Einleitung

This guide will show you how to remove the PSP's housing/frame.

Werkzeuge

Phillips #00 Screwdriver

Schritt 1

Turn the PSP over so its back is facing you.

Schritt 2

Locate the battery casing button on the rear-left side of the PSP.
Press down the button and remove the battery cover.

Schritt 3

Using your finger, remove the battery upwards from the system as shown.

The use of the opening tool is completely unnecessary. There is a finger actuated opening latch button that says “PUSH” on it. Simply press down with your thumb then slide your thumb down and away, dragining the battery door with it. It will then come off. Assuming the system still has its original plastics, they may have become brittle enough that the opening tool could damage the release button or the plastic cover.

Schritt 4

Remove the four screws shown with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
You will have to peel back the guarantee sticker to access the screw on the lower left.

Much luck to you if you have a tiny, metal screwdriver like I did, the screws might be stuck in there and may require some force.

you need to peel back the warranty sticker in order to access both the lower left and lower left screws

This is a bit misleading, you should only remove the two black screws in the battery compartment. The silver ones can stay.

The two left hand screws won’t come out of mine

iFixit screwdriver bits aren't thin enough to reach the two screws on the right near the memory stick slot.

Can't edit previous comment so here's a new one:

Standard or older iFixit screwdriver bits aren't thin enough to reach the two screws on the right near the memory stick slot. You'll need precision bits that have longer tips to reach these deep screws.

Schritt 5

Remove the screw from the bottom side of the PSP. Keep it separated from the rest of the screws.
Remove screws from back righthand side within the holes.
