    • 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.

    • 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.

    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?

    Alethia Henry - Contestar

    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.

    Why is it the wifi antenna if the cable is connected to the cellular board? it is the primary cellular antenna. the wifi antenna is the 2 small antennas in the upper half of the back case

    Followed the instructions here to open up and check the cabling for the WiFi ( PS Vita no longer connects to WiFi), however I did NOT find any cables except flat ribbon cables. PS Vita model PCH-1003.

Is WiFi / 3G antenna cable: UFL/IPEX to UFL/IPEX 1.3mm? What is the white cable length?

samohvalov2010 - Contestar

Yeah this is not a Wifi antenna cable. The "wireless card" only does 3G and GPS/Glonass. Wifi controller is on the mainboard itself.
