it won't charge either?

That's normal with lithium batteries. Leave it plugged on overnight. It needs to get to a fixed amount of charge to boot.
Have patience.

I agree just leave it charging... A pal gave me a his old vita that wasn't turned on in months.. Took forever to come on but it did eventually

I thought the power supply option was for when doing data transfers.

Unfortunately it can also well be that it wont come back to life. One of my Vitas had the same problem with the blinking orange light, leaving it plugged on forever and even changing the battery didnt help. Still dont know what the problem is.

The charger is not providing enough charge. Get one with at least 2 amps to wake up the battery. Might work.

I had a hard time recharging my Vita until I found a powerful charger. Those things are picky.

Yup, this setting shouldn't be the reason! The vita is quite picky with chargers and cables and when it flashes orange it cannot be turned on for a while. So just try a few combinations of chargers and cables and leave it for 30+ minutes with each. Should be fine :-)

I had the same issue. Vitas are as picky as PS4 controllers in my experience when it comes to chargers. I resolved the issue by using a Samsung phone USB charger like the one in this pic.

For my DualShock 4 to charge, I use the DS3 Official Charger. Really handy.

Never managed to charge ps3 or ps4 controllers with anything but the consoles themselves...

Thanks to Sony's proprietary bs that's what I too though, but you can charge it via PC, PS4, or the official charger.

Makes me wonder if DS5 also has this limitation, too.
