable and wanted her to understand that she needed to become responsable. A year later at her 5th grade conferance(last night!) her teacher this year had nothing but good things to say..how she dives into her homework at study time..asks for help and never has late work this year..plus she had almost straight A's..\nI think teachers are wonderful and are one of the most under-paid professions out there..\nUnfortunately some parents take those things as some sort of personnal insult or don't seem to understand that in a few short years their children will need to enter the adult world.\nI hope knowing that a very, involved caring mom(able to admit that my child isn't perfect!)completely agrees with you will help

swears she never had problems with it? theres your answer. you got scammed buddy. i suggest you throw it out tha window. theres no hope. you could buy a brand new one for cheaper than what it will cost you for the computer nerds to fix.

I asked my Mom. She first gave the same answer as hillaryy. I told her you were probably talkink about still-in-the-stick. She says it can't be done, or if it is, it's easier to just get a new one.

there are no user reviews on any of the common sites. I do know that is way too cheap for it, it goes for around 6-8 hundred used, I would be very careful, make sure it is not stolen or anything, and no major flaws. The repair parts are very expensive, but I gues they work goo. I would just wonder why so cheap

Thank the school for encouraging your son to integrate with others rather than sinking into his own personal private hole.\n\nSorry, you will doubtless receive virtiol from other computer users answering this as iPods are genuinely detested.\n\nWrite the school a nice note, confirming your disaproval of the loss and asking that they replace the lost item. Once they confiscated the thing, they unfortunately assumed responsability for it.

don't update it why? because you could do something about it that will give you access to alot of free stuff like any new games and old games from before Sega, Atari, Nintendo etc...... go to http://www.psp-hacks.com \n\nabout your problem go try to put back your old memory stick and try if it would work if it does. go copy all the files from there and just put it in a new folder in your p.c ,and after that put back your new memory stick and go to MY COMPUTER look for REMOVABLE DRIVE and go right click on it and formate it after that put back the files that you copy from your old memo stick to the new one simple as that. or if you need more help go to this site http://psp-hacks.com and go the forum.

I read of someone buying a PSP box for $150.00. They didn't read the whole ad and it was just the empty box! Read carefully!

I'm 13 too and I also wanna buy it,but you know what the trouble is?My PS2 broke,even though I can afford the game,I can't afford to buy a new PS2.I'm thinking of saving up and do some extra chores around the house for money to buy a PS3 and play svr 2007 on it.\n\nAsk your parents for that game or earn some money by selling something.

I'm no expert, but I beleive there is a 'less than legal' firmware upgrade which can be done to the PS2.  Only solution I can think of.

If it's still under warranty I would exchange it.  If you still have the same problems with the new one, I would get my money back and buy another brand.

It was a local electronics shop, which has since (thankfully) gone out of business. They broke a video camera of mine while doing a simple repair, and then laughed about it and refused to replace or repair it. They said that further repairs would cost extra, even though the new damage was clearly their fault. They actually laughed about the way the camera fell off one of their work tables while a couple of young repair guys were rough-housing around and having a mock fight. After raising a bit of hell, I finally got it fixed, but the fix was only temporary, and the camera was ultimately fried. \n\nDid I go back? No way. And apparently, neither did anyone else. They've been out of business for quite some time now.
