Replacement shell..where from and easy to do?

My sons PSP fat has finally decided to die (or rather the battery has) so I have said I will order a new battery and, at the same time, get him a complete new shell/fascia/button set to make it look all shiny and new ;-)

Can anyone recomend the best place to get these from though...there seems to be loads on Ebay but it's hard to tell what the quality is like. I would ideally like something that is as close to the original shell quality as possible.

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi! I just got a new top fascia from ebay from the seller - is.it.here.already!

And it is very good quality! - You don't get new buttons, just the fascia. Next day delivery as well.

I followed this tutorial - PSP Repair Information

Was done in 20 minutes. Get some alcohol wipes to clean it when it's apart.

Good luck. Any problems ask away!
