My Psp Buttons Are No Longer Responding: Help, Please!

Help Guys,

My cousin spilled water on my psp and I didn't find out until the next day. By this time the water had already seaped into the LCD she was still playing it. She gave it back to me when she noticed some keys weren't working anymore. She was so engrossed in the Vice City Stories and was pissed that the buttons were not responding. Thats when I saw water dripping from different openings.

I removed the batteries and water had entered the compartment. I removed the memory card and the UMD and water was everywhere. I decided to try to get rid of the water so I used a blow dryer. I was on the case for at least an hour until the water in the LCD and every visible opening was gone. But the buttons still don't work. When I put it on it showed the normal Welcome screen, then Set time and Date.

I decided to take it to Sony Plaza at Apapa. The guy there just said I should bother fixing it. I should just buy a new one cause the cost of repairs is almost the same as the price of a new one. I don't believe thats true. To me it looks like a simple problem. Please if anybody has an idea of what I can do or how damaged the game is please help me out. I bought it about 4months ago and it is still looks considerably new. I also just bought 2 new game (Need for speed underground and Vice City Stories) that I've just started playing.

Thanks for your replies.

Its only the "X" button that seems to work. The directional keys don't work. The volume control, Home and Start work though. I can't navigate within the Date and Time setup page. Then, the down direction key is down permanetly because the numbers are flickering out of control,  and when u press "X" it selects a number so fast that u can't control it. Its quite random.

Hello peeps,

So far I'm yet to get any helpful hints and nobody seems to have had any problems like this before and solved it. I'm back in school now and hardly have anytime to travel all to way to lagos to fix it. Thinking about selling it as scrap and buying a new one.

Well, reply this thread if you've got any solutions for me.

Thanks
