it was charging when it happened i used a 3rd party charger
Questions:
*Do you use a 3rd party plug?
>If yes what is the amperage and voltage rated at?
*How do you treat your battery(Do you sometimes leave it laying flat dead and etc)?
*A rough estimate of how many times you've charged your battery

Some imes, a generic/cheap USB cable is not rated for the Amperage needed by some devices, so they won't get charged as fast or at all.

0.15a? that doesn't sound good, the stock Vita charger is around 5V 1.5A DC

Please give the "DC" rating, should looking like 5V - 1.5A or something.

0.15a is alright but charged very slow, but the voltage output must not exceed 5v or it will damage the console.
0.15A is in no way "alright" for the Vita if you understand the way charging works and the power consumption in between.

There's a reason the PS-Vita comes with a 1.5A charger and that is to be able to PROPERLY charge the battery.


is it the charger or battery worst case and hopefully not the mobo cause its on 3.60 and its the 3g version
If you keep charging it at such a low amperage it will take a VERY long time and mess with the PS Vita as well.

Are you sure it is 0.15A? (post a picture of the writing stating this)

it still does the orange light thing even on pc but he pc detects it
The battery has to be able to properly charge and hold a stable voltage, when you plug in the charger the power doesn't go straight to charging the battery, it powers things in between, that amount of current is just too low.

On the note of the battery holding stable voltage, it may just be the battery needs replacing.

The Vita will charge at max. 1A. The vita doesn't accept 2A+ chargers and won't charge at all except with those who deliver dynamic A (like good power banks do).
0,5A are normally sufficient for charging the vita but when the device is powered off chances are that the vita won't charge (sometimes it does, sometimes not depends on USB-charger). Take the original charger for charging or find one which delivers 1A-1,5A and if the battery didn't die the Vita should work again without problems.

P.S.: Thats a lot of "charge" words...
