Trivia
Was sold as working. After purchase, the seller remembered that the volume keys were broken.
This PSP seems to be a Japan import. It came with a Japanese manual, and probably has a Japanese regional code on the UMD. It’s fine for me, as I will use the console for homebrew software only.
Restauration Works
Came with a cheap and fake “2400mAh” battery. Replaced it with a high quality replica battery.
Polished a lot of micro scratches from display. Unfortunately in vain because the original case could not be rescued.
Could not remove overturned screws, so I cut open the original case, and moved the interior to a transparent blue replica case. However, I kept the original joystick head, directional buttons, fire buttons, shoulder buttons, and memory stick cover.
Volume buttons were unresponsive, so I replaced the membrane of the control buttons.
Installed Infinity patch and LME CFW.
Applied non-glossy screen protector.
