Unless you have a flash dump and a flasher to reprogram the internal memory you are the owner of a very fancy paper weight (I'd you have the same issue as the OP.

sure XD (I replaced the mobo)
If your Vita is bricked because of software, you can't do anything. (I think emmc restore works, but only if you dumped it before you bricked it AND if you can solder with a microscope to some pins (I can't and maybe never will be able to...))

I'm not sure that the 3G and wifi boards are interchangable like that, definitely look it up before buying one.
I already bought my goddamn mobo for the psvita and it works again and is now on 3.65 Enso <3, sadly it wasn't a 3G mobo because my mother thought I wanted the WiFi one XD (not a big deal because SD2Vita is just fine...)
btw a 3g mobo would work in a wifi psvita, the only thing you have to consider is the back of the psvita....

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
