PlayStation Portable 3000 Series Disassembly

PlayStation Portable LCD screen replacement

This is a brief Youtube video that I found very useful when I first started opening up and repairing PlayStation Portable consoles. This video goes through how to open and and replace a LCD screen on a 2000 series PSP. (Slim & Lite)

How To Open A PSP (2000 series)

This is based on opening up a 2000 series PlayStation Portable.

Much is the same as opening a 1000 series PlayStation Portable, there are still seven screws you need to remove although not in the same positions as the forementioned 1000 series.

There are only two screws in the battery compartment, pictured below

There are a further two screws at the top of the console

One on the bottom

and lastly two more on the other side of the UMD door.

So there are the seven screws, again the only tool you need to remove these screws is a Phillips 000 screwdriver. Once you have removed the above screws you can remove the front faceplate and then continue to do whichever repair is required, of these I intend to go through in more detail in future posts.
