Where to Buy a Replacement LCD Screen for PSP (2024 Reality Check)

Brand-new OEM PSP LCD screens are no longer manufactured. Sony ended PSP production in 2014; supply chains dried up years ago. "New" listings are typically:

Old new-old-stock (NOS) — rare, expensive, may have degraded polarizers.
Refurbished / pulled from working units.
Chinese aftermarket clones — lower contrast, ghosting, fit issues.

Where to Find Used/Refurbished Screens

Source	Pros	Cons
eBay	Large selection, buyer protection	Condition varies, scams common
AliExpress / eBay (China sellers)	Cheap aftermarket	Quality lottery, 2–4 week shipping
Specialty Retro Shops	Tested, warranted	Higher price, limited stock
Local Repair Shops	Instant, may install	Hit-or-miss inventory
Console5 / RetroModding / Deadpan Robot	Curated parts, IPS upgrade kits	US-based, premium pricing

Better Alternatives

IPS Mod Kit (Best Modern Fix): Drop-in IPS panel (3.5" or 4.3") with adapter board. Brighter, better angles, no ghosting. Available for PSP-1000/2000/3000/Go. Sellers: RetroModding, FunnyPlaying, AliExpress. ~$40–60.
Buy a Working Used PSP: Often cheaper than screen + labor. Check eBay, Mercari, local classifieds.
Professional Repair: Shops like Console Repairs, iFixit Pro—warranty on work.

Model Identification Critical: PSP-1000, 2000, 3000, Go, and Street (E1000) all use DIFFERENT screens/connectors. Verify model (back sticker) before buying anything.
