    I came in drunk one night andfell onto my PSP only to realise when I went to play my hangover game of Loco Roco the screen was smashed :(

    I've tried most shops in Kilkenny, Even the Sony Center but nowhere will repair it :(

    I got it repaired before in Gamestop but they don't do it anymore.

    Could someone tell me why its so hard to get them repaired?

    Also where could I get one repaired, Relatively close to me.

    Yeah Plug lives near me so I showed him.

    Basically if I turned off the power on it, It looks perfect. It's the ink, It's running all over the screen when I turn it on.

    There's a guide. Screens go for about 35euro on ebay.
    It doesn't look all that hard. :D

    If not I'd say pick up a second hand one as you'll probably pay as much to repair it.

    There's your answer! :P

    I got mine repaired by Sony a few times (Bad luck, long story), since it's down to physical damage and not faulty parts, you'll have to pay something like €120, and they'll ship you a brand new one. (First time I got mine replaced, they shipped me one with a broken up button. Great.)

    But why wouldn't you want to rip your PSP apart yourself? And that's not sarcasm, either... Looks fun... :D

    How did you get it repaired by Sony?

    but I might hold off until it's really broken
