How Do You Fix the Bottom Buttons on a PSP?

The Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) has a set of buttons on the bottom edge of the front of the handheld. Sometimes these buttons can become stuck. This means you cannot press them and they are unusable. This is a simple fix: All you need to do is remove the PSP faceplate and stick on another set of buttons.

Things You'll Need

Replacement button bar
Phillips head screwdriver

  Turn the PSP off and remove the battery from the rear of the device. Remove the four screws behind the PSP battery with the Phillips head screwdriver. Remove the two screws on the opposite end of the PSP. Remove the last screw on the bottom edge of the PSP.
