i think I'll do that, all i have to do is first find out from my friend how long he has had if for...
hopefully it is under a year :S

would i first phone Sony? or just send it to them with a letter or an email saying what happened?

what do you guys think is the best excuse? that it stopped working after i was trying to upgrade to 3.51 and my battery ran out, or something like that?

Don't send it to sony or tell them anything about it,take it back to the shop he got it from and tell them it won't charge any more and do this.

1.Format the mem stick or take it out all together(needs to go back with the original 2.71 files or whatever it was before)
2.Run the bat right down (they will check the bat)
3.Cross your fingers.

I did this before and i got a new one they might send it away but that's ok.i got mine sent to a sony guy they can't tell or are too lazy to look,he will try to turn on see no power,look at bat,see its flat,try a new one,it won't work he won't go to the trouble of investagating the motherboard,they will give you a new one.Just make sure you say it won't charge that's it you don't need to say anything else mate.

i rang them up and they arranged a date when someone would come and take my psp and give me another one..

Lol, so did they even come to your house that's service for ya:)
