PlayStation Vita Won't Turn On? PS Button Blinking Blue?

Posted on Thursday, February 23 @ 13:21:48 Eastern by

If you're like me, let your PlayStation Vita fall asleep in your hands, cradled softly by freshly washed linens. You also played Lumines: Electronic Symphony way too much last night.

Then you woke up this morning with the equivalent of a dead horse's severed head in your bed! Ohhh, look how they massacred my boy! Look what they did to my boy! (Yup, two Godfather references.)

Don't panic. To save the PlayStation Vita from the blinking blue light of death, hold the On/Off button located on the top of your Vita for about 30 seconds. Your Vita will boot into a debug menu where you can choose to start it up normally.

See? Good as new.

    I don't get it. Is this just happening or is it because you left it on & fell asleep? Also, I love all the people complaining about the "blue light of death" moniker at the link, and Anthony's response to them.

    I'll tell ya, Sony fanboys are the worst. Can't say anything or they'll cut your throat and **** down your neck. So sick of it.

    Over 2000 positive Vita posts, and one trying to help people, but because you associate it with "of death" they act like you're a troll. Fuck that ****.

    Well, it bleeped it all, that time. The first two comments I made look like a fist bump, but as soon as I hit "add comment" on this one, it will ruin it. Three fists are a crowd... or that loose chick's fantasy.

    I haven't had this issue but sometimes the my touchpad will stop working. I reboot it and it works fine but it's happened a few times already in the last 2 days.

    So does it do that because you have it on too long or what? I'm just trying to figure out why it does it
