Hacking Should I replace my PS Vita mother board ?

Nightopian · Jun 25, 2018

Hi,
Yesterday, after a looong time in the drawer, I took the Vita out again.
I restored it to OFW 3.60 successfully. Then I installed henkaku ( but not ENSO )
After that, I tried to run ENSO 3.68 updater ( I followed the guide completely ), it said that you need to uninstalled ENSO first ( althought there was no ENSO )
So I download the ENSO.vpk and from the bubble, I choose uninstall ENSO.
After uninstalling ENSO, the system ask for a restart.
And then it never wake up again.
I tried press the power button 30s then 5s, booting into safe mode by home+R1+power, plus to PC, ...but nothing work.
The battery is nearly full.
If I plug the charger in, the home button turn orange constantly, it didn't even flash once I press the power button.
Can anyone here help ? Is there anyway I can saved my Vita ?
Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad English.

Hi..
There's no ENSO for 3.68 yet and probably won't since they parched the exploit after 3.65
That ENSO updater is, for sure, is fake and it might bricked your Vita !
The Henkaku updater will be released in 1 July ( not ENSO ) and it will support both 3.67 and 3.68 ..
Well, haven't been through this before so I hope someone else will answer you properly..

I was following this guide:
http://vita.cfw.guide/more/updating-to-henkaku-enso-3.65/
Seem legit.

This I followed till this very step

Launch the HENkaku Ensō 3.65 Update application ( I'm sorry, I was mistaken it was 3.68)
Follow the on-screen instructions

But the on-screen instructions ask me to uninstall enso first althought there is no enso in my system.
Then I install enso.vpk, launch the bubbles, and choose uninstall ( althouth there is no enso to uninstall )
After everything is done, it asked me to restart the Vita, and that is the last time I saw my Vita alive.

have you tried to turn it on without the memory card? if that doesnt work. then your best bet is to replace the motherboard.

sorry dude

You could also try and let the vita battery drain completely before charging it back up. Sometimes it might help, but I all honesty Flame is right. Replacing the motherboard is your best bet.

I am waiting and hope it will fix the problem. Thank for your reply.

Yep, from your description it's a bug in the Enso uninstaller that affects some consoles at random (possibly among the ones on which 3.60 was reinstalled afterwards? It matches my experience), I had asked Yifan if she knew about it, and to the best of henkaku irc's knowledge I was the first to have reported it

Can you save your Vita or have to replace the mainboard ?

Not that I know of (without a full nand backup), so I put back on the original 3.65 one instead of the now non-working 3.60 one)
