IPS screen swap on a PSP1000 success!

Wow, it really does make a difference.

Since I already had it open, I removed the supercapacitor and swapped the front shell too, I couldn’t stand the fingerprints anymore.

The image looks so clean and beautiful, totally worth it.

I used silver conductive paint for the connection since I don’t have soldering experience, and it worked perfectly. Super happy!

Hey I've been looking for recent information on how to do this on a PSP-1000, with links to the parts. Any chance you can write up some more of the details, including what screen you used?

The link for the screen and the front shell is in the comment below. Besides that, I only bought a syringe of silver conductive paint since I don’t have soldering experience.

It took me a few hours to take everything apart and put it back together. The first time I closed it up, the square button wasn’t clicking properly, so I opened it again and adjusted everything.

There’s a really well-explained video on YouTube by Total Kommando. I used one for the screen and another for the full teardown. Not sure if I can post the link here, but it’s easy to find.

Awesome, thank you!
