Vita 1000 won’t turn on after 3 years of inactivity. What to do?
I have a PS Vita (1000 model) from a friend I haven’t used in 3 years. It was working when he gave it to me and when i tried it.
Last Friday, the new charger (USB A to Vita) was delivered. I told my brother to put it to charge. When I got back today, it was plugged in to a USB hub (not an outlet/wall charger).
When I turned it on, I saw a blue PS button only, nothing on the screen. I tried holding the power button for 30 seconds. The PS button will blink but nothing will show up. I tried r + ps button + power but that didn’t do anything either.
Then i charged it directly on the outlet for about an hour. I saw the orange LED go on then it went away. I assumed it was fully charged so I retried everything but still no dice.
Finally I plugged it back in to the charger on the outlet where it’s sitting now.
Thanks for any help
EDIT: It turns out the screen doesn’t work, I swiped from the top right to bottom left and music started playing :/
