If your PSP has a cracked LCD screen, and you need to remove it, below you will find the steps needed to do it. To do it, you will need the new LCD screen, a small screwdriver with a flat head and a screwdriver with a Phillips head.
First step
Use the screwdriver with a Phillips head to get the five screw out of the PSP抯 back, so you can take off the faceplate. While doing this, try not to lose any of the five screws.
Second step
Next, take out the strip that contains the control button, which is placed under the LCD. To remove it, you need to use a screwdriver with a flat head, so you can pry the buttons from the LCD casing, which is made out of metal. Use the sides to pry them open. Once the buttons are out, you need to remove the cable, which connects the strip of buttons to the Sony Playstation Portable. The next step is to take out the brown latch, by pulling it towards the power connector.
Third step
Now, remove the metal case, which holds the LCD. Use a screwdriver with a flat head, and slide it on the sides of the case. Once the case is open, put it with the face down, since it still has connections to the PSP. Remove the cables, by pulling up the latches.
Fourth step
Get the metal case out, from around the LCD and the back light. Prying it will take it out, so use a screwdriver for this purpose. When the LCD is stuck because of adhesive, pull gently until it抯 completely separated.
Fifth step
Separate the back light and the LCD, by using a screwdriver with a flat head to pry it. Do it slowly, since they抮e usually stuck together.
Sixth step
Finally, do everything I just mentioned in reverse, to put the new LCD on your PSP. Make sure you take out the protective plastic first though.
All you have to do now is put the back light and the LCD in its metal case, put back the cables where they belong and insure that the latches click back into place. Next, you need to put the metal case back inside the Sony Playstation Portable.
In the end, put back the strip with the control buttons and make sure the brown latch clicks into place. The strip with the buttons should click into place, at the bottom of the case of the LCD. Finally, put all the screws back.
