PSP - Screen dying; widespread issue or just faulty unit?

Question

I just bought a new PSP the other day, and I've already noticed three times so far, that sometimes if the screen turns off, when it comes back on, about a quarter of the screen on the far right is dead. Turning the screen off and on (usually by powercycling the unit, because I don't feel like waiting for it to time out), it's just fine.

It seems odd that a brand new PSP would have an issue like this, but I'm not about to entirely dismiss the idea that it could just be a faulty unit.

Now, this is my first PSP, so I've never really been up to date with the PSP scene and news, so I'm not sure if this is some sort of widespread issue.

Should I assume that I just have a faulty unit and should take it back for replacement? Or does anybody know if there is some sort of quick fix for something like this?

You can take it back and try to get a new one or you can replace the screen yourself.  If you want to replace it yourself you can find replacement screens everywhere on the net and a good guide to walk you through it will run you about 20 bucks.
