Einleitung

Note::: taking apart your device may void the warranty on the device, please proceed with caution and consider having it sent in first if possible to be worked on by the company. This guide's goal is to help you replace the buttons on the PS Vita Slim. You may need to do this if the buttons get sticky, worn out, or damaged. The buttons should be a simple procedure. As long as you take your time and you carefully interact with the system you should be fine.

    • Taking apart your device may void the warranty on the device, please proceed with caution and consider having it sent in first if possible to be worked on by the company.

    • Please make sure the system is completely powered off and all SD storage cards are removed before starting the removal process

    • All 6.35mm screws were removed using a J00 bit from the iFixit pro toolkit.

    • There are four screws on the back of the device, remove them as shown.

    I actually broke a 32GB storage card because I didn’t remove it first before I open the chasis. Beware of this!!! REMOVE YOUR CARD FIRST!!!

    • The next step will require the opening tool.

    • Please carefully separate the back from the front completely. You will need to disconnect the small ribbon cable on the inside before completely removing the back. Otherwise you may end up hurting the ribbons on the inside.

    • While separating the back, carefully pry all the way around the back. You will hear popping noises while going around and this is a good sign.

    • Upon removing the back panel you will need to slowly and carefully remove the ribbons connecting the hardware to access the needed parts to be repaired.

    • Once the ribbons have been removed, then the back is fully removed and you can access the hardware within.

    Don’t forget to remove the battery at this point. The little corners of the connector that poke out a bit are there for you to pry the connector up. Be careful pulling the battery connector out by the wire, you could damage the wire where it is attached to the connector.

    • We are starting on the left side of the device. This is where the D-pad is, or in other words the left, right, up. and down directional pad.

    • The next step is to take the ribbon off of the green casing on the left.

    • Then simply unscrew the two screws holding down the green casing using a J00 bit from the iFixit pro toolkit, they should both be 6.35 mm .

    • Now simply raise the last restraint, a metal bar that is holding the casing down. Once it has been removed you can take off the green casing.
