    • Insert a spudger between the front case and PSP, and slide the spudger along the perimeter of the front case to remove it.

    • Remove a single Phillips screw securing the home bar to the PSP 300xc.

    If you are brave enough steps 7-14 can be avoided, i literally just replaced this power switch skipping 7-14 because the ribbon cable is long and flexible enough to put in, but do not screw the power board into place while doing this makes it a lot easier.

    • Push the home bar to the right about 1cm to release a tab, and begin to lift the right end of the home bar slightly.

    • Do not attempt to remove the home bar yet, it is still attached to the PSP 300xc.

    • Insert a spudger under the LCD, beside the black plastic tab.

    • Push the LCD to the left and pry up to release the left edge of the LCD from under the plastic tab.

  10. UEyKMmhYAA5OeYaV

    • Insert a spudger under the LCD, beside the black plastic tab.

    • Rotate the LCD away from the PSP to reveal the LCD and home bar ribbon cables.

    • Use your fingernail or the edge of a plastic opening tool to flip up the retaining flap on the following four ZIF connectors:

    • Home bar cable

    • Microphone cable

    • LCD display data cable

    • Touchscreen cable

    • Be sure you are prying up on the retaining flap, not the socket itself

    • After flipping up the locking tabs on all four connectors, use your fingers or a spudger to gently pull the cables straight out of the connectors.

    • Lift the home bar up as high as it will go, but not so high that the wires disconnect.

    • Try to bend the small tab under the silver rim as little as possible it the following steps. The more you bend, the more likely it will snap.

    • Twist the home bar counter clockwise while carefully lifting it further. The left edge has to lift over the black plastic frame to allow it to rotate.

    • The home bar should now lift out of the PSP 300xc.

    Left part of silver rim can be removed at this point (as in step 27) to make it easy to remove the home bar.

    I wish I read this comment 5 minutes ago! The retaining clip on my homebar weakened and broke as it was under that silver rim. Hopefully some careful application of superglue with a toothpick can hold it in place :D
