Now we can get started on the repair:
1. Layout the parts and screwdriver and let everything come up to room temperature.For those of us who live in warm weather climates,this isn't a big deal.However,if your garage is much colder or the parts are not the similar temperatures you could have issues in some circumstances.
2. there are six screws that you need to take out in order to open up your PSP case.Two of them are hoidden underneath the battery.Before you can get to them,you must remove the black strip of tape near the bottom of the compartment.This is the warranty tape,removing it will expose the last two screw.
3. Carefully separate the plastic casing for your PSP by removing the top cover on your PSP and set it aside.This should separate very easily,if you have troubles removing it,there is still a screw left on your PSP.
4. Using a small,flat precision screwdriver(exacto knife may also work),pry the metal edges of the silver screen assembly from the LCD screen,the LCD should pop out,but the cable should still be attached by the clip.
5. fold the screen down to expose the connections to the clips,Carefully release the clips from the front by gently lifting them with flat-head screwdriver.Be extremely careful not to break the clip by applying too much pressure.A broken clip is the only thing that will require you to send your PSP into sony repair.

7. Lay the new LCD screen face down in front your PSP so that you can access the cable clips and gently slide the cables all the way into the clips.(in some cases,the cable may not go without a little help from a screwdriver or by slightly bending the cables.Be very careful if you need to use this method as you don’t wanna damage the leads of the cable)Now,close the clips by snapping them down.
8. fold the new sony PSP LCD screen up and snap it back into metal assembly.Don’t put on the LCD screen itself as it is very sensitive and you could crack it.Snap it in by pressing along the edges of the unit. It should go together very easily.
9. Place the cover over your case and put all the screws back in.
10. Turn on your PSP and enjoy your new screen.
