supergamecube14 · 09-17-2006, 10:20 AM

Um, How do I remove the faceplate? Do I have to remove all of the screws? I already have the two silver ones in the battery box and the silver one on the bottom off, so what now?

Kyle0wnsYou · 09-18-2006, 04:53 PM

Wow. Awesome guide. I wish I had this when I replaced my LCD screen awhile back. Back then, I just had to "go for it."

No you dont need to remove the two screws. Just take all the other ones off.

**sin22eze** · 10-23-2006, 03:33 PM

yea.... i believe every1 is waiting for part 2... atm i have opened up my psp all the way to the wifi component (need to remove motherboard to get to) to clean up some coke i spilled awhile back... i've finally fixed my psp issues... if only i read this guide then i wouldn't of broken the long brown clasp from the lcd in half... but luckily i broke only a third of the clasp and re-fitted the other 2/3 which stills holds the connector firm in place... but anyway... i would love to see or know which screw it is exactly... so i may remove umd door but i won't remove the drive yet... but am thinkin of getting my whole psp re-housed with a new color scheme plus a fresh look to it... getting complaints telling me i have heaps of scratches.. so until i go experimenting with the unknown... would love to know which screw to the umd door plz..

thanks in advance

The thing is, it is very hard and risky

**sin22eze** · 10-23-2006, 04:07 PM

yea i know but really if you want... next time i will take pics.. if i show a pic of the area under the motherboard can you tell me which screw... cos i've removed my motherboard numerous of times to find the source of my psp switching off with the green power light still on... the coke spill was the cause of the short circuit... 'cos after i cleaned the motherboard with meth spirit gently wiping it.. my psp is fine now..

oops found the hinge i had to push out.. great guide btw...
