So, what did they find when they took their spudgers to the PS Vita? First and foremost, a very modular design which should aid in the swapping in and out of parts during repair. As we mentioned, this is made easier by Sony's use of common Phillips #00 screws. There's also nothing securing the battery in place and preventing you from replacing it yourself if the mood strikes you (hurray!). As far as hardware is concerned, the iFixit team identified the following parts:
* Sony CXD5315GG quad-core processor
* Samsung KLM4G1FE3A-F001 512 MB Mobile DDR2 SDRAM
* Fujitsu MB44C026A
* Marvell 88W878S-BKB2 Avastar WLAN/Bluetooth/FM Single-Chip SoC
* Wolfson Micro WM1803E audio codec
* STMicroelectronics 3GA51H gyroscope
* Kionix KXTC9 three-axis MEMS accelerometer
