You can still add additional storage (microsd, psvsd, usb flash) shown in another video soon. You need the usb functionality as described in the video and description.
The behavior of Vita without the forced broken slot IS THE SAME JUST WITHOUT THE 3G CARD. You DONT NEED TO PERMANENT DISABLE THE SLOT. Just REMOVE 3G and reboot after the 1st startup. The SYSTEM WILL FORGET the card and thats it. DONT FOLLOW THIS S. F. TUTORIAL.
@@naocomputei That's incorrect. You need to do both the software disable and remove the 3G card to disable the error and the crashing. The removal of the mPCIe port is to make room for other mods and to allow soldering to the USB points.
Very nice guide. Had my 3G vita for years always wanted to do the battery mod but removing the 3G board seemed like a pain. Interesting to know we can remove the 3G hardware but still have the option to add an SD card using the exposed pins. Thanks
I had major battery problems, when I’ll go to bed battery was at 100% then I shut it off and the next day it was at 35%. So it was draining even when it is off. I put in a new battery but that didn’t improve anything. Last thing I could do what’s to remove the 3G chip and sim tray. I did that yesterday and went to bed. Before I went to sleep the battery was at 89% the next morning it was at 88%!!! So it will help!
Hooray better battery! But anyone reading this, you don't have to destroy the port like I did in the video to achieve better battery. Just remove the 3G card and the belt to the SIM card like hengelo... long username did :)
You can also just disable the cellular modem by long pressing the PSVita button. My guess is that if they had the original SIM card installed, the console was searching for reception nonstop because 3G doesn't exist anymore.
I'm kinda sorry I don't have a 3G Vita. I'm perfectly happy with SD2Vita, but I'd love the possibility of using PSVSD, or even charging via something that isn't a propriety port! Single most annoying thing about the original Vita...
@@anderxale1 Excellent stuff! I will watch it with interest... and maybe attempt it *after* I'm happy I can do the battery mod (and possibly having bought a spare vita...)
Appreciate your channel just did this and upgraded battery. Y changed screen but the new one touchscreen was not working. But thanks to ur channel now I know how to change it.
Thank you for this information I didn’t know my battery was keep dying I charge full after 1 night the battery was empty after I remove 3G modem now is good
Sorry no, to install USB host you need to replace the 3G module. On the WiFi there are missing components under the heat shields. Yifan Lu who came up with the USB mod (PSVSD inventer) thought it might be possible to convert a wifi board to a 3g board by installing the missing components since the operating system is the same... but nobody has ever tried as far as I know.
I just stripped the two posts on the 3G chip :( I had the proper starshaped torx bit but I didn't realize how soft/fragile the screws were. You mention just removing the post, do you mean I can just use the wire cutter or plier method to remove the posts while the chip is still installed?
Yes! Be very careful obviously. I recommend the pliers - grabbing very tightly and rotating GENTLY. Careful for near components. Don't pull - just rotate.
@@anderxale1 thanks for the quick reply brew so I haven't done this part yet since I needed to buy a pair of pliers... but if my only goal was to replace my screen, do I have to remove the 3g chip? (I got side tracked when following your disassembly video when I realized my model was different lol) I can see it might be difficult/impossible to manipulate the ribbon cable right under the chip if I leave it installed
@@abvidsify Along with the belt, there is a screw right underneath the 3G card on a grounding plate. You don't have to detach the belt from the motherboard though, just the controller board. If you have a tough wire cutter maybe you could cut the card at the posts instead of cutting the posts off. You can use a drill bit to drill through the stripped torx head further down, eventually the head falls off the screw. I've done this on a PS3, not a tiny vita. Since you are replacing the screen (if the screen has the whole front plastic), you could instead detach the belt from the controller board, unscrew and remove the r board and break the plastic that the screw under the 3g module (on the ground plate). I can't even picture this in my mind but I believe it possible - I don't recommend. You don't need to cut the mpcie port off - but if you cut the posts off it will be harder to use a the 3G to Micro-SD adapter PSVSD an additional storage option only for 3G models. There are more soldering ways to add storage to 3Gs if psvsd is no longer an option.
@@anderxale1 Once I got the right set of flush pliers it was a breeze! I was a little shocked at first, after I cut the second post the chip just popped out .. along with the ribbon cable right under it. But I put everything back real quick just to test and everything worked fine :) The rest of the screen swap out was a breeze following your assembly video. Thanks for the detailed response of course!
I'm releasing a PSVSD video tomorrow (the normal way with the psvsd card in the mPCIe port) and then another video on psvsd and USB installation after the mPCIe removal Mod in this video.
Oh, if all you want to do is switch to PSVSD, the video tomorrow will help you. If you get both a psvsd and a sd2vita you can have tons of storage and put that very expensive 64gb away. ;)
Downgrade to 3.60 if you haven't already. Vita deploy makes it really easy. Changing storage location at boot requires full access. (Might be possible on 3.65? I have no idea about any firmware other than 3.60).
This is for exposing the pins for internal USB, internal storage, and for making room for large battery mods. If you want your 3G to stop eating batteries, all you have to do is remove the card, not the entire ePCIe port. Thanks for the comment! :)
Just a quick one for anyone plz,i just want to take the 3g module out for battery drain,so do i need the pliers or wire cutters to do the slicing and that like you did in the video?or do i just remove the module and do you have to remove the posts too?
Nope! Just take the card out and change the registry setting in the software! If you have a red or blue colored 3G Vita then you need a special screwdriver, a torx T8. Remember to do the software registry setting or you will get constant errors after removing the card. Sometimes the screws on the card won't come out... removing the posts instead of the screws will help you remove the card. No need for you to remove the plastic port on the motherboard like I did.
@@anderxale1 thanks for reply I've literally just finished now,i had the one without the torx just a cross head,one of the screws wouldn't come out so a rounded it off down low a used a shard Stanley blade to grip it and it came out,just fired it up now and the error has come on,so I'm going to follow the rest of the video now to get rid of that,and hopefully sorted,thank you very much buddy👍.
I will remove this board, but only the board, because I *think that this is the cause of the constant Gpu Crash I got here, only my 3g model do it, and it always happen a little after "Internet Connection Lost" message during gameplay(the message pops-in in the game, then, gpu crash) and it happens everytime in the same order, so I bet, it must be it; -~- And my 3g model isn't jailbroken
Yes. Remove the board and do the registry edit. You don't have to destroy the port just remove the card and change the registry . You may want to jailbreak only to turn off the 3G in the registry. Don't do permanent, just enable homebrew, edit the registry, and then reboot back to no jailbreak. Stay away from Enso and your jailbreak will be temporary. If you remove the card, the Vita crashes after error message until you do the registry edit. Yours might be doing it if the card is broken. I wish you good luck with your vita
Well the Vita doesn't have any drivers for other mPCIe cards like wifi cards. I didn't think it has all the right pins either but I really don't know. Good eye though, same port :)
I have a 3g model that is my modded/homebrew Vita that is my baby. I am trying to refurbish it with a new shell swap (white) and hardware. I am thinking of doing this mainly because back housings for the 3g model are almost impossible to find in anything other than black. Are there are downsides to me removing the 3g hardware like you did in this video?
The only downside with successfully removing the port like this is PSVSD is harder to install (still possible - solder 4 tiny wires). A real downside is making a mistake and breaking something, be super gentile and careful each move you make. Good luck :)
@@anderxale1 thanks for the quick response. I just learned about the PSVSD and it seems like something that would be cool to have. I don't think I want to remove everything as there is no going back to being able to install PSVSD with the OEM Vita hardware (no soldering), would it be possible to take out everything except the two screw housings and the PCI port? If i left those in so that way in the future I can install PSVSD without actually sacrificing the integrity of the OEM 3g hardware.
@@mariocolletti8475 The only difference between a wifi vita back and a 3G vita back is the plastic mold and the extra door for a sim card on the 3G. Also: By removing the sim card mount over the controller board (really easy) and removing a little plastic on the new Vita back can make room for the 3G card (or also PSVSD card) - doing these and the wifi vita back can fit a 3G. This wifi back replacement wouldn't allow changing the 3G sim card door to a MicroSD door. Meaning PSVSD MicroSD change is opening up the Vita. Every open is possible to break something - but if you just leave the card in it's great. Some notes: PSVSD (3G) isn't quite as fast as SD2Vita (Gamecard) but has some extra benefits like dumping games or playing game cards while having internal storage. Vita games can only be installed on either PSVSD or SD2VITA, not both. Other games like PSP or Roms can be installed on either.
@@mariocolletti8475 If you take the 3G card out, you will have to remove very little plastic to get the wifi back to fit. Also the SIM card mount will need to be removed easily. If you are at all willing to remove plastic from the back then you won't have to remove the mPCIe port like I did.
@@anderxale1 can't thank you enough for these responses. I'm sorry if I'm stupid and seem redundant. So you're saying remove the sim tray and trim some plastic on the inside of the wifi backing cover in order to get it to fit with the 3g card or PSVSD. My remaining questions would be, with the sim tray removed and the 3g card still in, will I have to change the registry to stop the error messages from coming up? If I had the sim tray out can I also just remove the 3g card whilst keeping the PCI and two mounting points? I like the idea of removing all the 3g hardware except the PCI and two screw housings (expired hardware that adds weight and potential battery drain). So it seems like no matter what I will remove the sim tray, I just wanna know if removing the card and leaving it empty is okay. If I have to trim some plastic on the inner rear wifi shell I will.
Probably a good idea to tell people why the pads are important... Imagine the people that break them for you to later say that they can be use for the memory mod 😅.
This worked perfectly thanks! the 3g module was draining my vita's battery even when turned off and this seemed to be the only option, though the screws were stripped and had to destroy the module, if I factory reset my vita at any point I have to download the registry editor and change the usb debug settings again?
@@anderxale1 Thanks! for anyone that finds this comment and has the same problem, as an update: I tested the battery life when turned off and the Vita holds a charge normally without the 3g module, so if anyone has the same problem it's not necesary to change the battery, just have to remove the module and it fixes the problem.
