Deal4GO 4.3-inch IPS LCD Screen Mod kit Backlight with Cable Display Lenses Bubble Wrap replacement for PSP 1000 1001 (Upgraded Version)

In no way am I good at soldering, nor have i done much soldering in general, but, after watching a couple videos of the installation for this screen, I was pretty confident in myself to be able to pull it off, and I did. If you're like me and haven't done a whole lot of soldering, or maybe you've never soldered something before, I would HIGHLY suggest that you take the time to do some research. I only say that because there are a lot of small parts and points of contact where you'll be doing the soldering to install this screen.But, with some determination and some confidence built up, I think you can be successful and pull it off. In my opinion and experience, doing the reshell process was more difficult than this installation was.

It shipped without conductive paste and now I cannot even connect this to my PSP 1000

Never mind the fact that I put them both on a tortilla package. But the one with the new screen installed is on the bottom and both are at full brightness. The top one has maybe a few hours of play time since it’s release date in the early 2000’s and the bottom one has been around the block a couple of times. It really brings the life back into the PSP 1000.

CAUTION!!! NO CONDUCTIVE PAINT! If you lack the skill to solder tiny parts... avoid this kit altogether... this kit DOES NOT come with the syringe full of conductive paint. The ONLY reason I gave this kit higher than a 1 is due to the fact the screen is good.

I brought my old PSP out of storage recently and the screen was so dim compared to modern screens that I didn't even want to mess with it. Nothing wrong with it, it's just how it is. I happened to see a youtube video of this IPS screen. I searched and found it and saw that it wasn't much more expensive than the OEM type screen so I took a chance and ordered it. Honestly, it has breathed new life into my PSP. It looks amazing. No dead pixels, no ghosting or screen tearing anymore and best of all very bright and crisp! It looks modern now and I have been playing my old games like they are new. Best purchase in a long time! However, if you can't solder or don't know anyone that can, do NOT buy this. You only have to bridge one connection but it is tiny. I used my digital microscope to do the job but amateurs will find it a challenge if not impossible. You will destroy it if you don't know what you are doing.

Nice screen. Product did not come with conductive paint as advertised though. Very difficult solder short for me to create with my shakey hands. All good otherwise.

First of all the screen looks like it was handled poorly and has a deep scratch in it as well as other scratches all over it, and secondly when trying to connect the psp1000 ips connector to the screen cable it wouldn’t go in easily so under further inspection I noticed one of the connections is messed up preventing the cable to go in properly. At this point I immediately stopped installation. Absolutely horrible QC by the company and it seems like this was a used product that someone miss handled and returned now I got to waste my time and money thanks a lot will be returning this immediately.

This screen is definitely an improvement over the original. Less ghosting and brighter. Soldering is challenging depending on what board revision it is. Some revisions can just use a solder bridge and others require a short wire for the bridge. It’s challenging because of how small the solder spot is to not have the wire roll off or get pulled up with the solder tip. I’m very happy with this :)
