If the pictures are any indicator, you may be able to tell that the crafty guy installed a full fledged USB port to be flush with the surface of the bottom of the Vita (more pictures below). So with this in mind, handy dev ZexceilXario downloaded the open source files and went to town on his own Vita to see if he could do something similar.

YifanLu has his “eagle” open source files that lets the Vita understand the USB/MicroSD pinout and other infrastructural aspects. So, why is any of this relevant? Well, it seems that over on GBATemp, a user saw what YifanLu did and was simply inspired. I know Hackinformer personal donated to this too as every dollar counts for such a great cause. At the time of this writing, YifanLu reached his goal and has been funded even an extra 30% (great job YifanLu!). This means you could be walking around with up to 2TB of space on your Vita (when those large sd kind of cards are available). The adapter in question would let you put a microSD card inside your Vita. The money raised would go towards creating purchasable adapters for the 3G model of Vita. Also device was shipped back with the sd card and all contents still on system.There’s been a lot of buzz recently around YifanLu’s Indiegogo page attempting to raise money.

Was dubious of using them initially, but now I have ‐ they're my goto Wizards for repairing any tech issues I have from now on.

They're legit and dont use your lack of technical knowledge to overcharge you or get you to pay for unnecessary repairs. Can not address how truly grateful I am to have stumbled across these guys. Vita shipped back that day and recieved within specified times. 24 hours later the fault was diagnosed and a polite call recieved from Mark stating the actual fault they had discovered (a capacitor had blown due to USB cable frying out) and that the capacitor had been replaced and the Vita was charging up like a good little baby. Suspected USB cable had frazzled as Vita still would not charge even with a new / different battery. Sent in PS Vita 2000 with 256gb sd card for a repair as Vita stopped charging randomly.
