My friend Dan had a Psp that he got for his birthday, and was going to throw it away because he broke the screen from carrying it in his back pack and throwing it around too much, so i said "Hey Dan, can I have it?" he goes "Sure, I hope you know it's broken" I replied with "I know, but I still want it!" He said "Ok, whatever." And he gives it to me and as soon as i get home I browse the internet for a new screen, and there it is, A Psp screen, 49.99, I only had 20$ so i mowed some lawns, and saved up till I had exactly 50$ so i told my mom, she agreed to buy it for me and I would give her the money, so she bought it and a month later it showed up just now! and I just finished taking the new screen out and putting a new screen In. I made a documentary of my process. Before: [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/f69e00pspnotfixed.png[/img] I took out the battery and unscrewed the screws and took off the faceplate. [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/263600nofaceplate.png[/img] Took the screen out, it was relatively easy, just taking out three ribbon cables and done. [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/7f5e00screenoff.png[/img] Put the new screen in, doing the last step in reverse. [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/913600newscreenin.png[/img] Put everything back on and done! [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/5faa00goodasnew.png[/img] Ain't she a beaut'!
Pretty cool. I got a free psp and some games for trading my runescape account.
Brilliant! These things are so easy changeable. Deal-extreme have different colour shells etc. Have you put custom firmware on this?
Fuck your PSP where's Pablo
I got a broken psp on ebay. The dumbshit seller had a hair stuck somewhere on the lazer reader. I got a new psp for £30 along with games and shit :v:
I won one for free in a pepsi contest.
Unfortunately, I never put mine back together
People can be fucking stupid. I bought a "broken" Zune at a flea market when they first came out for $15. The owner said it wouldn't turn on. I went a few tables over and bought a new battery for $5. Worked just fine.
Pretty nice, i did the same with a RROD'd Xbox360 then i got the xclamp kit and now it works like a charm.
[QUOTE=Craptasket;22493963]Unfortunately, I never put mine back together[/QUOTE] I feel bad.
I got a working PSP, games, and accessories for £5. The umd drive tray is slightly bent, but that's an easy fix. I only wanted it for home brewing/emulating, and it does a fine job of that!
what the hell does 'la hora' mean
I would consider doing this with a older PSP just for custom firmware, I say older because I always manage to cock the batteries up when modding them.
I only used mine for movies so I just sold it once I got my 360. Had more fun with my iPod touch honestly.
Oh, if any of you are looking for pandora's battery, but always cock it up, [url=http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12710]deal-extreme sells them.[/url]
"Hora" means "whore" in Swedish :buddy:
You could just have bought a screen from Dealextreme for 1/100 the price.
He mowed some lawns guys, this guy has accomplished what no other facepuncher who has begged for games has done before.
Lol!
Your friend Dan? Was he boobies?
Why does it look like you have a paper bag on your head in the first photo? [editline]10:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Jaffar;22495210]Your friend Dan? Was he boobies?[/QUOTE] Old.
I usually do stuff like this all the time. Go to a yard sell and see a broken item like a PSP and ask what is wrong with it. Then buy it for next to nothing or get it for free then fix it. Sell it and make a good profit.
[QUOTE=BrQ;22494372]what the hell does 'la hora' mean[/QUOTE] I set it back to factory settings and it was in Spanish v:v:v
[QUOTE=BrQ;22494372]what the hell does 'la hora' mean[/QUOTE] "La Hora" means "the time" in spanish.

Well done man
I feel so accomplished :3: thanks.
[QUOTE=BrQ;22494372]what the hell does 'la hora' mean[/QUOTE] "Clock" in spanish But "Hora" is whore in Swedish :haw: [editline]01:16AM[/editline] Rate me late :saddowns:
