Chosen Solution
I bought a ps vita 1001 OLED used off a used classifieds app. Without a charger. went and bought the AC adapater (that you plug the USB cable into) and then and went bought the insignia Playstation charging kit which includes the ps vita cable. Pluged it up the orange light comes on and stays on while plugged in. I press and hold it. Doesn’t turn on. Light is not “blinking” like others claim. Just stays orange and nothing. Sometimes orange light comes on and goes off after awhile of the vita charging. I unplug it and read plug it and same thing orange light comes and I try to power it on and still nothing. I tried holding the button for and playstation home button for 30 secs. Still doesnt power on. I’m thinking it’s the battery and Im going to buy another one and have it replaced. and if not I don’t know what it could be you guys tell me? Last option for me is to buy another PS Vita preferably a white one. Any tips on what the problem is? Or what I should do? Thanks
Since you have an orange light, this system has most likely been off for quite some time resulting in the battery being drained. Just leave it plugged in overnight and your problem will most likely be fixed. Also, Since you bought this PSVITA used, it is probably linked to the previous owners PSN account. to reset the system to factory settings you will need to hold the Power Home and PS button. after that select reset to factory settings. Let me know if this works for you and if you need anything feel free to send me an email at tyler.hoban@gmail.com I hope this info fixes your problem.
