I have a Ps Vita 1000, broke the internal OLED screen around two years back, other function assume to be still working as I can still hear the sliding sound and open/close app, just no display.. And since I need to replace the OLED screen and as we all know, Sony Malaysia does not cover warranty and even repair services for devices bought outside Malaysia.
Been seeking high and low and found no one able to do a screen replacement and the oled part is hard to come by anyway.
Til recently while I visiting P.J. Section 14 Digital Mall for mobile parts and met a guy from a game kiosk upstair (I guess I cant tell the kiosk's name here?). Told him the situation and he say yes he might able to ask his technician to do the replacement, which kinda surprise me, and he says it costs RM380-400.
So I wish to get opinion from all the sifus and experienced players or any technician/shop owners here, that: 1)Is the price acceptable? 2)And is it safe to hand to them for repair? 3)Any other suggestions to get it fixed or any other technician/shop recommended?
(PM me if its too sensitive to include shop/technician name and contact in the thread.)

For RM380-400 you might as well just buy a new one. Brand new 2K vitas cost RM600.

Erm, I test play the 2k in store and find that I personally prefer the 1k bulky feelin and the screen sharpness, well maybe my taste is odd, idk.. Haha.. Another thing is this unit is quite meaningful to me, I looking for someone to fix just wonder if this is the price or I should just keep it. And ofcoz will appreciate if there is any alternatives/outlets/ or other solution recommended This post has been edited by Davidoff888: Jun 30 2015, 03:02 PM

And ofcoz will appreciate if there is any alternatives/outlets/ or other solution recommended I've seen comparisons between the two models, and as much as i agree with you about the 1k model, with that kind of price tag just to replace the screen, you're better off getting a new 2k.

or just get a Vita TV value pack, it's like Rm300 now with a 8GB MMC. IMO it's not worth to get the 1k now, u might even wanna dig around garage sales, second hand unit might go around that price also

Well getting a new 1k not so worth anyway, was hoping that will have any store offer replacement with a lower price. Or maybe selling the front panel with a resonable price so I can try to fix it myself with the help from youtube, sounds crazy but thats how I replace my laptop and old phone parts Anyway this unit is quite meaningful to me. Hope can repair and continue using, or just keep it.

Guess will keep searching if any offer me with lower replacement costs... Or might just get a used 1k n keep mine.

Problem solved, thanks to Heavyarm Subang. Super fast repair, eventho screen protector was removed and repair process scratched a lil bit on the naked screen (in which i already expect that from start so not an issue for me)..
Given 1 month for the new inner OLED screen from them, lets see how it goes.
Repair is super fast and friendly, and they will keep making sure other parts are all functional, at last even discount 5bucks on new protector.
Recommended for all who has similar problem or any hardware faulty..
