Replacing a Broken Sony PSP Screen 

Fr bro, my PSP is still damaged but the new screen is on the way, I'm so excited and already looking for tutorials, I want it working ASAP, I love PSP but there was a the moment when I was even bored of it but now I want to stay hours and hours in my PSP, can't wait, I can't stop thinking on all the games I want to play

​@@jaffetsanz7161 have you repaired it? I bought 3 lcd screens for my PSP 3000 but they're all damaged

@jasonsudeikis26 I'm at 5 ordered but broken screens

@jasonsudeikis26 i bought 3 oem ones first, all broken. Where did you bought yours?

I was thinking the same.

I understand the allure for its strategy/tactical RPG goodness, but games looked bad on it. PS Vita is where my handheld love is.

yeah, it was sorta like a portable ps2, and the ds basically had ps1 quality graphics by comparison lol

@@justdev8965 Yep, until you couldn't get games for it anymore.

You wuold explode if you knew that the psp was able to emulate the ds (unplayable, youd get 4% of its normal speed) but yes it could play ds games

@@stoutishvoice4185 Desmume PSP is actually still indev, there have been major performance improvements. Pokemon Diamond boots and runs at near fullspeed on the title screen.

@ as a vita fanboy, I don't always love the full screen stretch. It looks soft and fuzzy. Original size all day long.

At first I read that as "I think I'll break my PSP tonight" like cool you enjoyed the video but don't break your console so you have an excuse to fix it.

What do you mean with adaptor? Are you referring to an adaptor for the charger ?

@@Arturo-hc9pl It comes with a power adaptor to power the PSP and also charge the battery while it is installed in the PSP.

I got a really cheap battery for my PSP 3001c (64GB with permanent infinity/lme installed) and it only runs for 1 to 1 1/2 hours when my original sony battery would run for 6 - 7 hours, I took the original battery pack apart to replace the battery inside with a new one (so it wouldn't leak) and haven't done the replacement yet but I will now that I have a new temperature controlled soldering iron (ts80p) and have put some solder on the original battery pack's board for the new battery to connect (also checked which way around it needs to go and marked it) I just need to find a good pouch type battery with the same voltage and capacity that will fit right, when I get the old battery repaired I'm going to use that one in the PSP and make an adapter for the junk one to use it in my xbox 360 controller until it doesn't hold a charge.

My PSP seems to be a PSP1004 how about that?

Did you watch it?

All of them broke? You might want to follow that up with a video on proper handling of a PSP. haha ;-)

Get it fixed, and then keep us posted!

Man, same!

they are similar except for a few main issues, 1 UMD is actually smaller than minidisc, 2 UMD uses a Red laser like DVD where as minidisc uses an infared like CD and 3 Minidisc is opto mechanical for its re-writability and UMD is purely optical, im pretty sure that since they needed to create a disc format with larger capacity than minidisc was able to handle they then wanted to make everything incompatible so you would never be able to shove a Minidisc into a PSP, unfortunately i think they screwed up the UMD sucks because its protective caddy isnt very protective, the hole for the laser doesnt have a door like minidisc, and the shell comes apart far too easy ive got many PSP games that the shells dont want to stay together or the clear plastic on top pops out. i do think that could have honestly just changed the minidisc caddy just enough to make the two incompatible but yet still provide that lovely protection minidisc had.

I remember when this was first done back in the day. Being able to play PS1 games on the go that easily was like witchcraft. No portable emulators could do PS1 games yet.

The 2000/3000 systems are easier to fix (the motherboard is one big piece and for most repairs there are no clips holding it together).

It did surprise me however that the 1001 has a screen made by sharp... i just always assumed it was a sony screen since Sony has a huge line of TVs monitors and other display devices that sonys game console would use as much sony hardware as possible.

Got one for my 1001 and it looks sweeet. The lack of ghosting is awesome

also 5000mah battery, have mine modded and last for 12hrs

@@lensboi1229 I like the UMD drive too much to axe it for the extra lithium, even if it is loud and slow and power hungry. The UMD was the PSP’s trump card back in the day, so I wanted to keep it. I ended up replacing the lithium cell in my original battery with, a 2200 mAh cell from I think a baby monitor. Wouldn’t recommend it for most people but it worked. Besides, if I cared about battery life, that’s what my Vita is for 😁

I think You've just had bad luck. I've repaired about 15-20 PSP 3000's with broken screen during 2020, and haven't got big issues with the replacement screens from ebay. Many of them have one or two dead pixels, but that's just the way it goes with LCD technology from this era. There are dead pixels on original Sony screens very often also. None of the screens from china have been completely faulty, I think one of them had some black particles (dust) under the screen glass and other one had some scratches on the screen. All of the PSP 1k screens I've ordered have been legit Sharp panels because I think they used the same exact LCD in some other applications (musical keyboards?). 3k and 2k screens are usually aftermarket stuff, so maybe the quality isn't always perfect.

there's also brand new oled screens for psp now

@@Chaosghoul I think you mean IPS

Recell is probably the best option for the budget conscious. Almost the same performance as a Cameron Sino battery, or even an OEM Sony one.

Agreed 100% on this sentiment.

The Vita is the ultimate PSP.

Why? If the batteries keep swelling, is the circuitry worth salvaging? This seems like it would need testing.

@@simeonjohnston5941 Battery swelling doesn't always mean battery leak, as it is in this case - genuine PSP batteries may bloat, but they rarely leak. And aftermarket PSP batteries have terrible control circuits. Why not desolder an aftermarket battery pack to the OEM circuitry? On my PSP Slim, battery got swollen, but the circuitry remained intact ... And Sony OEM circuit boards do a great job at controlling their battery packs ... Too bad Sony didn't make their OEM packs of decent quality, as well ...

PS3 The psp was able to link and play games with the PS3 not the PS2.
