Hey all,
So A few days ago I ordered a AGS-101 at an extremely low price, and the seller listed it as working perfectly. It came in today and while they weren't particularly wrong, the L and R buttons are dead and the shell is an absolute mess, with a crack down the left side of the hinge that I had to glue in place. I decided to open it up as well and look at how it's doing inside, and the bottom half of the device is an absolute mess. It's clearly seen water damage at some point and there's a lot of rust running around the charging and cable ports.
I have a second SP, an original model AGS-001, and while it's a bit dirty it works perfectly well and its internals are in very good condition.
Obviously I have to re-shell the 101, but I was wondering if I could find a way to use the bottom 001 board with the 101 screen? Has anybody tried this with success? Is it as simple as just swapping out the bottom boards or will I need to do some work on it?
Thanks all,
