If that battery is just a block, it might not fit.
It's pretty simple. You can't mess up or damage anything unless you're careful and steady. The main thing you got to watch out for is the touchpad ribbon cable and the battery cable that are attached to the other side of the vita.I don't have the courage to try it out myself and I don't even have the tools. I was thinking of actually paying someone for soldering service. A quick google search lead me to this company called creatron inc. located in downtown Toronto...
I'm just wondering if it is okay to pay someone for soldering service and do you think they'll even help me disassemble the ps vita?
If you want just any random company/individual to do this for you, you'll have to tell them what to do; or show them this guide, but is it worth paying £30+ for someone to do this simple mod.
That would appear to be a phat battery. Can you fit the plastic plate over it and snap it into place?
I have a feeling the phat battery will be slightly bigger than the slim one even when dissembled, but if you want to find out, you can open the battery yourself if you think it's worth doing; though you can't close it again afterwards.
You can always 'try' fitting it into the vita, it wouldn't break anything if you did.
