So I had this ps vita from a friend, and it’s really old. It works sometimes when I turn it on and sometimes it won’t. Here’s what happens : It turns on sometimes, sometimes it won’tNo light on the ps button and it doesn’t charge, but the pc recognizes it when I connect it via cableWhen it does turn on, it randomly turns off at some pointI had to set the date and time every time It powers onI’ve tried replacing the battery, and it immediately powered on. I tried to chrage it but it still won’t. I powered it off just to be sureNow the problem is back again. It won’t turn on, won’t charge. Anybody knows what the problem is? Could it be the port where you connect the battery to the board or anything else? I really need help right now. Any help would be very much appreciated
I don’t think it’s the port where the battery connects to. You can try to clean it carefully. Did you tried a new battery or a used one? When you connect it to the PC, does it charge then? And is it recognised when it’s not displaying anything? Did you checked the port where you put your charger in ? Looks like it’s a motherboard related issue so far..
