My PSP is broken - Blu-ray Forum

Tonight my PSP broke

I do not know what happened, but when I turn it on the screen looks shattered. It appears to be behind the display as the exterior of the display is fine, so there must be another screen inside and that shows cracks all over the place.. Looks like it maybe fell? Or was even sat on?! I am so annoyed, cant believe it.. Cannot see anything, totally ruined.

Worth getting fixed considering the PSPGo is on the way?

yup, either sat on or dropped. happened to one of my 1k's. replaced the screen myself. its not that hard really..tho i didn't really put it back together properly

but whatever

I also broke my original PSP® last year when I dropped it. The same thing happened, actually; half of the "inner screen" stopped functioning. I ended up just buying a 2000 series, and it's much lighter and slimmer, and I like that a lot. I might even get a PSP®go now, just because of that.

so there is a fix? was it hard to replace? so pissed off.. €250 for a PSPGo.. the PS3 Slim is €299!!!! I cant justify spending that on the Go...

yup..buy a replacement screen off ebay. i think i paid like 60 bucks back then. unscrew a few things and unhook here and there and take the old screen out and put the new one.

it wasn't hard for me. but taking stuff apart and putting it back together is just one of those things i'm good at/don't mind doing

thanks xtop, sounds the cheaper option. Wow, ebay really has everything!

Whats killing me is I dont know what happened!! If I knew I dropped it or sat on it then fair enough, but just turned it on and was like WTF!!!

I'd get myself a PSP Go if I were you. Worth the upgrade, despite the hefty Wii-ish price tag.

I'm trying to make it happen. Except in Russia, cause then I'd have to say PSP™ instead.

Did it look like this?

Thats my launch psp but I fixed the screen myself, you can find directions online. Got a screen on ebay fairly priced.

JonD7 · 09-12-2009, 08:25 AM

My sister sat on mine but only thing that broke was the analog stick

I'm still trying to decide what I want more... Go or 3000, haha

MOONPHASE · 09-12-2009, 10:50 AM

I fell asleep on my psp and even dropped it on the tile by accident a few times and it only just has light scracthes, no cracks.

garlad · 09-23-2009, 12:56 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys, sorry for not getting back. I took a photo but to be honest it is just like what was posted above by Bizdady.

I have decided to try and fix it myself! Go me! Anyone recommend a site that I could get the screen I am looking for? Again, it is the inner screen that seems to be cracked.. Link?

Cheers for the tip. I meant to post here actually though as I found a repair shop that are doing it for €55

They said it will be ready in approx 10 days
