    Dead pixels appear from leaving a still image on your psp too long with the backlit on I think.

    The blinker tool *supposeditly* takes them off lol

    Dead pixels can happen many ways, the aforementioned and sometimes even dropping your psp or rugged use could cause dead pixels

    Dead pixels(black) cannot be fixed they are like HOT pixels(white), where as Stuck pixels ( stuck opn either red green or blue) can be fixed using programs like the blinker tool blade was talking about

    I think he said blinker tool only works for stuck pixels or something.. so if I want to prevent dead pixels…I shud set my psp settings so that backlight turns off after 1 min or something?

    you are being too careful.

    just play it normally,take care of it, get a hard case, and if it was well built, got a good LCD, you are fine.

    you can get dead pixels regardless. lcd screens in general have that issue, not just psps.

    I dont think you can say u have 2 dead pixel just b.c you bought your psp on ebay. I bought mine from Wal-mart and i have 2 dead pixels. If you only have two you should feel blessed. That is virtually undetectable. Be glad you didnot have a lot like 8 or more. Every lcd has dead pixels so 2 being caused by banging probably isnot the case.
