Cracked/broken shellSwollen battery

A swollen battery had broken the battery door's retaining clip. A new door sorted it; a good reminder to check those old aftermarket cells regularly.

A spicy pillow had broken the retaining clip in the battery door for this aftermarket PSP shell. I bought a replacement to fix that. I'm still amazed at how bad aftermarket shells are for these consoles. #Sony #PSP
