PSP GO battery replace-able - Blu-ray Forum

Hi,

I heard the PSP Go had a non user replace-able battery due to piracy concerns. That had me wondering if eventually it would make more sense to chuck the hardware vs paying to have it's battery replaced.

Not to worry though... The battery can be replaced and it doesn't look hard and it doesn't require soldering either.

Here's more info....

I don't recommend anyone taking apart their shiny new PSPGO but the page on the tear down can be interesting anyway. What I take from it is I may be able to change the battery someday and I'm very happy about that.
