No, this isn't some crazy new contest, this is a demonstration of how to install a PSP mod called PSPTV. It basically involves taking out every damn screw and peeling off every piece of adhesive. I'm sure there are people out there who have actually gone through this nightmare process, but I'll never be one of them.
I recommend viewing with the music off, because it loops to eternity.

Thoughts ?
lol, i just dismantle my psp in order to change my broken screen to a new one........... took me 30 minutes..........
That PSP2TV vid has been around ages :rolleyes:
Are those things any cheaper yet? I want one so I can control my in-car PSP with a pad but nearly £100 is a bit extravagant even for me :D
Wow, very cool!
After opening my psp ive had serious problems with my R button getting stuck and etc but I get used to it. Maybe I did something wrong, ill ask them if they can ship me a new one
ive never had a reason to open my psp. :P
Thoughts:
I hope I never have to do it.
I've attempted to install PSP2TV before. Needless to say, I've got two batteries, two 32mb cards, and two power chargers. Call it a $350 lesson in not fixing things that ain't broke.
Yeah, this video pretty much guided me through installing my new motherboard....It's been on the net for quite some time, though.
This lied! It said you could dismantle the PSP in five minutes with this! It took me a whole 5 minutes and 1 second to do it! cheap!
i wont do it also!
I desmanteld one of mine just to see the inside. But i also changed the fase plate.
I hope not to have to do this, but it would be fun, i screwed up my ipod video by taking it apart, in wont close anymore. :(
I thought it would be more complicated then that. I might get a faceplate now ive seen how easy it is to open up.
Can anyone tell me what the highest qaulity faceplate is?
I have installed two screens using this video.
i take apart my psp's for kicks >.>
Replacing the faceplate is really easy. You have to worry about dust that may fall behind your replacement faceplate, or on the PSP's exposed LCD screen. Always work in a sterile environment... I didn't. There's still a few dust particles behind the faceplate that can be seen in some lightings.
As for highest quality faceplates, I'd buy an official Sony faceplate, or maybe the faceplates advertised on DC Emu. I made the mistake of buying a faceplate on eBay. I needed a faceplate (there's a humongous crack in the original), so I bought a cool-looking third-party completely transparent one. The D-pad and face button holders weren't shaped properly, so I couldn't put my original ones on (meaning I'd have no D-pad or face buttons), and it wouldn't fit all the way on the PSP screen. So, don't trust just any faceplate.
I disassembled my PSP and it STILL has the cracked faceplate with the dust behind it...
What's the point of completly dismantling a PSP?
I won't do it, because I can't afford another one if I fark something up. :P
five minutes my ars! it took me 1 hour to figure out how to change my LCD screen
how long would it take to put a joy stick.....analog stick...whatever u call it...lol?
Is there any place selling PSP's pre-modded with this PSP-2 TV thing? I would buy one. I already have the NYCO PSP on TV adaptor, but the picture quality is better on this one, and I would love to play my PSP with a PS2 controller :D
There is no way in hell I'm trying to install this thing myself. lol
If the quality for PSPTV is good and perhaps if the price is decent then maybe it's worth spending time and money on (if you're into that kind of thing).
EDIT - Also, I was thinking again about the irony of the Modchip & downdater/devhook thing that pretty much made the modchip obsolete and I was thinking:
The recent news about the PS3/PSP interconnectivity is fairly interesting and if it's as good as we hope it will be, then perhaps there is a way to exploit it to run homebrew or regular PSP UMD titles on your Television. Such a cabaility would make something like this 119 USD product obsolete as well.
Still, even to consider this you'll need to drop your 600 USD for a high-end PS3...
Worth it? Idk.

you couldnt pay me to do that!!!!
unless it was with someone elses PSP =D
I think that I would lose some screws in the process. What was very nice of that video was the music, much fun!
If you're on about changing the analogue nub then it takes about 15 seconds! :D I got a couple (small/large) off ebay and they just plop on! :pQuote:

if that guy is going for speed, in the video there are bunches of little "lags" in the video where he instantly jumps to doing other things. i dont know what you mean by this "dismantle in 5 minutes".
MrNick: there are ones that are the exact same thing as this one but require no modding of your psp.... they just snap on. u dont have to open your psp or anything.
Do they look sexy and where can I be directed to them!? :pQuote:

Plus, this would allow you to use a PS2 paddle to play your psp games. :D
/\ /\ I thought Id seen something like that on here! :rolleyes: Hmmm.. This version (even though its more invasive) seems like the best option :) Like you say - The ability to use a PSX controller is really cool :p It does look very discreet the way theyve cased it too :cool:Quote:
