      I got in the lucky window where you updated this on the day I checked it out. Nice website, I am sure I will be in contact at some point.

    Hey, a question, do the replacement plastic panes look like the original? or are they of poor quality
    Thank you

      The replacement lens doesn’t sit as flush at the top edge, but otherwise they look good. Sometimes there will be some spots after removing the film, but those will rub off easily with a micro fiber (or something similar). There’s glass lenses too, but you have to make sure to not apply much pressure for those. Apply glue to the inner top edge to help reinforce it

    i wanna do this on a psp e1000 street. but cant seem to find the info of wich lens i need to buy. i know 3000 series buttons fit. any ideas ?

      Yeah these lenses will also fit a street model. I’ve don’t a few and it’s basically the same procedure except you don’t need to shave off any of the plastic faceplate frame. You’ll have a little gap in some spots due the the street having a slightly bigger lens opening, but it’s not bad at all. I’d also recommend buying a glass lens instead, since they are much higher quality than the plastic ones on the market

    Can i ask something? I have a PSP 1000 faceplate with the clear lens. And i want to swap my PSP 1000 lens to my new PSP 3000, is it possible if i just pop the lens of the 1000 and glued it again to my 3000?? Thank You So Muchh

      @blakeblundell9001  3 місяці тому

      You’d only be able to do that if your 1000 is silver/gold/camo/blue, since the other OEM colors don’t have a removable lens.

      For 1000s, only certain colors have a removable lens. Those are: blue, silver, gold, and camo.

    hi,....do you know by chance if this is working for the psp 1000 (fat) as well?
    heard they are together one piece with the front plate.

    • @blakeblundell9001
      @blakeblundell9001  2 роки тому +1

      The 1000 colors that don’t have a detachable lens are: black, white, and pink. So for those colors you’d just have to buy a whole faceplate.

    • @blakeblundell9001
      @blakeblundell9001  2 роки тому +3

      Yeah it would work. I’ve used it on around 5 glass lenses so far, and it holds well. Apply the glue directly to the faceplate frame and then set the lens in

      @blakeblundell9001  2 роки тому

      It could work fine, but I’ve never used it on these. I’ve used standard super glue many years ago and the fumes ended up making a lot of marks on the lens that wouldn’t come off

    Is it possible to dismantle it again after using the b-7000 glue? Is it maybe a better option to use double sided tape?

    • @blakeblundell9001
      @blakeblundell9001  2 роки тому

      You can still remove the lens again if you warm up the faceplate. A hair dryer or hot air machine would work best, but leaving it out in the sun could also probably do the trick. Double sided tape doesn’t hold well, unless you get some of the higher end stuff

      @@blakeblundell9001 Do you perhaps know what was the original method Sony used to get them on? Maybe a specific glue? I am worried about bending the shell when heating it up so I am trying to find another way that works.

    • @blakeblundell9001
      @blakeblundell9001  2 роки тому

      You’d only need to heat it up if you’re trying to remove the new lens. The original lens will come off easy with no heat and just a flat head to pop it off.

      You let it sit for a few hours for the glue to harden, and then you install the faceplate onto your PSP. Then make sure to remove the protective films off the new lens before you set it down and screw it in

    What about using super glue?

    • @blakeblundell9001
      @blakeblundell9001  Рік тому

      Super glue typically has more fumes that will make marks on the lens that cannot be wiped off easily
