Topic: Woah Dave Bricked My Vita (Possibly)

Downloaded Duke and Woah Dave just now.
Woah Dave finished installing so I thought I'd try that first, since I'll probably delete it first.
Game starts as normal but doesn't pass the initial screen with the game logo. I backed out and swiped it shut. Tried again. This time the icon moved in to a new page but the animation didn't finish loading up the start page. The circular icon sat in the new page doing nothing. The system was frozen.
Here I tried to power off, after pressing the red power off button the 'timer' animation started as normal, then that too froze.
All buttons now unresponsive. Hard reset (Power + PS + R) doesn't work.
The screen has turned off now, the PS button still illuminated blue.
I removed and reinserted the game card That was in and the LED flashed as normal, so the system is doing something. I've removed the game card and the memory card just in case.
It's on a full charge, so I'll wait a few days for it to lose all power and see what happens.

Bugger!

I've had something like this happen before. When the battery drained for me, it rebooted fine, so don't panic too much. The good thing is that the Vita's battery life is so bad, you'll only have to wait a few hours to find out!

Let us know how you get on. :

I will do Sammy.
Hopefully the WiFi radio is still active. I usually turn it off before I suspend the system, that way the battery lasts a fair while.
Annoying, I'm trying to beat Sonic Transformed!

Happened to me before too. I think I was able to get it to reset by holding the power button for a really long time (like 45 seconds or something weird). Just don't take your memory card out or it becomes corrupted... I learned that the hard way.

How did you get on, Kal?

She lives!

Not tried all games yet, but memory card seems unaffected too.

And Woah Dave is actually pretty good!

Phew! Yeah, I was playing Woah Dave last night - it's a fine little time waster.
