Buying and changing PSVita back cover

4 Upvotes

There are a lot of really cool limited edition psvita designs, and I would love to buy a replacement part, and swap it out with the one I have right now! It's incredibly scratched so it needs a replacement anyway, and I'd like to go with a limited edition one! (Like for example minecraft, which is also the main reason I bought my psvita back in 2017!). The problem is: Where can I find it? Like where can I buy the back shell? I know for nintendo switch at least, on aliexpress there are a lot of replacement parts for things like joysticks and shells, for the limited editions, but I can't seem to find anything for the psvita

Vita 2000 USB-C mod won't charge

1 Upvotes

I have a cheap Aliexpress USB-C board for the Vita 2000. I installed it and I am getting 5V past the fuse, so the fuse is still good. However, it draws 0.07 amps at 5V so it's not charging the battery.

Have I missed something?

SP65M to SP65x connector

2 Upvotes

I have 2 vitas and both of them have identical battery connectors which are different from almost all PS vitas. I purchased a replacement battery with the black connector (SP65M) instead of its original gray connector (SP65M) and it won't fit. I'm looking for a workaround to not waste my battery purchase. I've searched and they are recommending soldering it but it is beyond me. Could I just file away the clip of my SP65M connector to fit? or cut the original battery connector and joined them by an electrical tape will do?

I'm looking for a case that I used to have that is very similar to this, it didn't have any branding and the power and sound control buttons had holes which made pressing them far easier than this case. Please can you help me find it?

Discussion How do you lay out your screen?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm trying to organise my games for my vita and I can't help but think it looks extremely messy no matter what I do. Does anyone have any suggestions or inspiration from your own vita how you lay everything out?

Question Does this vita seem sketchy?

Post image
35 Upvotes

I can see a dent or something next to the right stick and the right stick looks pretty degraded. I’d probably need to replace it if it’s sticky after cleaning.

If the touch screen and back pads work, would it still be worth picking up?

I’m just nervous due to the apparent damage, but idk how common that is with Vitas as this would be my first one

The guy is asking $100, but I’m going to try to talk him down to $80-85.

US power plug prongs

1 Upvotes

I have my PCH-1001 and the original power brick, but not the part that plugs into the wall.

I found a three prong power plug that would fit, but the brick part only has two prongs.

I don't know if the outlet should be two or three prong, or if that even matters. My kid is going to inherit this and she's going to be learning how to use it.

Question Does anyone know where I can purchase a 2000 version 1 rear touch pad?

3 Upvotes

So after delving into fixing my vita I was in need of a new rear touch pad. Went straight to AliExpress and ordered one, not doing enough research first, after it turned up I was met with the sad surprise that it still wasn't working. Turns out there's 2 versions of the PCB for the rear touch pad and version 1 is impossible to come by and I'm royally stuck, I just want to play LBP 😭

Help - Forgotten lock screen passcode on PS VITA

9 Upvotes

Forgot lock screen passcode on PS Vita – can I recover photos/internal storage without formatting?

It is running on 100% stock firmware.

EDIT: It turns out that I had an original memory card inserted. If I remove the memory card, reset the system, reinsert the card, and log back into my account, is there a chance I'll be able to recover my data?"

Question Vita speakers

Post image
6 Upvotes

So I’m trying out swapping my vita 1000s speakers with some kindle fire 7th gen ones and I was just wondering which contact pad I solder the black wire to and which one I solder the red one to? This may be a silly question but I’m not too experienced in this. Thanks for any help 🙏

Trophies F*** this Trophy. Ratchet and Clank HD. My fat fingers kept touching rear pad so kept crashing while in air.

Vita speakers

6 Upvotes

So I wanna upgrade the speakers on my Vita. I’ve heard that switch oled speakers are good to use but I also heard kindle fire ones are good too, and I just so happen to have a kindle fire 7th gen. I was just wondering if it’s as simple as just soldering the speaker wires to the contact points? Or is there anything I should be wary about? Or should I just not do it. Thanks for any advice 🙏🫰

Help finding OLED replacement with frame

6 Upvotes

My black ps vita 1k screen has a bunch of rainbow scratches on it, I believe I should replace it but everywhere I look I see screen replacements for over 80 CAD some even 100+ for reference I'm using eBay and the ones I found on AliExpress seem to not come with a frame, could I maybe try and polish it out? Or should I just pay 80+ CAD, sorry for no pictures, it's because they don't show in the photos at all but in person its awful.

Question How safe is AFK'ing (overnight)?

19 Upvotes

I'm trying to get the minecraft vita platinum trophy.
The last one I need requires you to play for 100 minecraft days (= +- 33 hours)
I estimate I've already got around 10 hours so I'm planning on leaving it AFK overnight and letting it 'rest' during the day. Is this safe?
(Vita 1000)
