PS VITA flashing blue light of death......easy fix. 

10 years later & you're still saving lives! thank you so much, man.

hold power button and R trigger to skip through the vid

I was playing last night and ran up to this issue, I tried your advice and let me tell you, you’re a hero. ❤️🙏🏽 Thank you!

Thanks dude 11yrs later you still came in clutch 💪🏼

3 min. to say 1) Don't play vita with charger (which is admittedly useful to know) 2) Hold power button + R for 30 sec. Why don't people learn to be even a little efficient? I've seen complex advanced emulation tutorials with less time than this. Otherwise, thanks for the video. It'll prove to be useful if my Vita decides to randomly quit out on me again.

It works! 😍. You are a psvita life saver. Who else experience this 2024?

You are a life saver! My son was in tears when the blue light was flashing. He didnt understand why it wasn't working because he takes such good care of it. Thanks for your easy fix video. It really was easy! Now he knows not to play with it on the charger.

Dude its 2022 but if you read this you are my hero for saving my ps vita dude

Worked for me... didn't need a 5 minute video to explain this though ... talk about long-winded jeezus.

THANK YOU! Long story short: 1. Hold the power button + Right Trigger at the same time for 30 seconds. 2. A screen will appear. Select the first option, "restart". Done!

Thanks bro! This worked and got my Vita backed up and running.

11 years later , thank you man life saver i was starting to panic 😮‍💨😅

Well I wasn't coming here for a review of the vita. I just wanted how to fix it. Thanks for making me sit through a 4 minute video where you could have just said here and here. 10 second video at best. THAT BEING SAID! thanks, my worked perfectly after that.

2021 December 7 , cleaning out my room and found my ps Vita , didn't use it in years because of this problem , and thanks to you it's alive again and not totally broken , I wish I knew this a few years ago

Thanks a lot mate. You just saved my life. And thanks to all the other users who told me to skip till 2:40.

2022 and youre still a lifesaver

Thank you. I was really tensed when i saw the flashing light. Ur video really helped me thank u once again

Thank you so much I just got my vita less then a week ago for my kid and the blue light of death happened to make a long story short I didn't play it until I watched your video. And it totally worked so if anyone else has this problem listen to this kid thank you so much I can't say It enough.

PLEASE HELP! My Ps Vita still isn't working! I've tried so many things and it won't work.

It’s 2023 and this video helped me

Skip to 2:45.... Everything else is just dude babbling.

Still works on 2022, thank you man 👍

Thanks man I'm getting a ps vita for Christmas and I'm going to use this to help me when this happens

I froze up and was wandering what was happening, I was on a bus when this occurred so I didn't know what to do so when I arrived home it was about to over heat and I had no hope that this will fix, this video and comments just saved me and my vita from dying, thanks alot!

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE THE BEST I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY VITA I COULD THANK YOU MORE!

Its been 7yrs ago since this video is uploaded, but man i tried it today for my son's vita and it did work. So happy. Thank you very much.

Did it really have to take 5 minutes to explain a 30 second fix? You kept going on and on about irrelevant stuff. Either way, thanks for posting how to fix this

As a week old ps vita owner, I just encountered this problem this morning.. I was so worried i wouldnt turn on anymore.. YOur video is a godsend!

the problem with mine is my vita won't go into safe mode no matter how many times i hold down on the buttons

After almost 10 years you're still saving lives… My god you're a saint

Nine year later you save my life dude thank you so much bro

You couldn't just get to the point!! 4min video about your nephew who I can careless about. For a 30 sec fix.

THANK YOU! Was so scared didn’t know what to do until I came across your video

Kudos man.Phew it worked.I knew about the power+rb+ps button but didn't knew this one.My vita's storage burned twice and I thought it's my console's last breath this time.

Thank you very much, this happened to my psvita suddenly, and I didn't know what to do, till I watched your video. Thumbs up to you.

Thanks so much.... not a lot people will help out. It did help its working again n my son is happy.

thank you so much, i got so scared. my screen just frooze while playing NFS most wanted (awesome game by the way) and later turned black. when i got to know it was called blinking light of death i freaked out even more. you saved my vita. you just earned a sub

Power button + right trigger for 30 seconds, then press X to restart the system (thank me for saving you a lot of time)

as said before, cut to the chase a bit faster.... but i thank you sooo much!!! i actually had this problem on the newer generation of ps vita, and instead of the home button flashing, it was a green light at the top, and i confirm that it worked there as well. so THANK YOU!!!

I just had this problem just now it saved me. Thank you so much, but it only took 15 seconds for it to go into safe mode for me.

My vita's 8 years old, the blue light of death freaked the hell out of me. I really thought it died after this many years of use, but this vid helped a lot!! thanks!! 🙏

i know im prolly the only one who still plays on my vita but this worked. thank u so much ur the best for figuring this out

It still works to this day, thank you !

Brilliant, thanks!! TL, DR press R1 and power for 30 secs, the choose restart system. Worked a treat

Worked with the new vita lite as well. Thanks man saved my life.

Thank you so much allie cat. My three year old son brought me our vita with this exact problem. Had no clue what he did. You fix worked on the first try. I am very grateful.

Thanks a bunch. I got worried because my vita wouldn't turn on but now it works fine

Thank you a lot. Had completely forgotten how to force restart. I've just started Mary Skelter and this issue (which I had never seen) happened all of a sudden. Got frightened to the bone... Thanks again, you're a savior.

I just turned on my vita it has been there for 5 years now and it didn’t open it just flashed this light but i tried this and it really helped thanks bro u saved me

THANK YOU SO MUCH... I ALMOST LOST MY MIND WHEN IT SUDDENLY FREEZE AND WONT TURN ON. YOU ARE LIVE SAVER😭😭😭🤗

At first I thought this was click bait but then it worked!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THIS! My Vita froze up while playing Munch's Oddysee HD and this saved me. Thanks a lot!

Thank u man my son just brought this problem to me and now it solved.

After trying everything to try and fix my vita I tried this. As a last resort and after 2 years of no life whatsoever my vita fired up. Didn't have to wait 30 seconds only about 5 and it didn't even ask me to restart or format I just had to enter the time and date. I was over the moon. Then after about 5 minutes it powered off and I can't get it to work again. Life is just tormenting me. Might ty a new battery in it. Thanks anyway for giving me my short 5 minutes of happiness
