Installing PSP Backcase

Does anyone know and or have a tutorial/video on how to install a psp backcase.



It seems really complicated but I dont mind. I can easily install a facelplate and I have all the tools to disassable a PSP. I really want this backcase because my psp looks like crap with just the faceplate. After I manage to get this installed I will add some led lights to my PSP then it will be completely tricked out.

that is a good question,
i am of no help, but is that the case u got, becuase that'd look really cool with blue LED lights

Thats the case im going to buy. In the image it is shown equipped with umd door and battery cover. Here is a better example of what it should look like.



Also the led lights are going to be my next task after I get a full clear psp.

I was gonna attempt to do this for a pal. But after opening it and seeing how many items I must disconnect and remove.. I bailed on him. I didn't want his dad trying to sue my dad... know what I mean?

The psp should not be a problem. My friend is going to let me use one of his spare psp. If it is a success he keeps it, if I fail he wont care.

Well after a long day of messing with the psp this is how far I got.

Removed faceplate and LCD


Removed LCD support


A better look


Removed buttons, motherboard, and other garbage


Removed UMD reader


All of the stuff nicely packaged, and my other psp's


So much work... I dont think I made any mistakes either. Ill see when I put it back together, thats if I can =/

Anyways here I what I am aiming for with my psp.

The case I bought


The back


The front


Wish me luck.

Good luck
Let me know how it goes (difficulty wise), i might buy another psp and do that with mine.

that looks tight

that looks tight

Once I get my face/back plate in the mail and put it together im doing a lot more, leds and custom battery mod. You will see final product

Which portions are you going to light up? I'm skeptical about adding led's to the buttons cause i would think that it might be a little distracting/bright while trying to watch a movie.

i wouldnt worry about front plate
i changed mine numerous times and its pretty simple
but the back i know is hard
you have to do alottt of crap
good luck with it

let me know how that turns out and ill do it to mine
