DISCLAIMER: Me or PSP-Online has no responsibilty of you screwing up your PSP.
This short guide will explain how to make a see through UMD (Universal Media Disk) door have a window.
Tools: -Razor Blade (Or any other THIN knife blade if a razor isn't possible) -A small flat head screw driver (preferably jeweler size) -Clear packaging tape -Dremel or Soldering iron (basically anything to cut/melt a circle out of the UMD door) -Super Glue (The glue for fake nails works too)
Steps: 1. A clean work area, put a towel or something under your PSP to avoid scratches. 2. Use the flat head screw driver to take the UMD door off, stick it in the bottom corner of the door and pry it out, be careful not to break the little knobs that hold it in. 3. Take the useless metal cage out of the UMD slot. 4. Now use the razor blade to pry the metal ring off the door, DO NOT bend it. I've heard using a hairdryer to heat the ring's glue makes it a TON easier, but I cannot verify that. 5. Now with out the ring, the outside of the door should have 2 indents that make circles, cut the inner circle out with the dremel or soldering iron or whatever you want to use (I have seen the razor blade can be used). 6. Put a strip of packaging tape over the whole (don't touch the sticky part on the other side of the whole or let anything get on it). 7. Put another strip of tape on the back side and press it down so there aren't bubbles in between the two tapes. 8. Cut excess tape off (Any tape that goes past the outer indent), if you want you can leave the tape on the inside alone. 9. Now glues the ring back in place, making sure all the sides are down.
Mine that was done in about ten minute after I dropped and cracked my PSP's UMD door.

P.S. If you bend your ring, put the ring on an unwanted hardcover book, put another unwanted hardcover book on top of that. Use a hammer and pound on it like hell. The two flat surfaces put even force on the ring so it straightens out.
