PSP 2K Disassembly Guide
This page will walk you through all you need to know on how to disassemble your PSP 2000 so it is ready for the PS Placeable build. There is a chance the inside of your PSP will be slightly different. Most 2000 models looks the same and all have the same screw placements.
​
PLEASE IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FIRMWARE ON YOUR PSP INSTALL THAT BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE.
Back external screws
There are 4 external screws on the back side of the PSP. There are two exposed and the other two are under the battery cover. One is hidden under the warranty sticker in the battery compartment. (Keep all your screws we will be reusing them.)

Unhook small clasp
There is a small tab to pry up on the left side of the select/start strip at the bottom of the screen. Then there are three small metal pins keeping the screen in place. Make sure your menu bar looks like the picture in the next step before lifting the screen from these three pins.
Remove left and right pads
-
Make sure you pull out the SD card if inserted and the cover should be in the pulled out position to remove the left plastic piece. (This PSP's cover broke so I do not have that part to pull into the out position. )
-
The right button pad can be pulled up; it is taped to the board so use a bit of force to pull up on it.
