Go to llama.com - lots of replacement parts along with instructions. I repaired my son's PSP - replaced screen - and it was fairly easy.

You can open the PSP and just lift the LCD Screen
up be sure before lifting LCD Screen one thin Switch panel of micro buttons Home,VOL,select etc,
you have to remove this first then only it is possible to lift the LCD Screen and after that you check that broad connection strip which is fixed with the motherboard socket you remove it this strip and refixed it again,your problem should get solved if suppose your LCD Screen is not broken.

if the psp screen is anything like a laptop it will have a backlight that lights up the screen what can happen is you can break the light and while you will still see things on the screen when you look closely but it wont be illuminated. i had a friend that dropped his laptop and smashed the backlight he sent it away and got it fixed

i suggest you send it to sony to get it fixed

A game was getting on my nerves an t hit the screen, now only half of my screen shows up.

Comment by roller554, posted on Nov 06, 2007

I can play a game on my psp but can only see half of the screen after I dropped it. It looks like the screen is cracked but I cannot feel it externally. Would getting a new lcd fix the problem?
