Since I have introduced the way of removing the LCD screen in previous article, now, I’d like to talk about how to remove the mother board, the memory stick and other parts of PSP.

First you have to remove the PSP LCD screen. Related article, please read Replace PSP slim LCD screen. 

Now, let’s begin our task. Remove the screws in this picture. The red triangles are behind the battery. Put all the screws in the plate to prevent them from loss.

Pry the LCD housing out of the PSP with a flat head screwdriver. When the tabs are out, open the UMD door. 

If you want to remove the motherboard, use your pliers to remove the cable circled in red. If not, leave it alone for now. Disconnect all the other cables circled in the picture and remove the screws.

Lift the clasp holding the cable for the d-pad and remove it.

 Remove the green circuit board .If you’re not replacing the motherboard, remove the screw circled in green and remove the yellow power socket. Leave it attached to the motherboard.
