Replacing PSP 1000 Screen

So last summer, my sister broke my psp by dropping it. At the worst possible moment, we were heading down to san diego in two days : (

Anyway, it has been laying around useless for 3/4 a year, so i decided to finally fix it.

Step 1: The parts/tools

To preform this procedure, you'll need;

-PSP with a broken screen
-A new screen
-A sturdy philips screwdriver
-Air compressor/canned air
-Toilet paper
-A magnet
-Flat head

Optional
-New faceplate
-Screen Protector

where could I buy the PSP Screen cheap one at online store?

[Sandisk1duo]

ebay has the cheapest screens, make sure that it's compatible with your version or PSP i got mine for about $20

[daiatlus79]

found one on amazon.com for 15 bucks... Sharp Brand (for the Phat)

[Sandisk1duo]

those are 'used' screens, they have been pulled from working PSPs

[XboxModz]

NEW LCD screens for the PSP 1000 can be purchased on amazon (as of this writing) for $17. These screen are OEM "Sharp" and are not used.

Anyway, why doesn't anyone ever mention replacing the dust gasket on these screens? I guess I'll write a "proper" replacement guide for replacing the screen on a PSP 1000, since I didn't find a single complete guide anywhere on the internet.

[daiatlus79]

not this one.. still had the blue plastic and foam packaging around it. and its Sharp too. not a refurb thats for sure.

[Sandisk1duo]

just buy the $20 model, i'm sure it will work

[riccolesmana]

wow! it was so cheap...
i'll try to search it on ebay now..

ty =]

at here _{I can only found the LCD on game store. and priced around $70... it was so expensive..}

[Sandisk1duo]

rule of thumb: if you can buy it online, you can buy it cheaper on ebay

anyone know where to get a PSP-2000 motherboard, ebay sells them for $115, in the long run i think its better to just buy a new one. When I tried to replace the screen following instructions i got from the place i got it, the cracked screen cable ended up pulling the connector off the board. Is it possible to repair the connector if not then ill end up buying a new psp sooner or later, costs too much for the motherboard.

[Sandisk1duo]

The connector i found on ebay:

I also found a motherboard:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Slim-PSP-2000-Part-TA-088-Motherboard-100-WORKING-/290419665429?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item439e5c6a15


but before you buy either, Go on Craigslist.com and see if anyone is selling a psp 2000 motherboard

[zer0darkx]

thanks alex-sharetskiy, I was checking into the connector but they are selling the big connector socket, but I needed the small one. The instructions said to lightly pull the small connector which I did but it took off the connector with 2 of the pins. I contacted the guy on ebay to see if he has a small connector and ill check craigs list. Just wanted to thank you for finding me those links. The second one I am kinda hesitant on used products lol. But really appreciate you looking but the connector part made me interested to look more. thanks

Do the PSP units have external A/V inputs?  Can the back light module be removed from the LCD?

[andreblue]

the 2000 and up do but the 100 nope.you just need the cord they sell for it

[Sandisk1duo]

i don't think psps have A/V inputs


the backlight module is removable

[Foxtrot70]

The reason for my question is that I am looking to build a compact video projector.

[Sandisk1duo]

you can find a PS1 screen, those are 5 by 5 inches, cost $50 and take composite input

[bow s410]

do you know if this will work on the psp 3000

[Sandisk1duo]

the steps should be "similar"



you will need to get a psp 3000 screen

[badboypl3]

can you put a 1000 screen on a 2000 model? Can you fold up the orange foil and make it fit without breaking it?

[Sandisk1duo]

i wouldn't risk using a 1000 screen on a 2000 model

just buy the real thing

[mIG96]

OH THATS HOW IT WORKS

[heavydeath]

my fourth screw in my psp 1000 wont come out or loosen i dont know what to do

[Sandisk1duo]

did you strip the screw?

[heavydeath]

no it was the first time i tried it was as if the screw was a different size

[Sandisk1duo]

if i remember right, all the screws are the same size (except the one in the center of the screen)

try to use a different size screwdriver, and apply preassure

[Musicman41]

What kind of screen do i need for a silver psp? Is that the 3000 series?

[Sandisk1duo]

hmm... look at your psp find the start button, 1cm below your start button, (on the side) there will be a barcode, if it ends with -psp2001, you'll need a psp 2000 screen

[Musicman41]

It ends with psp 3001

[Sandisk1duo]

then you'll need a psp 3000 screen those are about $50

[Musicman41]

Thanks, I got one from ebay for $33. A good buy in my opinion

[Sandisk1duo]

if you constantly play psp then yes

[k_man93]

is that a nikon? lol

[Sandisk1duo]

nope!

[pancho del rancho]

U THINK IT CAN BE WATER

[Sandisk1duo]
