Can Rice Save A PS Vita Dropped In Water? - Extended Version - In this video I'll be working with two different PS Vitas, one from a viewer who said they found it in a storage unit, and the other from a seller who said they dropped it in water and put it in rice to dry. Let's take a look inside these consoles and see what we need to fix. Between these two consoles we will for sure have a lot to work on!

    I love you videos. You have inspired me to try fixing electronics instead of just simply tossing them. I am a cancer survivor and had one of my lungs removed and I can’t do anything physically so sitting at a desk trying to breathe life back into something feels right. I hope to one day have half the knowledge and patience you have at fixing these things. Thank you so much

    Its been almost a year since I sent my vita to him, glad he has a longer recording of repairing it! My vita was the 2000

    I always did basic and minor cleaning for my consoles and controllers such as taking the shells off but watching him inspired me to try and start my own cleaning and refurbishing business via these videos he's been there for me in hard times such as when my dad died in 2021 my dad was the main supporter of my hobby turned dream and when he died I all but gave up but I continued watching these videos and it's keeping me going so thanks man for everything.

    There is a bad flaw with The PS Vita 1000 Models they require a Battery to turn on and plugging in a charger with no battery will not turn it on. That is a problem with 1000 models because when the battery drops below a specific charge you get the "Orange Light of Death" which means a Orange Blinking light when you try to charge it and it goes nowhere and does not charge. Sometimes just plugging it to charge will bring it back, but a few times it does no charge and you need to jump start the battery before it can charge. The best way to try and fix it is to try to enter Safe Mode (When charging Press and Hold the R button + PS Button + Power button) and it will force it to try to turn it on and will usually show an empty battery symbol on the screen and then leave it to charge for a while. For me it usually always turn on. If after that it still does not charge then the battery needs replacing. This trick worked on all my PS Vitas that had this issue.
  • I love this channel. I been watching your videos for awhile now. The real question is..... is there a perfect amount of liquid damage? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
  • @pauloa.7609
    Nice! ❤️ Also nice to see that you are recovering. I wish i had but they are too expensive in the portuguese market.
  • I deal with a lot of batteries (repair also electronic stuff). You can kinda "by feel" see if the battery is good, but its better to buy a tester tool that is capable of charging and discharging the battery to assess the health. The best ones will give you a capacity reading (real capacity left) , internal resistance, self discharge rate, etc. W ith that you can determine if a battery is good, normally my standard is 90% or more of the original capacity and low self discharge rate is a good battery, otherwise to the special recycle bin.
