5:22 that's Micro USB B 3.0/3.1/3.2. It's not a proprietary port.
It's perfectly retrocompatible with Micro USB B 2.0 and it was often used on external 2.5'' hard drives and on some phones with usb 3.0 capability which came out before the creation of USB Type C, such as the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Never heard anyone call Analogue sticks "joy-cons" as that's the whole Nintendo Switch controller

Joy-con means Joy Controller

Awesome video. I have the slim and the OLED model. The charger port always annoyed me and the Sony memory cards, that was a big mistake on their part. Underrated console though, way ahead of it's time.

Something I just found out recently, at 6:58, you can use the fuse on the other side for charge and power. it's a much more direct path.

Spot on video, building my confidence to usb-c my vita so watching a lot😂

It can also play some ps2 games through the PlayStation store

i thought its gonna be an Oled Vita but bro replaced the "digitizer" which also includes the display with an LCD istead of Oled panel

2:02 those parts aren't "missing" they got removed to cut cost by sony they are not strictly nessecary
i reckon this ps vita came with a minimum firmware above 2.00

I've kinda been thinking about doing a USB-C mod to my 1000, but I'm also considering just replacing my 1000 with a 2000 because I hate how thick it is... Can't decide lol

You are giving me confidence that I can swap mine. I purchased it. Modded it. It works amazing. But it looks And wants to freshen it up with a white or blue shell. I’ll come back here if I ever get the guts to follow through. Great vid!

It took me a while to realise that the Joy Cons you were referring to was the analog sticks T_T. JoyCons are the names for the Nintendo Switch Controllers just like the DualShock 4 is the name for the PS4 controllers.

[Soosheon]

This was pretty in-depth and well narrated. Alternatively, I hate so much that you called them joy-cons.

[JK-xzlt]

I saw some price breakdowns, but how much overall did you spend on this refurbish and mod? Excellent video by he way.

[Nikosaruninja]

Oh I was thinking of this everytime I pick up my vita, usb c would be so nice

[EVOLLOVEx]

Omg like dude, that’s totally man, that viiitaaaa was trashhh but you fixed it mannnn (in hype surfing accent)

[tm]

Excellent video! Where do you get the replacement digitizer and body panels? I haven’t been able to find any that look original.

[bigdmc]

Any chance of sending me the white buttons need them for a mod I’m working on.

[idkwhattonamemyself]

the transition started one year ago from me posting this comment, society has stopped calling them joysticks and now calls them joycons, what a time to be alive, also why did you dropped small smds on a towel!?

[voidvoidvoid]

Just found a Vita 1000 in excellent condition and bought it but the USB-C mod is out of stock 😰 daaaang my timing is terrible ! 😭

[phdmr]

Can't the joycons be substituted with a hall sensor one?
