Hacking Left analog broken

[MUDD_BR]

hello, I've found a vita in 3.50 firmware but have issues on left analog stick. Worth try to repair or better not? I already have a 3.60 with sd2vita but the low price tempt me to get another on gold firmware. Thanks

Apparently the joysticks cost about $10 on ebay. Here are two links to ifixit guides for replacing them on a psvita pch-1101. The joystick replacement process should be similar for the psvita 2000.

I'd say fix it.
Can never hurt to have a spare one for cheap.

Thanks, I'll give a better look and try to get it cheaper

Replacing the joystick is very easy, and does not cost much. It would be very convenient to repair.

Repair it. You can fibd analog stick on ebay or aliexpress at 2$ (they're not original but they work well). It's easy to repair. I've already repaired the left stick on my vita and now i'm going to fix the right one. Buy in china where prices are low.

Thanks everyone, I must return to my city tomorrow and then try to get it. I'll update later.

Ops, totally forgot to back that day... well, when I´ve returned the psvita was already sold...
