Movingthe PSP controls

[ninjamonkey]

I have a question. I am trying to make a PSP laptop sort of thing. I was thinking of just taking the controls and moving them to the bottom while leaving the main motherboard on the top. Only problem is I have a few idea on how to do this, but I am not good with soldering to really small connections on the PSP. I was either going to take a PS2 controller and make that the button controls while remove the controls from the top; or I was wondering, is it possible to solder to the contacts of the PSP controls and the PSP d-pad film??

If your not good at soldering id leave it alone and practise first dude just incase you mess up

scrape the pad down to copper and solder to it....warning, there is no going back.
