How to Open a 2000 PSP
The Sony PlayStation Portable 2000, also called the PSP Slim because it's slightly thinner than the original PSP, is easy to open if you're trying to repair any of the internal components. The process involves removing some screws and just taking the cover off. Be warned, though, that since Sony wants you to pay them to fix your PSP, you'll more than likely void your warranty if you go through with this procedure. If you don't care about the warranty and don't expect that your PSP will go down in flames while you're opening it, then let's get to it!
