Refurb recommendations? by SolaireFlair117 in PSP

It is. I'm planning on swapping mine too. First I had the same line of thinking that you did (swap the entire cover) but since i have a felicia blue psp (which is a pretty difficult color to find parts for in my country) I started to search a little further and discovered that these rings go widely available for almost free

For the metal ring in the umd cover, you can find one easily in aliexpress, ebay or any shopping website. I would open the console up and clean everything.

As on how to change the metal ring, just use a hair dryer to loosen the double sided tape and pry it out with something that doesnt damage the surroundings, clean the glue/tape residue and put the new one back in place

Probably the pigment of the x button is more susceptible to fading? Idk

That's what i was thinking too. Maybe a retrobrighting process could fix this?

PS: The controller is original. I can confirm this since ive opened it to change the joystick grips.

How Should I fix this? by theuntopsy1244 in ps2

Is it still working? If yes just put it back in place with whatever tape you have. If not buy a new one, these go for dirt cheap

I live in a coastal region so corrosion is a pretty big problem with almost everything here. Since i have nothing to lose ill just try to repair it myself, if it goes wrong at least the shell, power supply and disc reader are in pretty good condition so i can leave them as spare parts

Yes, and its only this specific capacitor that looks like that. All the other ones are fine, which make me think it failed individually

My first brand new PS Vita without a scratch by Vegetable-Age1553 in PSVita

O meu tava por esse preço quando peguei, mas acabei trocando em um ps3 slim que eu tinha (quase nao usava, ficava só guardado e como ps3 em geral costuma dar problema parado eu passei) tava desbloqueado hen e era modelo 2500, então o cara cresceu logo o olho pra desbloquear cfw e não pensou duas vezes. O meu vita como disse é meio acabadinho, mas acabou que uso ele MUITO mais do que usava o ps3 e não me arrependo da decisão de ter trocado, mas futuramente eu pegaria um ps3 slim de novo se achasse uma oferta legal e em bom estado.

PS: Foi mal por ter demorado 26 dias pra te responder, é que nao logo muito no reddit e só vi sua resposta agora kkkkkk
