I've been working on the vita for a while and notice that many people around me are experiencing something I call Which can
"Black Screen" occur after freezing or just randomly.
It's when the Vita has a black screen after "Unzipping" to go to the menu or charging the Vita after Dying completely.
It can lock your Vita from loading to the "unzip to unlock" screen and keep resetting your Vita.
This is just something I have noticed and taken into account of making a guide onto how it can fixed if it happens to anyone in the PlayStation Vita community.
Note: This isn't an actual problem with all Vitas nor does it mean that your Vita is venerable to black screen. BUT, all
Vitas could become frozen due to the things that trigger Black screen. Sometimes, the Vita freezing can lead to Black Screen.
Things that trigger the Black Screen
- Pressing the power button constantly while the Vita is in need of more charge. ( The Vita requires a certain amount of time to be charged enough to boot up)
- Ejecting the memory card while the game is being saved
- Ejecting the memory card while content is being installed
- Ejecting the memory card during transferring files via Ps3/PC
Before learning how to fix your Vita from Black Screen, you need to know Soft reset and Hard reset.
In order to Soft Reset your PlayStation Vita, you need to hold down the power button for 5 - 8 seconds.
This will turn off your vita completely.
In order to Hard Reset your PlayStation Vita, you will need to hold down the Power button, the Right trigger button, and the PlayStation logo button at the same time.
**MAKE SURE YOUR VITA IS CHARGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING.
--------------------------------------------------
- If your PlayStation Vita is frozen, do a Soft Reset
- If your PlayStation Vita loads up with a black screen (meaning it's just blank), Do a Soft Reset ...Remember, when doing a Soft Reset for #1 Blue, the power up screen will pop up. If your Vita is frozen, the popped up power settings will not work with touch screen or analog sticks, just continue holding the power button.
--------------------------------------------------
1. *PlayStation Vita was frozen and I did a Soft Reset but I got a Black Screen.
Power off your Vita and take out the Memory card, then restart the vita and follow the prompt messages. Re insert your card when appropriate.
2. *My PlayStation Vita loaded up as a black screen and Soft Reseting did not fix the issue.
Do the same steps as #1 Yellow.
--------------------------------------------------
If Soft Reseting did not work, and taking out the memory didn't work, then you might have to do a Hard Reset.
1. Load the Hard Reset menu which will look like this. Doing it succesfully will lead you to Safe Mode.
Only three options here worked for me as I didn't even bother to touch the Format Memory Card.
1. Restart the Ps Vita system through Hard Reset
2. Rebuild the Database (The people that handed their Vitas to me for fixing, I made sure there was no memory card in the slot.)
3.Restore the PS Vita system
Option one usually worked for me right away.
