Psp

[yoyoyoyoyoyoyo]

My psp has a broken joystick. I need to take it apart but the psp has 2 stuck screws on it. So now I can't even take off the back case. Does anyone have any suggestions to take out those screws?

[yoyoyoyoyoyoyo]

The screws are stripped as in they are just spinning when you turn the screw or the screw head is stripped so the screw driver cant get a grip??

if the head is stripped, just dremel the screw so a flat screw driver will work

I cant get a grip on them. What do you mean by dremel the screw? sorry not that experienced!

a "Dremmel" is a tiny circular saw, I think what he's sugesting is cutting new threads in the top of the screws so you can use a small flat bladed screwdriver to remove them.

You are aware that the joystick just pulls right off? So if you have got a replacement just pull it off and put the new one back on.

That is unless you are actually talking about the joystick mechanism, in which case, yeah, dremel it.

I am talking about the joystick mechanism.

Which screws are they?

If your out of options, there is one last thing you can try. Hold a soldering iron on the top of the screw head for a bit, and you can just pull the case apart after they heat up. Just do this little by little on each screw. This only works if you can get a soldering iron in there, and will probaly require you do use slightly bigger screws to put it back together. This is ONLY a last resort.

it is the one under the battery, top left one. And the screw on the bottom right corner with all the plastic around it. I will try to see if my iron fits in it. I think it is too big though.

man be careful, make sure u have a really small phillips head, the actual component shouldnt be to hard to replace as its only two screws,

i recently attached a faceplate to my psp and those screws are a bastard, just dont wear out the damn things.

Psps are far too easy to break IMO. I've lost my analog cap and scratched the screen to hell. Where can I buy a new analog cap anyways?

GP2X = no moving parts at all

I stole the cap on the demo psp in the store. They pop right off

It pops off like the GP2X cap.. just pull and it comes right out.
