Necessary Replacement Parts:

• LIP1412 Battery Pack for Sony PSP GO

Necessary Replacement Tools:

• Precision #00 Phillips Screwdriver

Note: Above tools are included for FREE when this replacement battery is purchased from mpfproducts.com.

Step 1

• Using the #00 screwdriver, remove the 4 screws from the back of the PSP GO.
• Turn the PSP so you can see the top of the device.
• Using the #00 screwdriver, remove the 2 screws by the volume buttons.
  

  

Step 2

• Using a plastic opening tool pry around the perimeter of the back cover to loosen it on all sides.
• Open the back cover by gently lifting the right side, and lifting up to the left side. Be careful not to rotate the back cover from the bottom, as you will break the plastic screw holes on top of the device.

  

Step 3

• Pull the top cover upwards gently lifting from its housing.

  

Step 4

• Use a plastic opening tool to gently flip up the left trigger connector.

  

Step 5

• Using the #00 screwdriver, unscrew the 1 screw holding the trigger in place. Remove both trigger and retaining plate from the device.
  

  

Step 6

• Before beginning this step, take caution to not peel the sticker away from the left EMI shield. It will expose the "VOID VOID" lettering that will void your 1 year manufacturer warranty.
• Use a plastic opening tool to gently peel the "Warranty Void" sticker. Start on one edge, as shown, and slide the tool from side to side until the sticker is removed from just the battery.

  

Step 7

• Gently pull the sticker away from the battery connector, just enough so that the connector is visible.
• Wedge a plastic opening tool in between the connector and logic board, and gently pull the connector upwards. 
• Make sure to not disconnect the white connector socket on the logic board - just disconnect the connector itself.

  

Step 8

• Use a plastic opening tool to push up and pop the battery out being careful not to grab the "Warranty Void".
