This is the front and back of the PSP E1000

We are going to start by removing the back panel.

To do this open the panel and gently squeeze in the UMD tray until it pops up.

It should lay flat against the back panel while open if done correctly

Gently bend the back panel to free the hinge on the left.

Once it is popped out it should look like the second photo

The back panel can then be slid off

Remove the screw with a #00 Philips and slide up the battery cover.

The battery can now be removed by pulling it out.

When reinstalling it is useful to use a spudger to push the cable back in.

Remove all four screws on the back using the same bit as before.

Then remove the two top screws.

Then, insert a spudger between the L button and the face plate and separate them. Then, do the same on the right.

Then slide the face plate down towards the bottom of the screen to release the bottom clips.

Ensure you support the face plate as the front buttons are still connected with a fragile ribbon cable.

Slide a spudger under both of these clips to release the display

Then gently rotate the display to the left side of the device so you can see the mainboard.

Gently unclip the display ribbon cable and remove it

Then set the display to the side

Untape the front panel ribbon cable, unclip it, then remove it.

Remove the ribbon cable and power cable

Gently lift the button assembly and charge port

The shoulder button is taped down so slide a spudger under the button and gently peel it off

Unclip and remove the two marked ribbon cables

Remove the marked screw and lift the analog stick out

Lift the button pad carefully and peel off the shoulder button

When reassembling install the joystick before the buttons.

Unclip both ribbon cables and remove them

Remove the marked screw on the mainboard

Lift the bottom of the mainboard up and slide it out

For reinstallation make sure that the power switch cover is installed before it is screwed in. It has to be unscrewed to do the installation

Flip the device and remove the marked screws

Without touching the lens lift the UMD reader from the device

Congratulations you have disassembled your PSP E1000. Have fun with the reassembly!
