http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/ifixit.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/16/ps-vita-teardown/)iFixit's (counter-intuitively) done it again. This time it's made gamers of the world weep by ceremoniously un-fixing a PS Vita (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/playstation-vita-review/), Sony's latest portable gaming powerhouse. Standard screws and fittings -- alongside a modular design -- made for a relatively pain-free deconstruction for these tinkerers -- especially compared to recent iFixit visitors (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/ifixit-pries-apart-the-droid-4-strips-slider-to-see-its-silicon/). Highlights from the tech autopsy include a 2,200mAh battery, Toshiba SDRAM and an OLED display that is unfortunately fused to the plastic, reducing the score down to a could-be-worth-a-fixin' 8 out of 10. Get your goggles, grab a surgery mask and meet us at the source below. Things could get a little messy.
