Why did we as a society move away from clear electronics

I found my old psp 3000 about a month ago, it’s completely dusty, the joystick unresponsive, the x button totally jammed, and the screen trashed. But it somehow still has life in it when I charged it with a cable for a car. So I ordered all the necessary parts for it. Definitely coming back to this video when they arrive :) Update: I got the psp back to its old self 👍🏾

Where did you order the screen from?

Your guide was indispensable. It helped me quite a lot. I had a black PSP 3001. There were a few parts throughout the process that differed from your own breakdown process, but with a little common sense, I was able to keep going anyways. Mine didn't have the WiFi cable, it also had a spring holder for the UMD door spring built into the silver trimming, and the button bar had extra plastic tabs that made it a nasty pain to figure out. Regardless of the divergence from your walkthrough, it was solid, and I now have a new dark green housing for the system. I kept the old buttons in, replaced the joystick, and it's all solid.

Literally the best disassembly and rebuild out there for the PSP, voice and video quality is insane and so clear!

Thanks Man, I'm happy you like it!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! The clear visuals, video quality, and audio made replicating the steps at home a breeze. I rebuilt my PSP with no prior knowledge, pretty much everything else (such as soldering and sourcing parts) could be learned _except_ safe disassembly/reassembly; thanks to you I successfully installed a larger modded battery and replaced the housing without a hitch.

You said it right... "Your mileage may vary"... Great video, I used it start to finish my PSP, and despite the cheap quality shell, this turned out great! Thank you for this awesome video!

Thank you so much! the only thing keeping me from replacing my psp shell was the lack of a guide to do it, your video is excellent! It took me around 4 hours to do it, but I was able to complete it without breaking any parts 😅, luckily my replacement shell had not many issues

A suggestion: before taking the home button row, take out the lower silver trim, or else you'll break the plastic of the lower button row. And, if the plastic of the home button row is still intact, you install lower silver trim back after you install the home button row, since it stays under the lower silver trim.

Even though mine is a 2000 model and has some slight differences I was able to get it apart and back together with your help! Thanks dude! (EDIT - typos)

Thank you so much, thanks to your guide I could swap my very old casing. Only thing is I had weird greyish (not dark) spots on some places of the screen after reassembling that I didn't have when testing… I thought it might be dust or moisture, so I had to disassemble again and tried to clean the screen but broke it when I put the microphone thingy back, so now I also need a new screen… I had to change the battery and bought a bigger memory stick too, so essentially it will be a nearly brand new PSP, but it's starting to be expensive… Anyway, thanks for your great guide, by far the best I could find :)

Planning to replace my psp shell and lcd screen in a few weeks so this video is very helpful in many ways.

Lots of good information! I'm glad you showed how fix minor problems.

I'm glad I found this video. My PSP shell has a massive crack in it and I figured if I was going to take it apart to fix the power switch anyways I may as well swap to a new shell

Wow the most clear and easy to follow video i had watched so far......

this was perfect i cant wait til your channel blows up and gets uuuuge with that quality . great job and thanks!

I have to look for my old psp 3000 now and restore everything back to its glory. Thank u :)

Best video of replacing psp housing i have seen, good job 👍👍

Well deserved SUB ! Really impressed with accuracy :)

Thank you so much! Im about to start using my old psp again, but the paint on the shell has been chipping away for years and the screen is all scratched so I wanted to replace the shell before i started using it again. Itll arrive later today and your video will be essential with this task!

Just finished the whole process. It took about 4 hours and it was worth it. For me. I choose to go with a shell swap because the one I had found was literally falling apart and broken all over. In addition, half of the buttons weren't working, so if I had to go in to repair those I might as well swap shells while I'm at it. If you're thinking of doing this just for cosmetic reasons, or because you want a new color, then I say DO NOT DO IT. He was right when he was talking about poor tolerances and an after-market shell will never fit or feel as good as the origional.

@@hazarduzxc2272 If you're doing a shell swap I would recommend using the original buttons. Just make sure to compare colors before you commit. And be careful with the home row (volume buttons, home button, start/select). It can't bend very far before it breaks, so if you need to take it off make sure to keep it as straight as possible.

Used your video as a guide. Thanks so much my guy XD

This is the guide that ever existed for shell replacement.

Best tutorial video ever.

Thanks!

Just re-shell'd mine with your help. There were some small differences between my 3000 and the one in the video. My triggers snapped in place instead of being held by screws. My disc door spring did not have a block to hold the spring in place, it was manufactured into the case. Wifi was located in different area. Was frustrating but I managed to to replace without breaking anything. Thanks for the video.

The clamp? is that for the thin lcd cable? Double check to make sure that the locking tab is actually broken, you may be able to simply put it back in. Alternatively, if it really is broken, then you may be able to layer some sticky tape on the bottom side of the cable (the side without the contacts) and stuff it back into the socket. In the absolute worst case, you could remove and solder a new socket, or have someone do it for you - im sure you can get the part
