Remove Your PSP Faceplate
Changing your PSP faceplate is a quick and painless process if done properly, but if done incorrectly it can be a pain. Your PSP is an expensive piece of equipment so be careful at all times. This process will void your PSP warranty so be careful)
Steps
- Unscrew the screw in the battery box under the battery (remove the battery and it is the screw on the top left corner of the battery compartment). This is very hard to do and may hurt your hands!!
- Unscrew the screw on the bottom left of the battery compartment (this will be under the warranty sticker).
- Unscrew the screws on the side of your PSP where you insert a memory stick. There are two little holes to stick your screwdriver into. (If the screw won't come out after you have completely unscrewed, turn your PSP over and shake it so that the screw falls into your hand.)
- Unscrew the screw on the very bottom of your PSP. If you hold your PSP like you are playing it and turn it up you will see it.
- Unscrew the screws on the top of your PSP next to the USB port.
- Remove the faceplate starting at the bottom where your Start, Select, and Home buttons are. Lift at the bottom and the top will come out.
Warnings
- This will void your PSP warranty.
- Make sure not to strip your screws or this will not be possible.
Things You'll Need
- A PSP
- A small screwdriver
- A non static cloth (the one that came with your PSP will work)
- A new faceplate (if you are changing your faceplate)
- A new button set (if you are changing your buttons)
