    • Use a plastic opening tool around the perimeter of the back cover to loosen it on all sides.

    • Open the back cover by gently lifting the right side, and rotating it to the left side (as if you were opening a book).

    • Be careful not to rotate the back cover from the bottom, as you will break the plastic screw holes on top of the device.

    • Do not peel the sticker away from the left EMI shield. It will expose the "VOID VOID" lettering that will void your warranty!

    • Use the plastic opening tool to gently peel away at the "Warranty Void" sticker. Start on one edge, as shown, and slide the tool from side to side until the sticker is removed from just the battery.

    • Gently pull the sticker away from the battery connector, just enough so that the connector is visible.

    • Wedge a plastic opening tool in between the connector and logic board, and gently pull the connector upwards.

    • Make sure not to disconnect the white connector socket on the logic board, and just the connector itself.

    • Be very careful when disconnecting the following cables. The connectors do not have flip-up tabs; just hold each cable steady and pull it out of the connector.

    • Unplug the volume button cable using a pair of tweezers. Be careful not to damage the cable.

    • Unplug the Start/Select button cable the same way. Make sure to grasp the black plastic pull tab of the cable.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to pull out the battery's clear plastic cover.

    • Notice the little metal tab and slot (marked in red) where the clear plastic cover slides into. Make sure you slide the cover into place properly when reassembling the PSP Go.

    • The logic board is still connected to the display, so do not fully remove it from its housing!

    • Wedge a plastic opening tool in the location shown in the first picture, and slightly separate the metal frame from the plastic front panel.

    • Slide the plastic opening tool around the perimeter of the display, increasing the gap between the metal frame and the front panel.

    • The front panel should now be free from the metal frame. However, it is still connected to the frame, so don't remove it completely.

    • Be very careful when performing this procedure! If you put too much pressure on the display, you risk cracking it.

    • Wedge a plastic opening tool between the plastic front panel and display. Be very careful that you wedge it in the same location shown in the first picture.

    • Slide the plastic opening tool across the length of the display. This should loosen the glue binding the display to the plastic front panel.

    • Rotate the display 180 degrees and free the bottom side of the display in the same manner.

  21. sdoMsKmG1TnDXrek

    • Gently separate the display from the front panel.

I don’t have this device, but I’m curious if the front panel is just an border or if it is a sheet, because the later would mean you don’t have to replace the screen to get rid of scratches. I assume this is the case, but just wanted to be sure.
