PSP Screen Replacement Tutorial
That big shiny screen is one of the PSP's coolest features and its biggest weakness. Many PSP screens have at least a few dead pixels and some have entire lines or groups of them. The PSP screen is also extremely susceptible to cracks and other damage. Even a short fall can ruin it if it's not properly protected. In this tutorial we will show you how to remove the faceplate, screen assembly, and the lcd panel.
You can purchase a replacement PSP screen assembly in the Zombie Store.
Symptoms of a broken PSP screen:

* Parts of the screen are black or garbled

Stuff you will need:

This is a psp with a cracked screen.
The front cover of the PSP is held in place by 5 screws (use your philips screwdriver). To get to two of the screws you have to remove the battery cover and the battery.
Screw #2 may be covered by a warranty sticker. You can try to peel it back a little to get to the screw or you can just rip it off (and void your warranty).
Screw #3 is on the side of the PSP.
The last two screws are on the memory stick side of the PSP. Dont forget to remove the memory stick
When youre done with the screws you can remove the front cover aka faceplate.
Now take off the button bar thats on top of the screen. Its connected to the motherboard by a little cable on the right side of the PSP. Use your nail or a flathead screwdriver to lift up the brownish clasp and pull out the cable.
Here you see the connector for the button bar in the previous picture and two of the clips that hold the lcd assembly.
The other two clips on the left side.
Insert your flathead screwdriver between the screen and the metal screen support and turn it a bit to release the clips on left side. Now you should be able to pull out the screen. Watch out for the two cables that connect the screen to the motherboard.
