So i had to do a motherboard replacement when my 3G PsVita 1000 started showing GPU crashes, so i got the cheapest aliexpress motherboard since there wasn't any better choice when I'm in Brazil.
I go to a shop to replace it, it's clearly a recycled used board since it was a bit scuffed, the volume minus button was missing, it had soldering marks, the headphone jack only played on the right side and the charging port went bad after a week.
Now i got to send this to one of the few shops in my state that i could get a Vita repair, and they took a while but they fixed up all the other main issues, but they called me before i had to pay telling me that they tried replacing the headphone jack but it still had the exact same issue.
there's gotta be a deeper issue than just a bad jack then, i even sent them my old board in good condition for parts, but that didn't help them here. No matter how you connect it, or even by slightly putting a cable in, it will only play right side audio, even when it manages to connect to my left speaker, it's clearly mono R audio.
what could have caused this? i never heard of this type of damage before, but it's really annoying considering how long i had to wait to get my vita repaired. I'd really like to still be able to properly stream my vita to my PC, but this is gonna get in the way
