How to Make a PSP a Touch Screen

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a portable video game device that was not meant to have a touch screen. However, since its release a few different companies have released a type of touch screen that will turn your PSP into something similar to the Apple iPod Touch. The new touch screen type also has a higher pixel density.

  Insert your small screwdriver in between the screen housing and the screen bracket. Slowly twist the bracket away from the housing and the mounting tabs will pop out. Gently release the opposite side of the screen and fold it down 90 degrees. This will reveal the screen connector cables. Unhook the two cables and remove the screen from the PSP.

  Insert the new touchscreen into the PSP in the same 90-degree position, folded out of the PSP screen bracket. Reconnect the cables and place the screen into the PSP. Reconnect the button bar and snap it into place. Place the PSP faceplate back onto the PSP and tighten the screws. Turn the PSP back on and you can begin to use the touch screen.
