Hey! I do the same job as you do! For the start and select buttons, have you tried to clean the back of the buttons with alcohol? Worked for me ;) btw, you bought the consoles on ebay? Can't find broken consoles out there...
I actually have a broken Vita thinking charge port but I just wanted to know if you had a suggest of a mail in repair place. Even one I found changes like 200$ to replace which is more than the Vita is Worth.
Where do you buy the sticks for the vita 2001? I had a stick break on me and it started drifting (the tension was gone) and I ordered replacements but the actual stick looks like a GameCube stick (not slick like the vita stick) it works great but just doesn’t look good.
asdf asdf i have vita too and im still using it but the biggest issue is that playstation dont support it and there are any new games (sorry for my english )
The system version doesn't matter anymore. The latest version can still run a temporary hack which gives you the option to downgrade and install a permanent hack.
IF you had told me 5 years ago I would spend a couple of hours a week watching some crazy guy, who fixes it till it is really broken, doing board level electronic replacement videos for fun, I would have laughed at your face. And here we are.
@@Tronicsfix Where can i get a GOOD battery for the pch-1001 model? I just bought a used one Vita from eBay and the battery life is horrible. Cracked it open and the Date on the battery is Dec. 2011. Time for a new one.
Its nice to see these old machines again, I personally have a hacked vita for myself and it is one of my daily drivers for gaming. Shame that sony gave up on them
That's what I think, although it is most likely the buttons have been disabled to only work with the touch screen. Once I had forgotten that I had disabled the buttons cause I listen to music on mine so I didn't want tracks changing on their own since the PS Vita doesnt have a HOLD Button like the PSP and i panicked, but after like two hours I remembered then bam they worked again.
@@Tronicsfix Was mostly a price thing here. It was very expensive for basically a glorified PSP that so many people here (Just like with the Wii U) Didn't see it as a new console worth buying.
Yep. If they would have had usb charging, micro SF card support, and a few more first party games in the second year the device could have been so much more.
check if that number five is jailbroken because you see with the jailbroken ones some buttons just stop working until you reset the console i dunno why but it happened to me before when i had a hacked vita it's like what happens to the home bouton of a ps4 ds4 when you enter orbisman and activate remote play
He could also check the L- and R- shoulder button connections. I had a 2000 model with a bad connection for one of these, the button registered a constant input (as if it was constantly pressed down). For some reason that messed up the other buttons. I cleaned the ribbon cables for the L- and R- buttons and it worked.
17:48 Regarding #8 and#9, that problem of ghost movement is one of the most common issues with the ps vita pch 2000 models. Tilting the joystick at different postures and blowing compressed air generally fixes it in most cases. So better to try that before trying to dismantle it and replace the joysticks.
If i need to fix something video game related I always come here first, thanks for making such detailed and high quality videos. You explain everything when it comes to possible issues and you even mention prices. Your channel is a godsend. Keep up the great work!
i wish you had an online website where you sell these after you fix them. it really is much more confident buying a repaired product from a guy like you which shows exactly what he fixed, how he fixed it and how you could've done it yourself. honestly i can't seem to find ANY ps vita's right now online anywhere other than from Japan. and that sucks because those cost upwards of 130$ lol (tho Japanese vita's are known for being in EXCELLENT condition usually)
I still love my Vita, it's such an awesome handheld, and it basically has a full PSP built-in that you can access after hacking. I've also done some motherboard swaps a couple years ago when FW3.60 was big in the hacking scene. The Vita is pretty modular in build, so replacing faulty parts on it is super easy and straightforward.
Excellent job Steve! It's always fun seeing you repair some console or other tech item from the past as it's not something I see often here! Stay safe!
One thing I can say about the possible liquid damaged devices is don't test anything or replace anything first. Just clean the dirty stuff off and put flux on nearby components and resolder them by hot air gun. During the process, also move the capacitors and resistors to check whether they're connecting to the board or not, which can cause the broken connection between the motherboard and the daughterboard.
Not exactly the truth. Provided your factory firmware version is 3.68 or lower, you're able to hack the system. Only a very small amount of devices aren't able to downgrade to 3.60 which is the best firmware for homebrew.
Eyoldaith I just have a soft hack with h-encore and it’s fine it only takes 5 secs everytime i boot up the vita it’s not that big of a deal imo. any other benefits tho?
I used to fix a lot of iPhones a few years ago but have all but stopped buying phones now but I did put a new charge port in an iPhone 6S yesterday and it is such a satisfying feeling when you realize that your repair has worked.
I am a new subscriber and already devoured most of your videos. High skill, and good clean information always gets me! As a electronic engeneering (who is pretty bad in soldering) I envy how well you can handle those small procedures under the microscope. Congratulations on the amazing work! And maybe you can try to make a video about an old consoles?
My vita is nearly in pristine condition (Definitely not because I never use it) And my Nintendo Switch, which I use regularly is in pristine condition (Not because I’ve invested ridiculous amounts of money in modifying it)
@@Hightower2804TP Japan always gets the best stuff, that's why my psp is a FFVII 10th anniversary number 14323 of 77777 if i remember correctly; OG screenprotector no scratches :)
Just bought one for 70 euros and looks great judging from the photos. Still I am concerned about how dirty could be, gonna open it and clean it thoroughly.
Man just give it time, if you're using it those thumb sticks are going to fail eventually. Luckily its easy to replace them. The messed up charge port is also likely because it is possible to put the charger in backwards which is crazy haha.
Really nice Video, i find the Vita a quite interesting Handheld. I recently bought one and modified it. Would love to see more on this theme, but it also were nice going in more detail about the fixing. Some showing how you soldered, or cleaned in Details would be good to see.
Goodluck, mine also started to get a bad l button after I dropped it once, even after replacing the ribbon cable twice still cant get it working correctly.
I always take stuff apart thinking i can fix it. 1 hour later: Found the problem 1 day later: Left on my desk still disassembled Anything more that a day later: See previous line and it was never used again...
Glad you enjoyed this! Back when I first started my business I did quite a few Vita repairs and I've gotten quite a few requests for this video so I figured I might as well!
okay, you inspired me... I am replacing my ipad pro digitizer, and had to get some of the tools and things you use, like heat mat, tool for tablets, and thank you!!!
About the lower firmware ones being more valuable: Previously they were before but now you can hack any firmware version and downgrade to a lower one relatively easily now. So you can go from 3.73 to 3.60 or 3.65 without much hassle. So I'm not sure how much more value you can get from the lower firmware ones compared to one at 3.73

@@nicolasbourget4163 Happy to hear that!

This console would have been a huge hit if Sony didnt require expensive proprietary M2 memory cards smh fail This was the PSP that we all wanted with all the features missing from the PSP added to the Vita
PS has a huge library (bigger than Nintendo). If done right, PS can again dominate the handheld console market. The general lack of care made sure that PS vita fail. I really think PS should make another handheld console, probably name it PSP2 for simplicity.
@@NaveenAlpha the thing you don't understand is Nintendo will support their consoles even if it runs the company into the ground as seen by the Wii u. Also I highly doubt Sony has more games spanning Nintendo's 7 console and 5 ish handhelds vs Sony's 4 consoles and 2 handhelds. While Sony does make good handhelds I'd argue game wise the gba-ds-3ds had better titles than the psp-vita. Sure Sony's systems were more powerful and feature rich but Nintendo has shown time and time again that you don't need that if you have amazing games.
Thanks for the numbers, I'm sure all the math geeks like me, love a happy ending! 💜🌞🌵 P.s. I love all the fixing too. Especially looking through the microscope, sooo cool!
You can hack a vita technically on any FW, either throw a combination of upgrading to the latest, and then from there downgrading. Edit: do you have a link to the screens?
i cant count the amount of gross used handheld systems ive had to take apart just to clean out gunk for my own personal use, that's actually what got me into taking them apart in the first place 🙂 i havent ever had my vita apart but the one i have is very beat up and thats how i got it cheap, almost seems like a miracle that it functions flawlessly even with the damage it appears to have taken. anywho great video! very entertaining to watch your vids!

i cant count the amount of gross used handheld systems ive had to take apart just to clean out gunk for my own personal use, that's actually what got me into taking them apart in the first place 🙂 i havent ever had my vita apart but the one i have is very beat up and thats how i got it cheap, almost seems like a miracle that it functions flawlessly even with the damage it appears to have taken. anywho great video! very entertaining to watch your vids!
"this one is disgusting" ... from where I'm sitting .. they all look disgusting ...
Hello
In a number 5 ps vita the left green board are broken.
please check that.
You are very good on this never stop fixing things
I liked how now you mention the price of the parts, keep doing so 👍
I actually had that problem with my left stick too, on the slim.
Just some ipa and a toothbrush helped alot...
Yep, that can sometimes get them working again.
btw. if you understand German :D
I would love if you would check out one of my videos...
Greetings from germany
What is your account on Ebay? I'd love to give it a look since I know that everything will be fixed correctly!
I'm pretty sure he has his own store and website. He has it linked in the description i think.
i always check his website always sold out D:
I got one of the first psvita's to hit the public market. Still works fine. People are just bad at caring for their tech
I remember I subbed to you so I can learn how to fix my ps4, you’ve blown up since then! You should consider selling the items you’ve fixed or at least do a subscriber giveaway!
I have 2 PS Vitas. I just brought one of mine back to life after a failed downgrade.
They are very resilient little systems.
9:29 i need help when i try to snap the back frame won't disappear..
"Absolutely disgusting"
*touches it multiple times*
That nasty one looks like someone dipped it in a bucket of earwax. So gross.
I love it !! More handheld console fix please
thanks to your videos I took confidence and I repaired my electronic cig board by myself, I didn't think I could do it (I'm not an electronics expert at all). I was thinking of throwing it away and buy a new one... instead I saved 80 euros, thank you so much!
Hey Steve. I was wondering , where did you learn to repair consoles?
Just started by buying or finding broken stuff around the house...then just kept learning.
TronicsFix thats all?
@@MrBENTENG12 What I've learned, I learned that way as well. I even used my own stuffs as guinea pigs to keep on learning haha.
I've learned to fix the same way as Steve, buy some cheap, broken tech and try to repair it. I'e bought consoles, laptops, phones, Mac's and a few PC's
@@HuntersMoon78 I did the same way. Something was broke aground the house is tinker with it and it wouldn't always work when I was done, but I would at least learn why it broke. Then decades later TH-cam and the internet came around and figuring it out got a lot easier.
Yooooo I haven't seen a vita in years. Used to play need for speed on my friend's console as I couldn't afford one
In your honor I'm installing Need for Speed on my hacked Vita. I'll play it for 10 minutes then never again, just like all the other Vita games.
@@muckymucks you are a good person
@@muckymucks this comment killed me
did you play persona 4?
That charge port looks like horror to repair for newbies
I love ps vita .. never had one haha.. but i love watching videos on youtube.. thanks for this video! It inspires me for some reason :)
I like the challenges you place upon yourself. excellent win ratio!
