Repairing PSP LCD screen

    Hiya all, I cracked the LCD in my PSP and ordered a replacement screen for it.
    The problem I'm having is getting a screw driver to remove the screws which are in the back of the PSP. I need a thin phillips for this.
    I had some of those cheap screw driver sets but the phillips head in that appears too big.
    Would Maplin/Peats sell small headed philips screwdrivers?
    Cheers
    JC

    You are looking for a set of jewellers screwdrivers to disassemble the PSP.
    And for the love of God, don't overtighten the screws when putting it back together.

    Here is a youtube video showing how to disassemble the psp.
    The only problem is that it is in spanish

    Any decent hardware should have them. Ask for a Precision screwdriver set. They're a set of 6 small black ones (3philips/3flat) Picked mine up less than a fiver:)

    Heres a tutorial for ya http://www.consolezombie.com/PSP/PSP_Screen_Installation.html

    SouthofDub, thanks for the link. I have an excellent one bookmarked which I'm going to use.
    CJ, I popped in to Maplins at lunch time and got a 15 piece precison set(1/2 price) for 8 euro odd. I'm not sure when I'd be using the 7 star bit but you never know!!

    I think the problem I made was to buy one of those cheap precision sets in the 2 euro shop as I didn't think the screws in the back would be as tight.
    I'm sure with the better made screw driver and the ability to generate some torque with the grip they should come out okay.
