Trivia
Was sold in a bundle of two broken PSPs. My first intention was to keep them as spare part donors, but then I felt pity for the poor machines.
Restauration Works
Moved everything into a new, clear black replica case (which actually looks rather brownish). I reused the white direction and control keys from the case of another donor (not part of the museum).
WiFi switch was broken off, and the device was unable to read from Memory Stick. I replaced the mainboard with one from the same donor.
Display was broken, so I used the one from the other device.
Installed latest firmware, Infinity patch and LME CFW.
Applied non-glossy screen protector.
