i am takig my vita apart (moving all boards/chips into new oled lcd screen/ front part) and am having trouble taking the wifi chip out in order to take out the right button board, the screw closest to the right button board is i think stripped, is there an easy and non harming way to the motherboard of taking that screw out?

umm, just took mine apart and there isnt a card nor a card holder.... what?

Then you have the Wi-Fi only version. Only the model with the 3G modem actually has that slot. This part is the 3G modem module. The actual Wi-Fi chip is on the mainboard not as a separate module.
