I got a vita for very cheap, the oled version. It had a broken charge port, worn battery, bad shoulderbuttons and sticks, so i replaced every broken component, i took a broken 3ds, i took the dpad contacts out of it, cutted it to seperate buttons, and soldered them in to replace the shoulder button mechanism, now, instead of being all mushy, they are nice and clicky, i took out the og charge port and i installed a micro usb port in place where the accessories port was. At the local fleamarket, there was a samsung battery of 3300mAh, a black removeable one, new in the plastic, never used, it comes in a plastic box for safe keeping, so, i soldered wires straight onto the battery terminals for testing, i wanted to replace the samsung BMS board with that of the Vita, but the vita happily works with the samsung bms, so i just soldered it in, had to remove some plastic from the inside to make it fit, but man, the end result is so nice! I can prop the vita up using a phone stand, use a ps4 controller, and play while charging! I love the vita, and everybody is amazed on what i did to this console! I like the vita. I found out later that the battery comes out of a J7, which is nice to know, if my battery wears out, i can just replace it in a matter of minutes! My model was also the 3G model, but i removed everything 3G related, all the antennas, the connector on the mobo and the sim card reader all went byebye! i use a 3g disable plugin to make it think it is just a wifi model. Otherwise my bat wouldn't fit in it. Nice sacrifice imo to gain 33 percent more batterylife!
The USBC idea is great but the PCB could be much improved. Dunno why the PCB doesn't wire internally GND to the holes you solder to lock in the thing in place. That'd save you soldering a wire. Also, if instead of a hole you put the other D pad there and put a via the wiring would be easier and neater. Why a wire going thru the PCB if the PCB can already route that! You could have d+, d- and 5v together on the same side. Maybe since they're together even put a flex cable you solder there and fold it to the other side of the PCB and lock it in. Just some ideas.
Wow, over an hour video? Sorry this was such a pain in the ass for you, but I'm absolutely having a blast with this thing now. Thanks for your hard work! You're the best in the business! ❤
Vita got a 2000mah battery and the note 9 got a 4000mah so it should last about twice, the price for just the battery is about 20 USD. I believe there are other high cap. batterys made for the vita that´s plug and play.
you can also solder in a usb port and use usb sticks on 3g vita's for storage, I have a very small profile size one, it is a 256gb usb 3.0 sandisk thumb drive inside of mine.
There are micro sd kits for that too, including a ribbon and second port in the sim housing, making it easily removable. They should be able to read up to 2tb in theory.
This was one of my first mods, absolutely kills the battery! (Can't turn it off) :) but it is really cool that it works. Better as an external port that you can mount USB drives to.
Hey Modzville, love your channel bro. Any chance you can mod my slim ps2 with leds shell case? I have all the material but not have the experience to do IT!!
Damn I've been thinking about this mod a lot lately. Looks like a pain but if you managed to do this in a hour, I gotta give props. How much do you commission for this mod if you don't mind me asking? Battery mod looks good too. Great job
Thanks god you dont took the Note 7 battery
😅
Removing parts using low-melt solder is so satisfying, was able to remove some big heat sinks on a PVM board almost instantly

My pleasure duder! Naw it wasn’t too bad, first time doing something always takes longer.
I can't wait to see this in person!
Thanks for doing Oxyll's USB-C mod! Looks really clean when done! :)
You made it look easy!
I came here to comment how metal it is to use a lighter to prop up a pcb while soldering @ 400.
One wrong step and BOOM
Super clean work man. Such a cool mod too. I can’t say it enough but damn I want it for the 2000. Micro USB is ass.
How longer does the battery last? Is it worth it?
Vita got a 2000mah battery and the note 9 got a 4000mah so it should last about twice, the price for just the battery is about 20 USD. I believe there are other high cap. batterys made for the vita that´s plug and play.
I did both Oxyllmods typeC and Note9 battery mods on my PSVita 1000...like 2 months ago...I'm glad I did it❤
how long does the battery last now?
Where did you get the usbc board
I love it; "struggling with 350" -increases temp- "Let's prop this up, ah yes, ignition fluid will do". lol
To be fair, I blanked that he's doing temps in Farrenheit. Should be safe around that range, but still getting close.
I love it when people confidently say dumb shit when they have no idea what they're talking about .
love your video, i appreciate you keeping all of the struggles of the process in, and detailing all the parts you use.
Ohgod that usb c mod looks incredibly difficult but you were pretty chill the whole time lol
Love how you put a lighter under the solder tip. Adding a bit of risk to feel alive 😂😂

Totally! Contact info is in the description,for send ins shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you Asap
@modzville, I'm on your discord.
It is Tube Time my dudes
damn, this didn't look easy at all lol
good reason to grab on vita now
Yeah I'm good I ain't doing the port, for sure will do the battery though looks goo goo gah gah difficulty
Cheap solder suckers work well for big holes
Hello, would I be able to fit the note 9 battery, and the usb c mod into my vita if I have the psvsd mod installed? Thanks
Wonderful Very Informative Thx
Damn I've been thinking about this mod a lot lately. Looks like a pain but if you managed to do this in a hour, I gotta give props.
How much do you commission for this mod if you don't mind me asking? Battery mod looks good too. Great job
im interested in doing the battery mod, but im worried that the psvsd with extension will conflict with the space needed
Holy Moly
Is there a way to replace the speaker with a better one?
Why do you have 2 battery percentage indicators?
I do some soldering but I'm a noob at micro soldering.... what's the range you'd charge for each of these mods?
What temperatures are you using for the hot air and soldering iron?
Do it with the note 7 battery!
does it actually fast charge with the usb C?
Hi, I Just readed that NO, only data, and normal charge. I'm looking for info cause im doing this soon
@@inversionescorvacca post a video tbh. would love to see your process
Where can i buy that usb c female in asia 😢
Anyone recommend a good source for low temp solder?
please please please let me back on the Discord server, I'm sorry I tried fudging the rules
That is not a kink electricians call that an asshole. Caused by pulling the wire through a passage while there is a loop on the start side.
