Help PS Vita 2000 with Air Pods 4.Gen

Post image
388 Upvotes

Hey friends. I recently got a Vita and I'm really looking forward to playing it on the go. One reason why I was so excited about the Vita is that I read that the Vita connects very well with Apple Air Pods.

My Air Pods connect great with my Vita .... but I get absolutely no sound out. No matter what I do, I can't hear anything. The Air pods are definitely connected. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I haven't found a post about it.

Help Strange sound behavior on vita 1000

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, sometimes my vita doesn't have sound at all. Sometimes it sounds like when you tap something in the settings (but for all auctions). Leaving it for a 1-5 mins sometimes helps. I already tried to rebuild database, nothing. Issue persist when cable is plugged. Help me plz!

Help psvita 1000 charging issue

Thumbnail

89 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I recently bought a PS Vita 1000 from Mercari and it arrived yesterday, but I’ve been having some major issues with getting it to charge properly. Here’s a rundown of what’s been happening: • When it arrived, I plugged it in to charge, but no orange light showed up. • I tried different outlets and charging blocks, but none of them worked. • Eventually, I plugged the charging cable into my PC, and the orange charging light finally appeared. However, after about a minute, the light went off, and my PC showed an error: “Device Descriptor Request Failed.” • Every time I replugged it into my PC, the same error popped up.

After spending hours unplugging and replugging it, I eventually got the Vita to turn on. I set the date and time, but it died after about 30 seconds. I repeated the process, which took another hour or two, and managed to get it on again, but the same thing happened—short life and then dead.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far: 1. Ordered and tested the official 5V power adapter, but it didn’t work. 2. Opened up the Vita, disconnected the battery for 30 seconds, and reconnected it. No luck.

I don’t know how to solder, so I wouldn’t be able to do anything with the charging port.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any ideas on what might be causing it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. (posted screenshots because reddit wouldn’t let me upload videos)

Help PS Vita 1100 Scratched Screen Repair (without just replacing it)

Post image
33 Upvotes

I recently got a vita 1100 and the screen is a tad scratched. There's lines towards the center and a small blotch near the center. I don't normally see it when playing games but it's still not great.

Yes, I know you can just replace it for $30 off Ali but eventually we won't be able to do that anymore. I want a future proof solution for this problem and not waste what I have.

(I already ordered replacement sticks. These ones feel like I'm holding onto a wet lollipop.)

My vita 1000 seems to have peanut butter in it 😂 Not quite ready to do the taste test. Is this thermal compound?

Is this something I should/need to clean while I’m in here doing the USB-C swap?

Any other mods I should do while I’m in here?

Thank you.

Help Where to get replacement Vita parts?

I bought this Ps Vita 1000 in white last week and the area that houses the dpad/buttons and joysticks is yellowed. Plus the ps button and start+select buttons are yellowed and I was wondering if anyone knew any reliable places to get replacement parts? I haven’t been able to find ANY white parts for the start+select and ps button. But I have found parts (I think) for the area that surrounds the dpad+buttons and joysticks. I’ve tried every sight I can think of. No luck.

Help Left analog stick doesn't allow me to move down

3 Upvotes

So, i recently got back to playing on my ps vita after years of not using it, and everything still works perfectly...except the left analog stick, which for some reason now randomly starts moving up and literally never allows me to move down, even if it isn't moving up at the moment. This has become quite a problem in any 3d game, and I'm not exactly sure of how to fix it

Help My Vita refuses to connect to wifi.

Post image
18 Upvotes

I bought this Vita at my local flea market yesterday and it was working perfectly, but when I got home I realized its wifi capability just isn’t working. I’ve factory reset 5 times and shut down and turned on about 15 times. And I know the problem isn’t my wifi because my other vita (rip) worked just fine with it, and so does every other device in my home. Sometimes when I shut down and turn on, the wifi setting is off so I turn it back on and it immediately turns itself back off, and the times it does stay on, the Access Points gets stuck on Searching. On the off chance that my wifi does show up, I type my password and it simply refuses to connect and keeps showing me an error. Could this be hardware related? My Vita isn’t hacked either.
