Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Japanese PlayStation Vita 2000 (Slim) in very good condition, and I would like to make absolutely sure that both the display and the outer shell are original Sony parts, not aftermarket replacements.
I already know the basic differences (LCD vs OLED, general build quality, etc.), but I am specifically looking for reliable, definitive ways to verify originality — ideally things that cannot easily be replicated by third-party parts.

I would really appreciate input from experienced Vita owners or repair specialists who have handled both original and aftermarket parts.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards
Attila

For example:
- Hardware identifiers, markings, or serial-related details
- Known visual or physical characteristics of original Sony LCD panels
- Differences in plastics, fitment, seams, screws, or internal labels
- Teardown photos or reference guides you personally trust
