If anyone has removed that hardware before on a 3G vita you'll be greeted by an annoying error message each time the console is rebooted, something about hardware failure, contact support.. Well of course it's not working, the needed hardware isn't there... I know this is a very strange question, but I want to remove the 3G hardware. I have no interest in it, it's pointless, the messages from it bother me, and people have said online that if you remove the 3G hardware you gain roughly 30 more minutes of battery (not proven, but nice if true). I'm sure with the introduction on Henkaku we can remove the files which tells the vita whether this is a 3G console or just a WiFi console. Does anyone know if it is possible to either A. prevent this pop up from ever appearing, or B. make the vita think that it was only a WiFi console and never had 3G capabilities? I know you can delete the network operator application, but obviously there is going to be more to it than just that.
And the main reason I want to remove the hardware is because I'm planning on replacing the charging port with a micro usb port. I want to put the port in the sim card door as to not have to cut the case at all. I've tested the placement and it will work perfectly well there, but in order to put it there I need to permanently remove the 3G hardware.
Any and all help appreciated, thanks in advanced!
EDIT: And yes, I know these are all petty complaints... I just want to know if anyone knows of a way for this to be possible.
