Amazing 2 videos helped a lot on which tools to use and what parts to cut with the flush cutter I was mainly stuck on how to put the yellow power switch 8:15 your the only video that shows it 👍 If anyone gonna do a shell swap make sure to take pictures every time u take a part off or a screw so u can remember how to put it back

Next 2 Videos Will Be: - 3DS Analog Stick Adaption - AliExpress PSPs

Thank you, priceless video I will even save it to my hdd to not to lose

Awesome Job I like the 2 tone with the black buttons !

Its such a shame the third party shells are made with such poor tolerances since a lot of second hand psp are "well loved" so to speak. Tried cleaning up my 1000 and 2000 with new shells and failed on both of them. Gamgear shells are much better made

Out of the 3 models I found at least for now and at this time, 3000 shells have the best chance of a good result. They seem to come and go and which manufacturer build is sent is usually a coin toss.

Very nice.

I expected a reassembly tutorial tbh now I’m here with a disassembled psp and gotta retrace the steps of the last video backwards :/

Your right, all this work then no reassembly tutorial. I'll make sure to make one. Then repeat it all 4 more times for the 2000, 3000, Go & E1000 : |

@@TotalKommandoWell I appreciate the effort. I still needed a reassembly guide after using the disassembly guide. It just seemed like you did one especially cuz you say there’s two parts

Great video! Have there been any reports of success using the original silver outer frame (along with original power/WiFi switch, etc) in a third party front + back shell?

I got you, so I just tried swapping my transparent glossy 1000 shell with the 2 part power switch to an OG Shell, everything fits alright, not perfect but it works, the top piece was the worse Swapping the otherway around, depending on what third party shell you got, you may need to trim the bottom lip on the OG power switch side, since there is no cut out on it, at least on my glossy transparent 1000 shell Just be ready to do tiny slot expansion/trims on the shell if you want it to drop in without too much stress on the plastics

@@TotalKommando Thanks! I just ordered a purple transparent 1000 shell (the only one I could find available on eBay) and the silver outer frame part has weird manufacturing circles here and there on it. I was thinking of just using the OG shell with OG power switch + Wifi switch etc to work around this. Unless there are any purple transparent shells of high quality you'd recommend elsewhere? I haven't identified a reliable source to find high quality shell replacements at this point

​@@trashcanpatrol The fact you found a purple transparent 1000 shell is a miracle, those have been sold out for years so its practically rare lol Once you get it, you will figure out what to do, but if you wanna be on the safe side, you could order a spare trim outline from aliexpress or ebay just in case. Worse Best Case is you paint the trim black, throw on original black buttons and you got a sick unique psp 1000. The only good 1000 shells I have found are the matt finish transparent shells I have linked in the description, they have nearly OEM fit, its amazing.

@@TotalKommando Sorry for my delay, I didn't see the notification on KZread until just now! That's awesome though! That re-ignites my interest to get the shell swap working. I had no idea how to describe it but trim outline is what I'll look for; thank you! I'm hoping this shell will be a good fit and everything, but will see. Hadn't even thought to check for extra shell parts to swap in, so that's a great option!

I want to see someone make the back logo glow and flash when the umd loads

All models are in the works, I gotta do Disassembly/Reassembly video followed by the Shell Swap video. They should be better structured than this one.

i did this and i think the corrosion in my ribbon cables for the triggers broke connection after moving it around because they auto press.... I ordered replacement ribbons I hope that fixes it

Thankfully I can tell you in my experience those replacement ribbons work pretty well.

Your hands are either ginormous or my hands were just small when I had one of these. I think it's the first one.

I would say my my hands are medium the close up wide angle makes them look bigger, but my hands were definitely smaller as a kid lol I used the same techniques from 2008 to open and close.

Bought a third party shell on AliExpress. Buttons aren’t working, any suggestions? Thank you

Use original buttons or buy white buttons from ali express, the white ones work well

Hi ! Would you know how to fix a 1000 PSP with original shell, the original UMD driver door doesn't close flush on both sides. Thanks !

@TotalKommando

Ай бұрын

For that you want to look at and tweak 2 things 1 - The 2 side tabs need to be streight 2 - The latch and latch clip both are making proper contact, i usually bend one or use soldering iron to bring the door clip closer. I need to cover this someday in a video

Add tape to the bottom of the plastic buttons, till things feel right, sometimes the silicon is worn and needs to be replaced if you had this problem before the swap

@TotalKommando

2 ай бұрын

A small piece of tape to each of the sides, just big enough to not interfere with anything surrounding it, sometimes you have to add more than 1 layer, sometimes its becomes the opposite. You could also try adding a later of something thin like a piece of paper to push up the side you need to function better. Works for the DPAD but not so as east for the face buttons
