How to Clean a Sony PSP

The sleek black Sony Playstation Portable can easily get grungy from constant handling. Grime and dirt can affect performance. To clean a PSP, take the following steps.

Instructions

    • 1

      Disconnect from all power sources before you clean a PSP to avoid electrical shock. If you need to clean the inside case where the battery is located, remove the battery before you clean the case.

    • 2

      Wipe off the outside of your PSP regularly with a soft dry cloth. A protective microfiber storage pouch can be purchased for the PSP. The PSP can be cleaned while in this pouch by simply rubbing the pouch against it.

    • 3

      Remove any dirt lodged around your PSP controller buttons with a wooden toothpick.

    • 4

      Wipe dirt from the PSP connectors or power cords with a soft dry cloth or a cotton swab. A dirty connector could interrupt the electrical flow to the PSP and inhibit its performance.

    • 5

      Clean headphones or remote control connectors with a soft dry cloth. Dirt in these areas could affect the sound quality.

Tips & Warnings

  • Purchase a protective plastic film to cover and protect your PSP screen from scratches.

  • Don't use paper towels to clean a PSP--they can cause fine scratches. Use only a soft dry cloth.

  • Do not use water or chemicals to clean a PSP.
