Introduction
Did you drop your PSP? If your LCD is broken for any reason, you're in luck! This guide will show you how to replace that LCD with a brand new one.
Step 1 Battery
Press the button securing the battery door to the PSP 300xc, and lift the battery door off.
Lift the battery out of the PSP.
Step 2 Front Case
Use a spudger or your fingernail to remove the warranty sticker stuck to the inside of the battery tray
Step 3
Remove four Phillips screws from the back of the PSP.
Step 4
Remove two Phillips screws from the top of the PSP.
Step 5
Remove a single screw from the bottom edge of the PSP.
Step 6
Insert a spudger between the front case and PSP, and slide the spudger along the perimeter of the front case to remove it.
Step 7 LCD
Step 8
Push the home bar to the right about 1cm to release a tab, and begin to lift the right end of the home bar slightly.
Do not attempt to remove the home bar yet, it is still attached to the PSP 300xc.
Step 9
Insert a spudger under the LCD, beside the black plastic tab.
Push the LCD to the left and pry up to release the left edge of the LCD from under the plastic tab.
Step 10
Insert a spudger under the LCD, beside the black plastic tab.
Push the LCD to the right and pry up to release the right edge of the LCD from under the plastic tab.
Step 11
Rotate the LCD away from the PSP to reveal the LCD and home bar ribbon cables.
Use your fingernail or the edge of a plastic opening tool to flip up the retaining flap on the following four ZIF connectors:
Home bar cable
Microphone cable
LCD display data cable
Touchscreen cable
Be sure you are prying up on the retaining flap, not the socket itself
After flipping up the locking tabs on all four connectors, use your fingers or a spudger to gently pull the cables straight out of the connectors.
Step 12
Remove the LCD from the PSP 300xc.
