Thank you for the in detail guide. I just fixed a Vita after the former owner broke the screen while installing a protective case. There was tiny y shaped plastic bit on top of mine, to the right of the camera that wasn't present in your video, but I managed to pry it loose ans slot it into the new front. Also, my Vita had much more adhesive used which made the removal of the ribbon cable really fiddly. But in the end I managed and there is no longer a black tear in the middle of the screen.
Hey I just wanted to say thank you! This helped me return my Vita to mint condition! I was even able to clean up and tighten down some stuff that was dirty/loose before thanks to you lol
Thanks for the guide, really helped me to fix my screen. It was mostly fine, but the person that owned it before me let it get way too scratched up, and I just couldn't ignore it.
Really good guide. The ribbon cables were a b*tch to handle, especially the one connecting the two halves together. I feel like I messed up putting it back together because the sound isn't as sharp as it once was and sounds off, and the home button feels a tiny bit like it isn't out all the way. With all the internals and the fact I just put it back together I'm going to leave it as it is for now. Better than having the large line of dead pixels streaking across the screen.
I admit to not being experienced, but the part I really needed to see were over shadowed by your fingers. I pryed up the part that connects to ribbon and broke it .have to order a new mother board
I dont know how to completely turn off my ps vita because the screen has a hole(it was smashed by a car door)and I already took it apart, but the light on charging works and I clicked the power button to turn it off , is that okay
Clean the cartridges with alcohol and swabs, specifically the contact pin areas. Make sure the cartridge spot doesn’t have any debris either. If that still doesn’t work, I’d guess some broken contacts from the slot to the board?
a little late but i just got a white/pink ps vita from japan and the white on the front is kind of yellowed. The white around the screen is fine, but the part around the buttons is a comepletely different colour. Not even patches but consistently, i hope you know what i mean. Anyways the replacement part in the video consists of front shell and screen in one and i was wondering if i can just pop the screen out and use a new front shell? In the video it looks like theres only one part so im not sure if its possible
I think it’s possible but I’ve never done it. You maybe need to use some kind of glue to adhere the LCD to the front housing? I usually just get it already combined.
Khan.. Where can I order for my ps vita 2000 backtouch pcb board flex cable... My back flex cable cut into 2 part, while trying to fixing it in... Though I checked amazon for d parts but not available.
if you are talking about the ribbon cable attached to the back housing, I think you would just have to replace the entire back housing. It shouldn't difficult to replace. Here is a link to black back housing, you are also welcome to find others: amzn.to/2Qk2NrR
yeah, the replacement part includes screen, digitizer, and front housing. You can use this for just a cracked screen or an unresponsive digitizer. You can also get just the screen/digitizer without the housing which I can link.
Hello. Thanks for the video. If you don't mind, I would like to ask for advice. My vita just suddenly turn down the volume by itself. I tried turned it off and on but doesn't worked. Any recommendations?
maybe the button is stick from a juice spill? you can try replacing the volume buttons or even just cleaning out the ones you have currently with some alcohol and air duster.
Its your battery i guess i have not used mine for 3 years so im in the same boat but you need a ps vita charger too for the right voltage and a new battery because it might be dead.
Maybe it's the wires my vita needs a battery still so I'm saving for it but sometimes it's some of the cables that dont work but I'm not a professional so I can't really say anything else. ಠ﹏ಠ
To be honest it looks the exact same to me but I haven't done any thorough tests. However, on the white replacement screens, it does seem to be a bit yellowish and I am not sure if this is real or just an optical illusion due to being on a white housing.
bro i fuckin dropped my ps vita on my carpet … it was on my office chair in my room bruh it didnt even fall that hard but my shit cracked 👎🏽👎🏽 fragile as vita
i’m scared so i’m watching alot of video feel like i’ve memorized the process lol, but this is the best video i’ve seen so far.
I came here just to know how can I reattach the rear touchpad cable, it's really a difficult and sensitive process.
thanks for the video BRO!
Did you manage to insert it with the little tab or do you have to insert the part with the little connectors?
Nice tutorial. I was able to replace the shells, buttons, and the analog sticks. Looks like new now. :)
Nice

Brilliant, replaced my cracked screen with a beautiful new one using this video.

Thanks for the great guide, managed to replace my faulty PS Vita screen.
Thanks! This helped me replace my screens for the first time.

Super helpful. Thanks so much for explaining each step and taking your time. Now I'm not worried about doing the same process on mine. :)

This was SOOO helpful, thank you
Thanks bro! It worked wonders. Now I can play vita again!
Thank you! You saved my life 🙏🏻
Love the video but my OCD was trigered when i noticed that the buttons wernt cleaned befor going in the new top case
Attaching that last ribbon is killing me! I had to give up on it and try again the next day
yea it can be so annoying, def use the tab it helps!
@@khan_xo I want to use tweezers, but I'm scared to damage it
@@Game0nMan unless they are plastic tweezers I would avoid that haha

Excelente vídeo, ganhou um novo inscrito!
I'm from Angola
I’m gonna order me one today off ebay.
I don’t trust myself replacing the screen myself, so where do i go to have it replaced?
Wait so the little ribbon for the touch screen you insert the little tab in or the part with the connectors ?
Very helpful
This helped a lot I would've Broke my rear touch pad if it were not for this video.
Can you diagnose my ps vita? The sounds always buzzes.
I dont know how to completely turn off my ps vita because the screen has a hole(it was smashed by a car door)and I already took it apart, but the light on charging works and I clicked the power button to turn it off , is that okay
Thank you so much!! Earned a subscriber
Great tutorial but painful to watch dirty buttons and old damaged analogue sticks being installed into a new housing!
Is it possible to install an OLED screen on a 2nd Gen like this one? The home and select being transferable as well, to avoid extra cutting
I haven’t seen any purchasable things like that, only one off made at home crafts.
@@khan_xo ah, gotcha. Thank you for your insight!
Thank you for the guide! May I know how to fix it if the touch screen does not work? Thank you again!
hi thank you for the tutorial, but the screen is Original From Sony? or is a chinese replica?
My game cartridge slot isn’t reading games, any thoughts?
Clean the cartridges with alcohol and swabs, specifically the contact pin areas. Make sure the cartridge spot doesn’t have any debris either. If that still doesn’t work, I’d guess some broken contacts from the slot to the board?
@@khan_xo I just bought it off eBay and the seller said they don’t fit, so I’m going to buy a sd adapter and see
Me cringing as you put the dirty buttons right into the new screen housing.... 😬🤣
Great Tutorial! Was easily able to replace my screen! Thank you!

Subbed immediately you're so awesome
Does this front replacement basically replace the screen AND the digitizer?
yeah, the replacement part includes screen, digitizer, and front housing.
You can use this for just a cracked screen or an unresponsive digitizer. You can also get just the screen/digitizer without the housing which I can link.
How are you holding the camera?
Probably a head mount
Since he's talking probably his nostril holes
Tripod
Ik this is late but maybe a go pro idk

i like the vita's engineering, they care about the right to repair and for consumers in that aspect.
I was surprised when I didn't find any "warranty void if removed" stickers on it
the back touch screen ribbon cable... what a nightmare
i replaced but it still isnt working what do I do?
Its your battery i guess i have not used mine for 3 years so im in the same boat but you need a ps vita charger too for the right voltage and a new battery because it might be dead.
@@HeelzyBinging that didn't work
Maybe it's the wires my vita needs a battery still so I'm saving for it but sometimes it's some of the cables that dont work but I'm not a professional so I can't really say anything else. ಠ﹏ಠ
I fucken looooove my vita slim im actually waiting on another one to be deliverd
I love the Vita sad Sony stopped supporting it. I’m surprised we haven’t seen a Vita 2 yet I guess Sony not doing handhelds anymore.
Hey bro how is the quality of picture/material compared to the original?
To be honest it looks the exact same to me but I haven't done any thorough tests.
However, on the white replacement screens, it does seem to be a bit yellowish and I am not sure if this is real or just an optical illusion due to being on a white housing.
@@khan_xo so the picture quality is good as original?
@@tydon19 yeah
@@khan_xo Thanks!
this goes harrd!
Basically my ps vita that came out 8yrs ago has a blank screen but it lights up blue
Welcome back..??? @ 0:05 lol.. You fkn wish... Like people make the the wrong choice twice...lol
Thanks i now kno it’s best to just buy a new vita even tho it’s just scratches
Here's a video that shows you how to open the Vita up a bit faster and easier than all that prying. ruclips.net/video/Nb6XnXi2n3Y/видео.html
How to know if the screen is broken
If it's broken
@@goldensilence5841 yes
Its broken if it does not register the touch screen or if its just blank
