I bought my PSP 1000 used, and while it works just fine, you can tell it's used. I'm looking to replace the analog stick, since it seems a little off, sometimes it will 'jump' instead of moving smoothly. I'm also looking to get a colored shell, I'm thinking either the yellow or the turquoise color I've seen online. Are the 'smooth as silk' faceplates any better than other shells? I would kind of like a full shell replacement, but honestly only the faceplate has a small crack near the bottom screw, and I'd be fine with replacing just the front.
I already ordered a three pack of UMD cases, since I bought some used games and the cases are cracked and falling apart.
Can I order one of these analog sticks off ebay for $4 and expect to get something that works? If I get one from a parts site and it's $13, is it the exact same quality as the ones on ebay?
Any preferences on where to order replacement parts for this thing?
