Can You Fix a Broken PSP Game Case?

You cannot structurally repair a cracked UMD case. The plastic shell is sonically welded; adhesives fog the optical window or jam the shutter.

Preserve the UMD (Disc)

1. Extract Carefully: Pry the shell halves apart with a spudger. The disc sits in a plastic hub—lift it out by the center hub only
2. Clean: Isopropyl alcohol 90%+ on microfiber, radial strokes center→edge
3. Store in Replacement Shell: Buy empty UMD replacement cases (white or clear) on eBay/Amazon (~$5-10 for 5-10). Snap disc in
4. Label: Print custom cover art; insert in clear outer sleeve

If You Keep Original Shell

• Wrap UMD in anti-static sleeve → place in cracked shell → rubber band shut → store upright in cool, dark place
• Do not stack; pressure cracks propagate

Note: The UMD disc itself is robust (cartridge-like). Data loss only occurs if the magnetic hub detaches or the read surface is deeply scratched.
