The PlayStation Vita is the successor to the PSP. It contains a beefed up processor and graphics, and includes the addition of a second analog stick. It was released February 15, 2012.

Vita PCH-1101 Will Not Power On

I have a PS Vita that I bought used and it came to me unable to turn on.

Plugged in with the official adapter, it shows a solid orange light.

Powering it on, it will be solid blue for around 30 seconds, then flash blue 9 times.

Checked internals for water damage and there appeared to be none, unknown if it had been dropped or what.

Also, there are small cracks along both vertical edges of the Vita’s display.

Hi!

Try this: With the system off, hold down the power button for 30 seconds. It should then boot into a recovery menu, where you can choose to start up normally.

Yes, I've tried that. System light responds, no response from display however. There is a small crack along right edge of the display, if that helps. I read somewhere that if the LCD got cracked then it would no longer work.

Vita won't turn on. Solid orange charging light?

So the system seems to respond to trying to throw it into the recovery boot menu. Although the screen still refuses to turn on. Is there a way I can plug my Vita into my PC and get some feedback as to the status of the system?
