My cousin's PSP LCD has this big crack in it which causes the top third of the screen to be just black.
I was looking at Ebay for replacement screens and they run $40-50. Has anyone purchased and installed one?
Main question: What is the quality like?
I don't mind an involved install process as long as the screen looks good.
Thanks!
EDIT 6/28:
I ordered a psp screen for $34.61 from dealextreme: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3217 . I ordered June 7, and finally received on June 27. (Ships from Hong Kong, so it takes a while.)
I replaced the screen, and it looks fine. Brightness seems fine, and I don't notice ANY dead pixels (better than original screen!). The only issue is that the new screen does not have black sticky "gum" on the frame, which was on the original frame. I have no idea what it does, but it is not there.
I would post pictures, but my camera can't seem to take good pictures of psps. Take my word that it was broken before, and now it is fine.
Replacing the screen was fairly easy because I read about it and watched a video on it before hand. Once you get the idea, its really pretty easy.
