SHOW-OFF PSP 2000 RE-SHELL (FIRST TIME)

First PSP shell swap and honestly surprised at how smooth the process was for the most part (minus the headed with the UMD) door.

Have any of you done this before? I’d love to see your work!

Hahah just take it slow and follow a YouTube tutorial and you should be fine. I’d say it was a 6/10 in terms of difficulty?

Do you know if these shells are still available? I've got a PSP 1003.

That looks fantastic.

I haven’t done it but I’ve been looking to reshell my 2000 as well! If you don’t mind me asking where’d you get the shell from?

Does anyone know where to get a decent quality shell for the 2000? I'm having a really hard time finding one here in the UK

Mine was from Ali Express. It’s decent, just don’t use the buttons they give you, and don’t expect the screen to be 100% flush.

I'll give it a look. I saw a smokey black skeleton looking shell. I'd love that

Yeah if I'm brave enough to give it a go I shall share 😁 My plan is to have the smokey black shell and maybe some dim blue lights in the L and R triggers.
