    • Place PSP face down, so that the UMD Drive is facing upwards.

    • Locate the battery door and open.

    • Remove the battery from inside.

    • This step requires the removal of the warranty sticker. Removing the sticker will void the warranty. According to the FTC removing this will not void your warranty.

    • Locate the sticker in the battery compartment labeled: "En: Warranty Void if Seal Damaged."

    • Remove the sticker using the PSP Opening Tools.

    • Under the sticker is a 5mm Phillips screw needed in the next step.

    • Remove four 5 mm Phillips from the case.

    • If the screws stick in the case, you can use a magnetized screwdriver to draw them out.

    Edit

  4. PSP 2000 Logic Board Replacement: step 4, image 1 of 2 PSP 2000 Logic Board Replacement: step 4, image 2 of 2

    • Remove the following screws from around the bezel:

    • Two 4 mm Phillips

    • One 5 mm Phillips

    • The two shorter 4 mm screws are on the top of the PSP; the longer 5 mm screw is on the bottom.

    Edit

    Beware that some models of PSP 2000 (mine is a limited edition Crisis Core FF7 silver version, so I suppose it is related to it being a japanese PSP) have 2 minute TORX screws (T1? T2?) instead of the 2x 4mm Phillips pointed in orange around the USB port.

    • Gently pry the front bezel away from the casing using a PSP opening tool.

    • Start on the right hand side of the PSP bezel, and carefully work the tool around the side.

    • If you want to clean the control buttons or D-pad, you can easily pop them out once the faceplate is off and wipe them clean.

    • With the home bar out of the way, gently pry up the display using the opening tools.

    • There is another ribbon cable attached to the bottom of the LCD. Be careful not to damage either of the connectors when removing.

    • Lift the black tabs of the ribbon cable connectors using a opening tool. Pull the ribbons out towards the bottom of the PSP to disconnect.

    • Gently lift out the display.

    Edit

    There are 2 ribbons connected to the screen. Both of them have to be disconnected in order to remove the screen.

    Do not lift the black tab on the thin cable. That's attached to the logic board.

    • Use an opening tool to lift up the brown tab on the connector and remove the cable horizontally.

    • Gently remove the memory card slot by pulling it straight out.

    Edit

    That's just removing the D-pad. The memory card slot is part of the main logic board.

    • Use the opening tools to press the tab on the left-hand side of the speaker to release it.

    • One wiring harness -- use your fingers, a PSP opening tool, or tweezers to disconnect the connector horizontally.
