I have a Vita Slim that hasn't been used for a while. When I turned it on this happens. Only blinks orange light and never boots.

Yesterday I fixed it by removing the battery and inserting it again and it finally booted (as suggested by people on reddit).

But when I came to use it again this morning after leaving it overnight, it happened again. Blinking orange light and would never boot. Is there any permanent fix to this?

Orange blinking light -on my end- means that the battery is almost depleted and will take some time to get it charged to the point it can turn on my Vita.
I have to leave it charging (some times overnight), to make it work and be able to turn on the Vita. Other times, the battery doesn't charge using the original charging adapter and I have to charge it using one of my computer's USB port.

Most likely, the battery is the problem.
