Ahh the PSP gives me so much nostalgia. When I was 12, I asked my dad to buy me one but he said I would have to save for one. So I did chores and saved pocket money till I had 50 UK pounds. My dad was proud of me and bought me one and let me keep my 50 for games. I played games non stop on it and to this day I have mines it's a bit beat up. But when I look at it it reminds me of my dad as he is no longer with us.

Seeing a PSP always makes me think of my little sister. She was a kid when the PSP came out, and I used to get after her because she'd play it until the battery completely died, then she'd charge it for five minutes, and then play for two until it died again. I repeatedly told her to stop it before she ruined the battery but she never listened.

Screen replacement has to be one of the easiest things to do on any psp model and for a repair shop to mess it up that bad shouldn’t be open

What a beautiful device. My parents could never afford a PSP when I was younger, despite how much I wanted one. Never had one, probably never will, but I still wish I had one. Minidisc and UMD fascinate me.

Recently, I had to replace the supercapacitor in my PSP 3000. Unfortunately, I also broke the laser track motor ribbon clamp. I didn’t have another PCB to replace the connector, so I came up with the idea of placing a piece of antistatic foam right underneath the LCD screen. Fortunately, when I reassembled the screen in its original position, the pressure caused the motor to work again. My PSP is now working just fine!

For removing that fuse next to the port, you should get the Metcal Talon, it's basically a dual tip soldering iron that can open and close like tweezers and allows you to just grab and desolder a part all in one step.

I am terrible at replacing those ribbon cable connectors...I have tried at least 10 times and I always end up melting part of it...I have gotten several to work, but they were ugly when I was done! lol...Great video as always!
