Can you get me in pdf

Aayush -

Does a PSP have any bearings inside of it?

Brooke Payne -

No ball bearings. Thumbsticks are probably just Lubed plastics rubbing against eachother

mahonen -

Thank you very much for the guide.

C. JONES -

This has inspired me to build my own PSP. I had one as a child, and want one now for the nostalgia. Thanks!

Sheenyl Hassan -

I was putting a new screen on a psp3001

and the ribbon flex connector broke and now there’s nothing to hold the small ribbon in place

how do I fix this

JOSHUA -

Trying to figure out the size screw to fit the holes on either side of the USB port. Anyone know? I believe the tv tuner addon used it to mount to the psp, but I plan to use it to mount something externally for a battery mod.
