    • Power off and remove the memory card.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the four 6.4mm screws on the back casing.

    • Using your fingernail or a spudger, pry open the accessory port cover on the top of the device.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the two 5.4mm screws hidden beneath the accessory port cover.

    • Beginning at the sides of the device, use a plastic opening tool to separate the front and rear cases.

    • Continue working your way around the device gently prying it open.

    • There are still wires holding the front and rear cases together. You may damage the connections if you yank the cases completely apart.

    • Gently separate the two cases, minding the battery and the touch screen controller connectors holding the two cases together.

    One of the shoulder buttons fell out when I was doing this step, along with the piece holding it in place. They go back in just fine when reassembling but make sure that they are oriented properly, of course.

    • Free the battery cable by gently prying up on the connection with a spudger.

    Any idea what type of pcb header is on the board for the battery? I have a motherboard with a broken header but I cant source a replacement

    This is where I screwed up so I recommend extra caution for other newbies. Only the black part is supposed to come off. Don't be an idiot like me and pry off too much...

    Yea I messed up there too. Is there a way to fix it?

    This component was far more stubborn than the screen connector when it came to removal. I opted for a smaller tool than the spudger (small flat-head) and managed to disconnect it after determining the best bit size for the job. Screwdriver is metal, obviously, so being gentle helps to avoid damaging anything.

    • Using the pointy end of the spudger, disconnect the three antenna cable connectors on top of the wireless card.

    • Deroute the antenna cables so that they are out of the wireless card casing. Rest the wires out of the way.

    Step 9-11 only apply to the 3G version of the PS Vita.

    Hello, I have the PCH-2001 model of the PS vita and the right analog stick went out. I ordered a replacement and the stick is slightly larger than the original. The original has a black rectangle on the back, the new version has the star version, which is what you have on this website as the replacement part. Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    • Hook the spudger beneath the tab on the wireless card casing and release the tab.

    • Peel up and remove the wireless card casing.

    • Remove the two 4.4mm Phillips #00 screws on the wireless card.

    • The wireless card will naturally pop out at an angle.

    • Pull out the wireless card.

    My screwdriver does not want to unscrew those. They won’t turn at all.

    Got the same, used PH #0 and grabbed wireless card casing with fingers from the top to release pressure on screen and avoid (possibly) breaking it.

    Some PS vita models seem to use a T2 screw instead of a PH#00. I’ve encountered this twice now.

    I replaced de wifi card but is still difficult to connect to wifi. Could it be the wifi antenna? which cable model is it?

    Fernando Diaz - Antwoord

    3G Vita 1000.

    I found that the PH00 head wouldn't actually fit in to the screw correctly. A PH000 fit but was still requiring a bit more force than seemed necessary. Also the card did not pop up when the screws were released and that's because Sony used a tacky pad under the card so needed a bit of prying up to get the angle.

i am takig my vita apart (moving all boards/chips into new oled lcd screen/ front part) and am having trouble taking the wifi chip out in order to take out the right button board, the screw closest to the right button board is i think stripped, is there an easy and non harming way to the motherboard of taking that screw out?

umm, just took mine apart and there isnt a card nor a card holder.... what?

Joe The total Lord - Antwoord

Then you have the Wi-Fi only version. Only the model with the 3G modem actually has that slot. This part is the 3G modem module. The actual Wi-Fi chip is on the mainboard not as a separate module.
