Can the charging port on a PS Vita be replaced without changing the entire motherboard?
Jerry, only if you find a proper replacement. you can de-solder the old one and resolder a new one. Problem will be to find a replacement.
YES you can, I did i brought a vita charging dock and brang that to ubreakitifixit …. they soldered that new piece on …. the new piece coming from the dock has a board attached to the pins and bascially there is NO LOOSE PINS THAT GET SCREWED UP OR DAMAGED ….
i have it to you have to charge it with coumputer usb but you cant charge it while its on turn it off first but if didnt charge get the the charger up and down move it let the charger dance untile it charge it will work try it
