I knew a site(I visited it like twice in june...) that they ran tests on the PSP.
They had teared apart than rebuilt the PSP and put images of the interior on the article.
The site was PSPsomething... :P
I totally forgot about it... but it was a site that was always being offline, both site and forum...
I'm registred at the forum, but I can't find it by searching in google by shiaoran+psp(would lead to all sites that have my username and the word psp)...
Thats disgusting! How very disappointed I am with you for being so careless.Quote:
I broke dropped my PSP from about a foot of the ground it cracked the screen when I first bought it, it cost me £70 to get it repaired... Very evil
well if you read it all than you would now that it still is just an idea. i'm trying to think outside the box make psp better. than let sony sue the sh*t out of me. anyway the possibilty of hardware modification on the psp is undetermined at the point.and to quote myself "who knows whats posible". oh and thanks for the info on how much memory i would need.Quote:

With my first psp I cracked the screen long ago, actually not me but a douchebag who I worked with at the time.
Long story short, I ordered a screen in from oversea's, I think it cost me about $100 after paying for the money order and the slow ass shipping and everything. The screen went in fine but you have to be ultra delicate, there is a tiny tiny distortion in the screen casing which now causes a small pressure mark at the top of my screen.
The psp is easy to open and work with, I recommend doing so in the cleanest room in your house to prevent dust from getting in to your screen, bathrooms seem to be the best place to prevent dust. Worst thing ever is getting a big ball of dust behind your screen. Get an air can too and be delicate.
If you open your psp, have the following tools
FINE needle nose pliers or tweasers
some phillips style watch screwdrivers.
some small flatheads or some other tool is necessary for removing things like the screen, which are clipped into place.
I'm not gonna post the entire procedure here because it was quite complex, I saw a video but if you consider yourself competitent it's not really to bad. If you choose to do replace a screen, it may be wise to get a screen + backlight in the assembly, because replacing the panel alone is much more complex.
Good luck with any hacking you do and I take no responsibility, but if you have a fuxxored psp, what choice do you have.
