[QUOTE=''dontshackzmii'']how the hell did this happen?[/QUOTE]It happened when my brother used my PSP for one night :?
First call an exterminator, then se f you can exchange it somewhere.
Can you please explain in more detail just exactly what happened? It might help to know all the facts. Did these ants literally rip the drive apart? Or did they just dance around for a while inside the drive? It might just be that the lens needs cleaning or something.

Pour out a can of Coca-Cola next to the PSP, but make sure the device is kept at a safe distance. Next, open up the UMD Drive. From there, just wait. Within an hour, all the insects should be out of the system and all over the soda. And it's here where you can choose to exact vengeance upon them!Hope that helps. :)

''Next to the PSP'' doesn't necessarily imply it being poured just half an inch away. ;)

Yay! My PSP got fixed! ^_^It turns out that a few wires got cut and that some parts got loose due to percussive maintenance.So it turns out that I broke my PSP while removing the ants :P
Well at least you got it fixed xD;; I had ants get into my PSP once when I left it on the floor next to my bed during an ant infestation :P But there was only a few then.
