I come from the distant future in the year 2024. We have overcome many global strifes, wars, and economic collapse. However, out of all of that, the Vita lives on! VIVA LA VITA!!!!
There only one sad thing. Not one big developper that Will make a game on it. It's sad because the Vita is still the handheld With the best graphics. (Nintendo switch is not a real handheld, it's a hybride console. With a handheld feature. And still have not a game like cod or uncharted or Killzone. Like more adult games ) but the Vita has it. Sony can still. Today revive the Vita. But they don't. It's a big shame on Sony.
"Don't use too much force…" WHAM! *slams Vita down to get screw out* Thanks for the video! I have to do this today and wanted to go through what to expect.
Thank you so much. I bought a SONY PS Vita used in craigslist but the owner failed to tell me that after it is fully charged it only lasts 15 minutes. Problem is once you buy "as-is" you are gambling. Thought it would be very difficult to change the battery but after watching your video over and over for 30 minutes, I got the courage to do it. Thank you so much. It works fine. I wish however PS Vita shows the percentage battery life not just the green color. Thanks a million. This battery change was done March 2019.
Thank you for this video. It helped me out (there were more screws than I saw, darn it!), and I'm not sure if I would've felt comfortable detaching the cables if I hadn't seen you do it. Mine's together and charging on the new battery right now. Thanks again!
freaking $10 solution. im about to buy a new charge kit or worst replace my vita then i found out that the freaking problem was the battery dying. then i found this video and saw how easy it was to replace it. thanks
Even though the vita did poorly in the market. It still has great Jrpg's. Mine always died out, even if it was full charged. Wanted to play some more on it, but didn't want to pay so much to replace it. Your video solved my problem. Thanks bro.
I had to go to another video as I couldn’t work out how to get the little cover over the battery cable off, turns out there is a little clip you have to push in, so this video needs to be clearer in that regard.
I haven't a PS Vita in my case. I actually never heard of it. I also don't have access to the internet an I heard about this Video and asked a stranger to subscribe it for me...
Thanks for the video. 2023 April 17th. Vita still alive and I am still enjoying playing it. Best part, almost all the software is dirt cheap! I figure I'll be playing it for another 5-10 years.
Finally got around replacing the battery. My PS Vita has been with me since 2012 and batt Finally gave out in 2021. I would only be able to play with it connected and even then it was finicky. Changed it out thanks to your tutorial. Thanks
Thanks! Your vid helped me to make sure I was doing everything right! My 1001 turned on right away after battery replacement! I purchased my battery and tools on Amazon :)
Great video I need to replace my battery today. I turned it on, and it says it has full power, but when I started playing Trails in the Sky FC Evolution it instantly said low battery. I'm lucky that i have an extra Vita of the same model so i can change the battery from my extra to my main one. Thanks for the great tutorial I definitely wouldnt have known what to do without this video.
How about having the moment of truth first Then put your screws back in... Just in case! Cool video! 2019 and I'm still gaming on a vita! Such a decent bit of kit!
Great video! My battery replacement went very easy thanks to you! By the way, you should let your nails grow... Just saying. It's a lot easier to pry open electronic stuff with your nails than with some plastic pieces! ;-) Anyway, once again : great tutorial! Many thanks!
Thanks so much for this video! It's weird how Amazon are selling batteries dated from 2011 (yours says it too, check the 4:42 time stamp). But hey, it works! Fingers crossed it doesn't randomly die even though it says it's at full charge, like the original battery did. :)
My PSVITA is laying because I need to do this, I can charge it full and 5min into a game it says battery low hahaha 🤣 the video has given me confidence to DIY my handheld hopefully IL also upload a video on it.
Dude I was about to pay someone to fix it but with what you showed it seems pretty simple to do by yourself I use to tinker with my systems to fix myself but the vita just seemed alittle difficult at least just from me looking at it but thus has made up my mind. I'm gonna order a battery to fix it myself
Mine was pretty easy to get the back off, it just popped up on its own since it had a spicey pillow under it. Knew something was amiss when i saw it kinda bulging on the back.
My vita 1000 won’t even turn on anymore that last thing I remember about it was that It would only last 3 minutes playing a game then go black instantly. Would power on then show the date and time 1/1/2015 screen. I don’t know what’s wrong with it but I tried swapping batteries with my other vita 1000. Didn’t work
@@Naurto58 I have a extra vita that actually works and isn’t modded, I switched the battery from the good one to the vita that won’t turn on and nothing happened, I made sure I had both cables connected.
Amazing video Bro. - I bought a Vita this Year (2019), I've never owned one before, and I want to play FF X HD Remaster, I have the Ps3 Version but never completed it, I prefer Handhelds, and I want to buy a New battery because I don't like buying Used Consoles, I prefer to put new Batteries in & Charge them to 100%.
I couldn't agree more, I still use my Vita every so often and I also own the Switch. It's a shame that Sony doesn't seem like they're interested into trying for a new handheld.
I don't see why you have to charge Lithium batteries from20-50%(rough estimate) to lengthen their lifespan. I constantly run my Vita flat(done it for four years) and it is still fine. Intersting video though.
Nvm looks like I found it. You might wanna change the link in your description lol. www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXJV54X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_N38603VWAWZQC3JY1HXC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for this video, my Vita stopped charging suddenly no matter what method I tried. Was hoping it was the battery and not the connector. I just replaced my battery (£12 order with battery and 10 x spudgers) and it seems to be charging. So thanks so much, I've got so many games to play on my Vita that I would have been tempted to buy a second hand one for £80 or a new one on eBay for £160 just to get through my library.
Thx to this video I managed to swap my old battery with a new one it wasn't exactly a 1 by 1 ztep though since I managed to break the battery holder thingy so I just glued the new one in place and even spit zome saliva on it but I still managed. Lol.
Yeah i can see it's not as easy as on the PSP, but kinda easy, in a way that it's not buried under tons of electronics to make it stupidly difficult to replace. (either bad design, intentional or not)
1. Great vid! 2. Are the batteries the same for both of the PSVitas slim version and the fat version? 3. I've got the fat one and it keeps freezing, I even got plenty of things turned off e.g. WIFI, Bluetooth e.t.c when I'm not using them. What do you think I could do to resolve this issue? 4. I await your reply. 5. :)
1. Thank you! 2.They are different, the slim uses a smaller shaped battery 3.Is your storage maxed out? If not try making sure there isn't allot of apps running in the background (maybe a hard system reset would resolve it if all else fails) 4. Done 5. :D
baconisgoodtoo 1. You're welcome. 2. Oh okay, thanks. 3. When I bought it I factory reset it. Don't really have much stuff on there only played 2 games. Didn't even use the built in apps much neither did I download anything. Maybe if/when I replace the battery it should get better. 4. Thank you. 5. Have a great day.
Hi brother, my Vita fat just isn't working. I don't know if it's the charger or the Vita. is there a light on the charger i should see? If it IS the battery, how much does a new one cost? It was working a couple of months ago when i bought it second hand, but when i tried to charge it (i blew out all the connections to make sure nothing was in there, i also cleaned and unplugged each part of the charger, blew out any dust and reconnected eveything, and tried leaving it plugged in for 24 hours in 2 different sockets in the house. There's just no blue light at all on the vita.
If the charger is working you should be able to see a blinking orange light on the PS button. If there is no light at all then the charger may be faulty. I suggest you find a different charger before diagnosing the battery, which cost 10$ more or less on Amazon.
My Vita has been dead for about 2 years, so you suggest I replace the battery myself or take to have someone else look at it? It stopped charging and the new charger cable I bought( without the box, just the usb) doesn’t charge it at all.
There's probably a good chance the battery is completely dead. As far as replacing it, if you have the tools and confidence to do it yourself then follow this guide it's pretty simple. I would recommend getting the charging box with the cable you have, just to make sure it dose charge.
Jeannie just look it up on Amazon or eBay. There's quite a few of them, just make sure it's for this modle and not the slim since they use slightly different shapped batteries.
I come from the distant future in the year 2024. We have overcome many global strifes, wars, and economic collapse. However, out of all of that, the Vita lives on! VIVA LA VITA!!!!

2020 still alive ... But freeze and sudden death still there ....
I'm gonna change battery soon ... Hoping i can get rid the sudden death problem
"Don't use too much force…" WHAM! *slams Vita down to get screw out*
Thanks for the video! I have to do this today and wanted to go through what to expect.
Been a while but how did it go?
Definitely one of the better battery replacement videos I have seen for the PS Vita and easy to follow. Thanks I'll use it to replace my battery.
Nicely done. You have the video zoomed in nicely and are explaining everything you do straight and to the point.
Thanks.

Hack your vita and you can get the battery percentage
it’s surprising how easy devices were to repair compared to them being almost impossible without a soldering kit and every tool in the world

Yung Ennix I'm glad this video saved you from buying another one!
Yung Ennix it's super easy plus changing the screen to a nice new one is also simple unlike the psp go that was a pain
any suggestions for me? my vita wont charge unless i plug in to my pc while the vita is turned off
did you lose any data?
@@arda9440 nope vita still working up to this day
Thank you this was very helpful. Just replaced the battery out of my 1000 model. It was pretty easy thanks to your video

I had to go to another video as I couldn’t work out how to get the little cover over the battery cable off, turns out there is a little clip you have to push in, so this video needs to be clearer in that regard.
I confirm this, there are two tabs on both sides that need to be pushed inwords to pull the cover off
I do not need to replace my battey, but i wathed the whole video ;)

Just an FYI y'all, never connect the battery first, you don't want to energize the console while you connect ribbon cables
Thanks! Your vid helped me to make sure I was doing everything right! My 1001 turned on right away after battery replacement! I purchased my battery and tools on Amazon :)

Where do you get a replacement battery?
Jeannie just look it up on Amazon or eBay. There's quite a few of them, just make sure it's for this modle and not the slim since they use slightly different shapped batteries.

hey i broke the white battery port off the mother board omg im so sad and scared is there any way to fix it, i can try to sodder it on
did you lose all game data?
