Dust tends to settle on you Sony PSP over time and once dust starts settling on it without proper and careful cleaning, it might start to malfunction and if care is not taken, damage could be done to major arts of the game. So, you need to regularly clean it to avoid such. But as complex as the game is, so is the cleaning. You just don`t clean Sony PSP in a carefree manner. It must be done with care and you need to follow simple laid down protocol to avoid any damage. In this article, I will show you a simple way of cleaning your Sony PSP from inside to the outside!
To get your game cleaned, you need a basic material called Microfiber cloth. This is the best material to get your game cleaned without hassle. But if you do not have one or cannot lay your hands on any, then any soft clothe will do. Note that i said soft cloth! All you have to do is use the soft cloth to slowly and gently wipe dust off your PSP. Here, you need to be extremely careful so you do not apply a lot of pressure. Applying too much pressure when cleaning could cause scratches on the glossy surface of your PSP. You can as well use that same cloth (a clean part of the cloth though) to clean the controllers as well. That is a simple way of cleaning you Sony PSP from outside.
Now, lets get down to the more complex part of cleaning it from the inside. You need to be extra-careful here. Basically, there are two major ways of cleaning a Sony PSP from the inside.
The first way of cleaning your game is by running a vacuum cleaner across the ventilation grates of the console. This method is a method that Sony actually recommends in the manual for cleaning from the inside. But, you need to be extremely careful when you are using a vacuum cleaner because you could do damage to some major components of the game. To avoid such a problem, make sure your vacuum cleaner is not on full power, this way no damage could be done.
Secondly, let me start by telling you that you can clean it by opening it up. This is a bit complicated, but if you do it carefully, it is not an issue at all. But strongly suggest that you do not do this without following steps from a PSP repair guide. This is actually the best way to get it cleaned and stop your game from malfunctioning. But please only use this method when your game warranty has expired else, once you open your console, you have lost right to the warranty. There are PSP repair guides that give you step by step direction as to get your PSP cleaned and solving issues regarding malfunctioning. When searching for a guide, please go for guides that will offer you step-by-step instructions on how to clean your PSP and possibly go for ones that have picture instruction, they are better!
