[OPEN] Vita Touch screen not working.

Post by th0rtheg0d »

I have been looking everything online and I cant find a fix for my issue. My Vitas touch screen has stopped working but not all the time. (No there is nothing on the screen its clean and everything) When i first turn on my Vita and i go to swipe the lock screen it wont read my fingers. i can turn the volume up and down and hold the power button and turn it off. Its not frozen. I have even went into safe mode and "Restored" everything and sometimes if i keep restoring it will eventually let the touch screen work again and it will work for as long as i play just fine, but as soon as i let it go back to sleep and turn it back on it stops working again. I have even updated to 3.52 (latest release) and it still gives me an issue. does anyone have a possible solution?

I also called Sony and they want me to send in the vita and pay them $120!!!!! to fix it.... I would rather buy a used vita at gamestop or something before i waste that kind of money.

I don't have a warranty anymore. It ran out, and I wouldn't know how to go about replacing the screen myself. This seems more like a software bug than the hardware. Ill definitely keep that in mind though.

Yup it's about 35$ on aliexpress and while you're at it you could spend another 20 for a new back touch panel and get them.both in blue and make yourself a blue vita, a color that never left japan :)
