I Bought 9 Broken PS Vita's - Let's FIX Them! 7 of the PS Vita's are 1001 models and 2 are 2001 models. Here are the repairs I did: replaced 2 charge ports, fixed a sticky X button, replaced 2 screens, and replaced the left analog sticks on the 2 2001 models. I also found that 2 of the handhelds didn't have any problems. I also was a bit stumped by one that had unresponsive select and start buttons. I tried replacing the small circuit board that controls those buttons but that didn't seem to help. I noticed some liquid damage on the motherboard but nothing seemed to be shorted or otherwise messed up because of it. Share your thoughts on this in the comments.

About This Video: I'm trying to fix 9 PS Vita's and hope to be able to make about $50 per repaired handheld less whatever I need to spend on part. These have a variety of problems including messed up charge ports, sticky buttons, damaged screens, and faulty left analog sticks. And a couple of them are really, really dirty. But I also find that 2 of them are already in good working order which is always a nice surprise.
