Probably. Problem is, it also corrodes the connectors. So the more you do 
it, the worse it gets. Best thing to do is rubbing alcohol on a q-tip. Or 
rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth wrapped around a few old credit cards or a 
thin piece of wood.

some were ridiculously pricey). And right from day one, you knew that the 
PSP's use of discs was a colossally stupid thing to do on a *portable*.
