PSP Faceplate Replacement : Would you risk the warranty ?

[limtk55]

Third party companies are soon going to jump on the bandwagon of making PSP faceplates for customers. The question is, are consumers willing to trade their warranties for the cool factor, by disassembling their PSP?

The method of removing the faceplates is so simple, even a newbie can attempt it without much thinking. As long as you know how to use a screwdriver, and can follow instructions, the probability of success is 100% everytime, all the time. No electronics involved. NO soldering. Just a simple replacement.

And with such a simple but obvious mod made to the exterior outlook of the PSP, one's gaming persona and even color preferences are now satisfied.

I would definitly replace my faceplate cause its getting kinda scratched and stuff, i dont care about the warrenty, i think mines expired by now anyway. :lol:

well, what you do, to avoid the warrenty, is if somthing happens to it, keep the originals and put them on before you goto exchange it

There are tamper-proof stickers that cover the screws you need to remove to change the faceplate, thus voiding the warranty.

I'll do it once my warranty expires.

oh, are they on the inside, cuz i dont see anything over any screws on my psp, and i hanvt done anything to it

[gamefreak1g]

There are some screws under the sticker in the battery compartment. If you try to return/exchange ur PSP to Sony or someother places, they see if that sticker has been removed or damaged, if yes, then you can't return/exchange it cause it would void your warranty.

oh ok, only ones i saw were the screws on the bottom of the psp
