1. Step 2 Front Casing
  This step requires the removal of the warranty sticker. Removing the sticker will void the warranty. According to the FTC removing this will not void your warranty.
  
  Locate the sticker in the battery compartment labeled: "En: Warranty Void if Seal Damaged."
  
  Remove the sticker using the PSP Opening Tools.
  
  Under the sticker is a 5mm Phillips screw needed in the next step.

5. Step 5
  Gently pry the front bezel away from the casing using a PSP opening tool.
  
  Start on the right hand side of the PSP bezel, and carefully work the tool around the side.
  
  If you want to clean the control buttons or D-pad, you can easily pop them out once the faceplate is off and wipe them clean.
