HELP ME
Answer It sounds like you've got something in there shorting out the headphone jack, so the PSP thinks that headphones are engaged, even when they aren't. You'll need a few things to see what is in there...
Look inside the jack with the magnifying glass and using the light source. You should see all the way to the back of the jack. Use the dental pick to loosen whatever it is that is shorting the two leads together. This should take care of your problem.
If it doesn't work, you can remove the face of the PSP and gain easier access to the headphone jack. Do not do this unless you are confident in your ability to put it back together without having parts left over!
