PSP LCD Replacement Guide

Update PSP LCD Replacement now included below!


So, in response to the visits and questions -- I am putting together a quick guide and tutorial on how to do that. This guide will be updated to include more detail over time, and eventually become a step-by-step with pictures. For now, it will be pretty high-level -- but detailed enough for you to complete the job.
Let me start off by saying that the instant you start to undo the first screw on your Sony Playstation Portable (PSP), your warranty with Sony is void. However, if you call and tell Sony that you have a broken LCD, they will immediately flag your account and declare your warranty void anyways. So, in most cases you are in a no-lose situation -- because you have effectively already voided your warranty by breaking the PSP LCD screen.
Ok, now we can get started on the guide. Here is what you are gonig to need to complete the job:
•Replacement Sony PSP Screen with backlight. You can get parts that are just screens that you need to install the backlight in and use your current backlight or buy a complete LCD with backlight. Spend the extra couple of dollars and buy one with backlight, you will not regret it. Where should you buy your LCD Screen? A couple of options, you can follow the reputable advertisers on this page to their site by clicking. Or, you could give eBay a shot -- most vendors are international.

•Precision Screwdriver Set. If you do not have a small precision screwdriver set for eyeglasses or other small electronic, spend the $5 at Home Depot. Otherwise, you run a great risk of stripping out the screws on your Sony PSP while you try repair your broken LCD screen.

Now we can get started on the repair.
1.Layout the parts and screwdrivers and let everything come up to room temperature. For those of us who live in warm weather climates, this is not a big deal. However, if your garage is much colder or the parts are not at 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 hidden 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 screws.

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 cables should still be attached by the clips.

5.Fold the screen down to expose the connections to the clips. Carefully release the clips from the front by gently lifting them with a flat-head screwdriver. Be extremely careful not to break the clips by applying too much pressure. A broken clip is the only thing that will require you to send your PSP into Sony for repair.

6.On the Sony Playstation Portable clips are lifted, the cables will slide out and your broken (shattered) LCD will be ready for disposal.

7.Lay the new LCD screen face down in front of 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 cables may not go in without a little help from a screwdrive or by slightly bending the cables. Be very careful if you need to use this method as you do not want to 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 the metal assembly. Do not 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 back over your case and put all the screws back in.

10.Turn on your PSP and enjoy your new screen!

Sony PSP go Repair Guide

Prepare

 

Tools required:


Nylon Safe Open ToolPliers

Small Phillips Screwdriver

Steady Hands

Contents

Sony has certainly crammed a lot inside the new portable player. We chose the black unit. Take a look at some of the specs:
3.8 inch screen
43% lighter than previous version
16GB on-board flash memory
Bluetooth support
No UMD drive
Memory stick micro support
Download media from PS store
Single analog stick

Included with the PSP go: Unit, power cord and adapter, CD-ROM, manual.

Step 1

This likes to show all of your finger prints so it can look a little messy. Start by removing the four screws on the back panel. There are two more screws on the top panel. After these are removed, take the panel off.

Step 2

Picture of the top screws. Remove now! When the six screws are out, the large black panel will come off easily, the top button panel will also come off, it is clipped on both sides, dont break the clips.

Step 3

WARRANTY ALERT: We were able to remove the battery without tripping the warranty sticker. Im not sure if Sony meant to stick it on the battery or not?

There are several screws and clips to remove in this step. Take a look at the picture to the left to view all clip and screw locations.

Some of these ZIF clips are non-release. You just have to yank the connector from some, others have a flip top with black lifts.

Remove the LR bumpers and note how they are seated for reassembly.

When removing the battery, be careful not to rip the wires from the molex clip as we almost did.

We like the fact that the audio port and joystick are so modular, makes for easy replacement.

Step 4

Before you yank the board out, remove the LCD screen splice cable from the bottom side of the mainboard. Use a nylon spudger tool to unseat the cable. The board should lift out easily now.

Step 5

Ten more screws to remove in this step. Once all screws are removed, take the serial plate off and set it aside.

On the rounded edge of the unit, you will see a small lip, take a finger nail and pry the bezel out so you can access the LCD cable. Lift up carefully and remove the clip pictured.

You now have access to swap out speakers, PSP go LCD Screen, and buttons.

Note the liquid indicator again. Apple, Sony, and MS have really done a great job saving millions in warranty claims by adding these small indicators.

PSP go LCD screen part number: LQ038T3LX01 01C0494454. Probably a Sharp LCD screen.
