Is the PSP analog only supposed to work for games?

[PrinceNeil]

I haven't bought any games yet, but I've been playing around with this thing and so far I have 4-5 white pixels very noticable.
Also, the analog stick doesn't work on any of the menu or options...is it supposed to work only on games or did I get a dud??

The analog nub only works for games.
