I recently bought a 2nd Vita, an OLED! I am always happy to see your videos, and I am not surprised that you made such a helpful video! This is very encouraging to repair a Vita. Thank you very much for showing!!
That's super cool! Now add a USB-C and it will be perfect! I did a similar mod to my 3DS, I just soldered two cables, one to v-bus and the other to ground. It could be done the same with the Vita, it would be a bit harder if you wanted to preserve data transfer as well (in my case I usually use FTP with VitaShell)
I also made this replacement a few weeks ago!!! i think it was with the link you posted on twitter so thank you very much!! blue is definitely gorgeous 🔥
THAT brings back MEMORIES!!! Refurbishing a Vita I got from a Pawn Shop... Such a GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE!!! (I never wanna see a Ribbon Cable again!) You've done SUCH a good job!!! It's GORGEOUS ❤❤❤❤
@@ZealousChuck It's definitely fixed! And it's an OLED model too! I just got new parts from Amazon, learned how to mod it, and it's been my Pride and Joy Ever Since!
Blue front looks great,I keep on mine PS Vita black front (original) but I bought a grip/case front and back from Top player and hard travel case as well from them and now my PS Vita has better grip and is more useable.
@@ZealousChuck Not trying to disrepect you man but it wont crack, I have installed these screens multiple times, you just force the screws to thread exactly as they would have done it at the factory. By removing plastic it makes the threads weaker increasing possibility of stripping it in the future.
Hey Chuck, it is interesting with the screw holes not lining up properly. Goes to show these replacement screens on Ali now are not OEM. Or then again, another possible theory is that these are OEM but since Sapphire Blue and Crimson Red are the rare Pokemons of OLED (with special battery connector and motherboard) then may as well have special screws for their special screw holes. You can only tell for sure by comparing the screws of an original Sapphire Blue Unit to those of Black-White-Silver.
All the screens sold on Aliexpress are legitimate Sony Screens, They do not come pre-threaded because you are supposed to create the threads with the screws so it is a snug fit. It's actually really easy to thread them when you have a good driver like the Ifixit. What he did, digging out plastic is absolutely not necessary and probably not a great idea.
Only the Complete Shell Kits that do not come with a screen are fake. When shopping for a new screen it should come preinstalled with the front shell half like the one in the video, they are all left over Sony screens, when shopping for the back half of the shell it should come with a preinstalled touchpad and aplastic protective sleeve covering the sticker that you have to peel off, those are real back shells... If you see parts with no screen or no touchpad they are fake.
I've not long refurbished a 2000 model with a damaged screen and joysticks. It's now got a white shell, I kept the original buttons as I thought they looked better than the white one supplied with the shell.
The screw hole issue seems kinda sketchy, but when I got aftermarket shells for my Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color, the screw threads weren't made in them already, so the screws go in kinda rough the very first time. It seems like a quality control issue that ideally they would improve on, but for cheap chinese stuff you just gotta take what you can get sometimes. I think the black buttons were the right choice, it looks nice to have a bit of contrast.
This is a real Sony screen, not a knockoff, none of them come pre-threaded because you are supposed to create the threads with the screw to have the tightest possible fit for the threads... It's easy to do if you have a quality screwdriver bit that is the right size.
Thanks for watching 🙏 black were definitely the right choice. It fits nicely even with black rear side but would change it if I could for blue. Maybe I'll put there skin. Ive seen blue one
Hey, just to be on the safe side, the replacement one is an OLED right? Most listings indicate that the screen is a LCD. In case it is a real OLED, did you notice any differences with the original one? Like the sharpness, contrast or Mura effect (the black dots visible on pure black loading screens etc.) Great content as always, much appreciated man.
I just bought a minty red Vita 1000 for under $200.. i wanted the ice silver version.. but a bit more expensive.. the red version is pretty sweet though..
I might dabble in changing out the screen and joysticks in a near future. I have the white Vita. I never knew how much I would like the system. I like it better than the Switch to be honest.
I once reshelled a PSP 1000 to put an IPS and battery mod in, and whilst the end result looks nice, I'd never do it again. The PSP shells are such crap quality and it was a nightmare trying to get the shell to align. I had to use the back section of an original PSP in the end, but even the buttons were awful. And then of course there is the nightmare of getting it fastened down without trapping any dust behind the screen. It was pure stress.
I think that's like an aftermarket shells right? Cuz I can imagine those wouldn't fit properly. I ve always just swapped shells and buttons from og psps but the colours were limited
@@ZealousChuck Yes it was, they're all bad. It's only the faceplates that are of ok quality. But the PSP with how old it is, is limited to finding parts for it. I sometimes look at Ebay in the hopes of finding a good quality white PSP 1000 that is broken, so I can use the faceplate. But they're always scratched, always knackered in.
@@arcticdragon1136 are u sure? With my old sd card I had issues and I though that is the reason😁 cuz with the others level 3 sd card I had no problems.
I did psvsd 512gb and 512gb sd2vita but keep getting errors on apps after a few minutes. Think I can't have psvsd as ux0. Sucks because it is faster reading
No the connectors are different, also the electrical current to the LCD panel is higher than the OLED so you would fry the OLED panel even if you managed to rig it together.
i would like to buy a vita 100 aagain but just to play psp. I thought psp games through adrenaline looked very bad so idk if i should buy a vita or psp scince i never had a psp. i
When you play PSP games through Adrenaline, change graphics settings in Adrenaline menu. I think it applies bilinear filter by default, which makes PSP games look blurry and shifty. Change it to something like AA (sorry, I'm at work right now, so I can't look up my Vita at the moment). That would make PSP games look A LOT cleaner. Also, when playing PS1 games, go to the same settings and change the scaling to something like 1,210 to still have a proper 4:3 experience.
Aqua Blue or Sapphire Blue🙃?
Sapphire 😊 it's BEAUTIFUL!!!
Aqua blue
For me BOTH🙃
Aqua obviously
Nonpdrm not found on my modded Ps Vita is stopping me from downloading vita games and I don't have a computer. What do I do????!! Please help
Blue Vita with black buttons looks astonishing!!! Great job !
Im loving it too🙏🤝
That's CRAAZY, well done
Thanks for watching 🙏🤝

Can you point me in a direction to youtube videos where i can learn stuff like this because i always thought it was so interesting
I only use data transfer so I will skip it for now
Great content🔥 Keep it up👏
Thank you! Will do!🤘

Have you managed to get it fixed? My first Vita was also broken and I had to fix it before having a good time🙃
@@ZealousChuck It's definitely fixed! And it's an OLED model too!

Sapphire Blue Vita is stunning! The Cosmic Red Vita 1000 also looks great 👌

I'm one minute into the video and this is awesome, glad to be here first❤
every broken Vita needs to be rescued🙃 thanks for watching 🙏
Thankyou man 🙂
Do you have any idea on avoiding screen yellowing/browning around the bottom towards the charging port?
@ELIENAI001 nothing you can do about that. Well you can still replace the screen 🙃
Nice, I have 3 Vitas 😂. I have the black and sapphire blue 3G OLEDs and a red slim. The sapphire blue looks great!
You just needed a better screwdriver bit to install the screws correctly because the threads are not precut. Get an Ifixit kit brother. Nice Vita!
I have tried with better one but it felt like Im gonna crack it if I force it just a bit mor3 so I went for this method
@@ZealousChuck Not trying to disrepect you man but it wont crack, I have installed these screens multiple times, you just force the screws to thread exactly as they would have done it at the factory.

They're oem not sure about those hol3s but it wasn't a big issue
Did same thing recently, blue Vita is just best looking portable console ever
Hey, that's ME?! 😮
Good job Chuck!
Good job too🤝🤘
Ficou muito bom! Você é o melhor!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Damn that shout out caught me off guard
🙃🤘 thanks for support brother. Why paczki btw? Isnt it like polish word?
@@ZealousChuck Paczki also means packs in russian
Aqua Blue is always my favorite. Always wanted Aqua Blue Vita 2000 and finally I can own Aqua Blue one
Good choice

Quality is great Ive tested mura at the end and it's always oled. Lcd doesn't work on ps vita 1000
I just bought a minty red Vita 1000 for under $200.. i wanted the ice silver version.. but a bit more expensive.. the red version is pretty sweet though..
Very nice and helpful , was the new screen same sony quality Oled ?
Yes very hood quality
Awesomeee!
Good job :D
Do you know any mod for battery? Are there any reliable replacement batteries or other tricks?
I might dabble in changing out the screen and joysticks in a near future. I have the white Vita. I never knew how much I would like the system. I like it better than the Switch to be honest.
Never underestimate vita 🙃
The Aqua Blue buttons would have fit in well if the sticks, start, select and PS button where also Aqua Blue.
I thought the same..but dont have anything else
@@ZealousChuck luckily black works well with all colours.
Awesome...😮
Thanks 🙏🤘
Выглядит шикарно, хотя было бы органичнее с задней панелью такого же цвета.
I've ordered blue skin, i will try that but not sure what shade of blu3 it's gonna be
Sapphire, I have an original Sapphire Blue 1000 and I love it
All fat Vita colours were gorgeous 🔥
Somebody needs to sell some custom psp/vita shells. I think I saw a patapon shell for psp sometime ago. It was sharp.
Yea these would be really neat🔥
Kinda wish there's oled mod for vita 2000
Would be cool but nope
did you feel any drawbacks , if the previous screen was better ?
that sir, is beautiful.

It's a level 1 sd card. In my opinion it's better to use lv 3 cards, are more fast.
Vita speeds are not fast enough. It's only useful if you pull the card out and use a good adaptor with pc.
⬆️⬆️
@@arcticdragon1136 are u sure? With my old sd card I had issues and I though that is the reason😁 cuz with the others level 3 sd card I had no problems.
I want impossible slim model with Oled 😅
I did psvsd 512gb and 512gb sd2vita but keep getting errors on apps after a few minutes. Think I can't have psvsd as ux0. Sucks because it is faster reading
I really wanted to know if you could replace the vita 2000 with the oled one...
No the connectors are different, also the electrical current to the LCD panel is higher than the OLED so you would fry the OLED panel even if you managed to rig it together.
⬆️⬆️
Are all replacement screens compatible with the 3g vita or do I need a specifically 3g screen replacement
I'm about to switch the shell, battery and the rear touchpad of my vita. I'm just scared I'll mess it up lol
Just be patient, gentle and dont rush it
@@ZealousChuck Alright, thanks!
Im thinking of getting a refurbished vita from ali express. Which one do you think to get 1000 or 2000?
whats the best sd2vita adapter for a high capacity sd card? want to have a 512gb but don't want to deal with slow load times.
Where did you get the blue 1000 buttons from or did they come with the screen? Sorry if you explained in the video but i skipped thru.
From my aqua blue, they sometimes pop up on aliexpresss
How did you run Blasphemous, i tried but failed. Can you help me of make a video?
Have you donne a guide video for vita batterie remplacement ???
Aswome vita❤
It's pretty much just the first step. Open it then you have access to battery so you just take it out and put there new one
When you are taking out the mother board be EXTREMELY CAREFUL! I broke my volume down button. Bummer.
You gotta be always careful not just with motherboard
If i make a sd backup on my ps, ill just need to format the new sd card and set it to ux0?im going from 256 to 512
but is it actually an OLED display? because very often we read LCD😢
Only oleds work for 1000. whatever the listing says it's always oled
@@ZealousChuck thanks, now I can buy easily without worries😊
i would like to buy a vita 100 aagain but just to play psp. I thought psp games through adrenaline looked very bad so idk if i should buy a vita or psp scince i never had a psp.
i
Psp games looks great to me
I’m pretty sure adrenaline has the same graphics as a real psp maybe even better just cause of the screen quality but i could be wrong though
When you play PSP games through Adrenaline, change graphics settings in Adrenaline menu. I think it applies bilinear filter by default, which makes PSP games look blurry and shifty.

i got a psvita aqua blue in the best condition for 167 aud

@@ZealousChuck yeah these are overpriced in australia, ebay has them for 210-260 aud but buying straight from japan is cheaper
