    • 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.

    • 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.

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

    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.

    • The Button Board, at the base of the LCD Screen, is held by two clips.

    • Pry these clips over the nubs using a PSP opening tool. This will release the clips.

    • The Button Board is still attatched to the PSP by a ribbon cable!

    • The Button Board Ribbon Cable is held down with a latch. Lift the latch open, away from the ribbon cable.

    • Pull the cable away from the latch.

    • The LCD Screen is held by the LCD Frame with similar clips. Slide a thin tool between the clip and the screen and gently pry them apart while beginning to lift the screen.

    • The LCD screen is still attached with ribbon cables. Gently lift up the LCD screen so you do not break them.

    • The thin Ribbon Cable opens from the opposite side in which the Ribbon Cable enters. Open up the latch towards the Ribbon Cable. The latch will pull up and release the ribbon cable. Put your tool behind the black part, then pry up the black piece of plastic.

    • The wide Ribbon Cable opens from the same side in which the Ribbon Cable attatches, and opens away from the cable.

    • Both of these latches are the black pieces.

    • Gently pull the ribbon cables away from the latches. The LCD screen can now be removed.

    • When reassembling - be careful which way you push the latches. The small one is very easy to break.

People!! If you weren't gifted in screws and bolts, then bring your console to a repair shop. Seriously blaming this for your Dick Fingers?

It needs to be mentioned that the power switch is very fragile. When reassembling the front cover you need to first make sure that the small black switch on the circuit board sits in the yellow part of the switch, otherwise when you apply pressure to click the cover back in place the black switch will break off.

Great tutorial, thanks to this I manage to fix the R button, it turns out the ribbon cable of the right section of buttons was dirty and a little bit off of place, and taking out the screen was necessary to get to that connector.
