    Extra Notes:
    - Corners have a tendency to crack, usually is fine, make sure the corners are perfectly flat, and dont press hard into them when fitting before glue.
    - A sharp box cutter would come in handy to cleanup/trim the corners if the screen isnt fitting
    - Using heat is useless, the plastics are melted together using a bonding agent (they dont use glue)
    - Excess heat could warp the faceplate we dont want that.
    - I found another 1000 Clear faceplate laying around and that one happened to crack open cleanly
    - Yes thats Minecraft glass in the thumbnail

      I managed to separate the plastic original screen from an aftermarket clear faceplate with relative ease by submerging it all in hot water (not boiling just hot enough you can put your hands in it) this made all the plastics just bendy enough they didn't crack and break but without warping them and enabled me to twist until a corner popped up from where I used a soft guitar pick to gently push under the glue. Works a charm!

      Keep in mind that he was bashing it while the front shell was free to flex and absorb the shock
      The moment he flipped it and the glass was making contact with a hard surface, it broke at the first hit
      I think you should expect it to behave similarly to that second example while mounted on a psp that's properly closed up

    2:45 If you ever split those buttons apart, you can place those buttons into the faceplate, then you can tape them from the front. This will be much easier when reinstalling the faceplate.

      Da pra fazer, mas não na carcaça original, se for uma carcaça comprada no Aliexpress por exemplo, a lente é uma peça separada da carcaça , ai da para remover e colocar essa de vidro, mas a original não da, porque é uma peça unica com a carcaça.

    I think I'll end up doing the project smokey faceplate (if I can find it), glass lens upgrade, IPS screen and PSVita joystick. Maybe even throw in a new battery. I was gonna repaint the grey frame and triggers but seems like too much work to disassemble the PSP for just an aesthetic upgrade, maybe I'll leave that for the future. Thanks again for this video series!
    BTW I swear to god I had a dream last night where I was given a PSVita but it looked like a fischer price toy, had a flip out screen and was big and bulky painted red and yellow. I remember thinking in my dream "wow my PSP 1000 is so much nicer than this" LOL

    I'm sure if you were careful, the home row buttons could be left in the original 2k/3k faceplate. Also, I would recommend applying the glue as you did, near the edges, but with a fine tip syringe or using something to paint it on thin. Squeezing direct from the tube can get pretty messy on detail areas.

      There are no IPS screens for 2000 only original and fragile aftermarket parts that break easily and colors are washed out.
      At the moment there is no saturation plugins, vita has such features but only because sony natively has implemented it in code.
      If you bought a new screen online for the 2000, its most likely super washed out, if that is the case, I recommend you get an original display from a doner broken psp

    Going to add that these are just glass. there is no oliophobic coating, there is no tempering.
    Really compared to the plastic lens for me its a side-grade.
    With the plastic one it likes to scratch, with the glass one it likes to shatter. I had 2 of these lenses crack on my in the corners, having no idea how it happened.

      As far as what I know, they are all mostly the same, as in coming from the same aftermarket factory, so whichever one you find is your best option whether it fits the color exactly or not, even if it doesn't it will be alright as it will give a 2 tone look of some sort, and of course quality will be low, and if you have original buttons it would be best to use as always.

      They didnt use glue, instead some type of bonding agent that melts the plastics together forming a solid bond. I tried hot hair dryer heat and it did not budge with some of the clear shells. If I were to use a heatgun it would eventually warp the faceplate so that wasnt an option.
      It may help slightly with some of the other easier ones thats for sure.
