Cracking Open the Sony PlayStation Portable

After a little fiddling I was able to get the circuit board off of the right side.

I would later find that I had disconnected a ribbon cable in doing this. Fortunately I was able to reattach this.

You can see the end sticking out from under the screen, just left of center in this shot.

Without this connected, the unit wouldn't power up. It's kind of important.
