Having trouble reading discs? This guide is for you!

Place PSP face down, so that the UMD Drive is facing upwards.
-
Locate the battery door and open.
-
Remove the battery from inside.
-
-
-
Locate the sticker in the battery compartment labeled: "En: Warranty Void if Seal Damaged."
-
Remove the sticker using the PSP Opening Tools.
-
-
-
Remove the following screws from around the bezel:
-
Two 4 mm Phillips
-
One 5 mm Phillips
Beware that some models of PSP 2000 (mine is a limited edition Crisis Core FF7 silver version, so I suppose it is related to it being a japanese PSP) have 2 minute TORX screws (T1? T2?) instead of the 2x 4mm Phillips pointed in orange around the USB port.

Remove the home bar by gently prying on the left and right sides of it with the opening tools. Lift the bar out of the device.
Theres a latch you have to pry on the other side of the console through the small hole in order to remove home menu bar
-

-
With the home bar out of the way, gently pry up the display using the opening tools.
-
Lift the black tabs of the ribbon cable connectors using a opening tool. Pull the ribbons out towards the bottom of the PSP to disconnect.
-
Gently lift out the display.
There are 2 ribbons connected to the screen. Both of them have to be disconnected in order to remove the screen.
Do not lift the black tab on the thin cable. That's attached to the logic board.

Carefully disconnect the UMD drive ribbon cable from the logic board. Use the PSP opening tools to push the black tabs on the connector horizantally to free the cable.
-
At this point it is useful to tape the loose metal parts with some masking tape so they don't fall out whilst you have the PSP the other way up.
There is a 2nd ribbon for the UMD drive that has to be disconnected sitting directly between the screen and home bar ribbons. Just lift the black tab to release it like you did for the screen and home bar ribbons.

Position the PSP so that the UMD Device is facing upwards.
-
With the UMD drive open, locate the aluminum UMD eject bracket. Pinch upper arms inwards to dislocate them from the UMD door.
-
The UMD eject bracket can now be easily pulled out.
-
Gently pry on the left side of the UMD door to remove it.
On the front, bottom right-hand side, next to where you remove the spring on the previous step, there is the hinge for the UMD door. You can use a plastic pry tool and move it to the left while pushing back to release the door without breaking off the plastic knobs.
Thank you for that information. I surely would have broken the knobs had you not pointed this out. Although, it took a fair bit more force to push the hinge over enough than I expected.
"Gently pry on the left side of the UMD door to remove it." This doesn't really help.
It doesn't describe where to pry it or what direction to pry it in. Might as well just say "just fix it," because this is a complete gamble on whether or not you break the hinge. If you already have knowledge on which direction is best to pop it out, why wouldn't you specify it?
The correct way to do this step is as follows:
With the PSP rear facing you, torque/bend the plastic frame slightly around the left hinge of the door by using your hands to bend the frame to the left of the pin slightly while pushing the door to the right. This will bend the plastic pin away from the door and let you get the door hinge off. The eject bracket is then trivial to remove.
It is NOT desirable or necessary to remove the UMD eject bracket first. That makes no sense as the UMD door is clearly designed to go on AFTER the bracket arms have been inserted into it.
Bending things almost never is "the correct way".
This YT video shows a method that works somewhat smooth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ZmOK5q...

With the UMD door off, locate and remove the four 4mm Phillips screws that hold in the UMD Drive in place.
As the comment in Step 8 says, there are TWO ribbon cables from the UMD drive to disconnect, not just one. Very important!

I've used this guide multiple times and it is simply the best out there. You should simply title it "PSP disassembly" as I have used it just to take the 2000 apart and not just replace the UMD drive.
This guide was very helpful in replacing the UND drive in my 2000. Unfortunately, it turns out that the UMD drive was not causing the issue it is having.
Lots of guessing in this guide, better not use it and look up a YT video.
will this be coming back in stock??
