    Amazing 2 videos helped a lot on which tools to use and what parts to cut with the flush cutter I was mainly stuck on how to put the yellow power switch 8:15 your the only video that shows it 👍
    If anyone gonna do a shell swap make sure to take pictures every time u take a part off or a screw so u can remember how to put it back

    Its such a shame the third party shells are made with such poor tolerances since a lot of second hand psp are "well loved" so to speak. Tried cleaning up my 1000 and 2000 with new shells and failed on both of them. Gamgear shells are much better made

      Out of the 3 models I found at least for now and at this time, 3000 shells have the best chance of a good result.
      They seem to come and go and which manufacturer build is sent is usually a coin toss.

      It sucks even more when many other handheld consoles have many good or even great options for shell replacements. And with the good ones, the quality is even close to on par with oem.
      3rd party PSP shell manufacturers need to step up their game cause right now it's just better to buy the psp in the color you want, and avoid the ones physically damaged. There's a whole market literally waiting for better shells to come out

    WARNING! PIN THIS, IMMEDIATELY!
    I have a very crucial warning I must address while servicing a PSP analog stick, since I serviced countless PSPs since 2012 (excluding the Go, and the E1000/Street models, as I am not familiar with the internal structures). If your PSP, specifically the 100x, and 200x, models, that utilizes the conductive rubber membrane, if your analog stick, still makes random ghosting/drifting movements, and you figured out the analog stick, is in great condition, or you just bought a new one but still the system, registers studder movements (most likely will happen in the internet browser's pointer). Then the problem, is not the analog stick, even the rubber membrane, is most likely the copper plates that are located on the front of the motherboard if you have a 100x model, while the analog copper plates are located on the rear side if you have a 200x model. This fix is not difficult, but requires not so commonly found tools from hardware stores. You need a heat gun, but I recommend a hot airwork station the best, next is some solder flux, some kapton tape, and isopropyl alcohol. Place some kapton tape around the areas where the analog copper plates are located, just to make sure, the hot air gun, won't heat undesired areas, other than just the copper plates, use some sploosh of solder flux on top of the copper plates, and adjust the desired temperature of you hot air (something like °360'C) and begin by heating the plates. Let it cool off completely, and wipe off all excess flux, with isopropyl alcohol, and is DONE! reassemble the console, and watch your analog stick no longer making sudden movements!

      Add tape to the bottom of the plastic buttons, till things feel right, sometimes the silicon is worn and needs to be replaced if you had this problem before the swap

    • @TotalKommando
      @TotalKommando  8 місяців тому

      A small piece of tape to each of the sides, just big enough to not interfere with anything surrounding it, sometimes you have to add more than 1 layer, sometimes its becomes the opposite.
      You could also try adding a later of something thin like a piece of paper to push up the side you need to function better. Works for the DPAD but not so as east for the face buttons

      I got you, so I just tried swapping my transparent glossy 1000 shell with the 2 part power switch to an OG Shell, everything fits alright, not perfect but it works, the top piece was the worse
      Swapping the otherway around, depending on what third party shell you got, you may need to trim the bottom lip on the OG power switch side, since there is no cut out on it, at least on my glossy transparent 1000 shell
      Just be ready to do tiny slot expansion/trims on the shell if you want it to drop in without too much stress on the plastics

      ​@@trashcanpatrol The fact you found a purple transparent 1000 shell is a miracle, those have been sold out for years so its practically rare lol
      Once you get it, you will figure out what to do, but if you wanna be on the safe side, you could order a spare trim outline from aliexpress or ebay just in case. Worse Best Case is you paint the trim black, throw on original black buttons and you got a sick unique psp 1000.

    • @TotalKommando
      @TotalKommando  5 місяців тому

      Sometimes I would do an install and it would work fine, then I open it again and drifting starts to happen, I think its the analog jell bridge might be flipped in a different way that it was before or the subframe isnt sitting correctly, I have not tested this but one possible fix is to add a thin layer of paper around the analog stick area to push up the motherboard so it can make better contact on the analog.

    Is there a matt, black, psp 1000, front plate? Does not seem so, it would be so nice to have a fully opaque enclosure, do you have any contacts with companies that produce such, do you think you can make this happen? The PSP also needs a Reflective LCD screen, many people did ask on forums for blue light filters for the PSP, yet a RLCD would be a better alternative, lcd could be modded to be a reflective one, can this interest you? Thank you. Currently i have a stock 1000 which i run trough the barrel power cable with a 10000mah power bank, is honestly better than a umd battery mod or a expanded battery, in fact im not using any battery at all now, just the power bank and it gives days of continuous play, since i tested the port with a usb multimeter and the condole itself draw around 100mA and can be placed on a backpack or something while being out, very comfortable.

      Hey no worries I get you,
      This video was mesnt as a guide, showcasing the most common challenges that you could face with an aftermarket shell swap and how to get around them, not as a reassembly guide. And I believe I mention in the video.
      It was originally going to be 3 videos,
      - Disassembly
      - Reassembly
      - Shell swap guide
      The Reassembly video I will definitely be revisiting as I can't leave it like this.
      If you check out my latest video, you will notice I got a disassembly / reassembly in one video. Then shell swao guide in another like this one.
      This is the originally disassembly video if you want to know where each screw goes and what it looks like. Gotta watch it in reverse yes but thats all I got atm till I make my reassembly video.

      @MrAnthony992 7 днів тому

      @TotalKommando What do you mean by "1 or 2 pieces"? The aftermarket power switch slider is completely different from the OEM. So, I had to change the whole silver side containing the power slider. Otherwise, the circuit board with the switch wouldn't fit. I ended up removing some material from the shell frame. The attachment I have on my Dremel is the flex shaft, and on it, I have a spiral router bit as thin as the lead from a mechanical pencil. I keep the speed low for better control. Makes it easier and faster to remove unwanted material. I still do use a mini file and sand paper for better finish, though.
