Troubleshooting. Won't turn on.

[jsteinhauer]

PSVita two months old. Has been connected to PS4 continually when not in use, so I know it's fully charged. PS button glows blue. But it won't power up. When I connect to PS4, it says "device not recognized". Is it dead? I suspect some ******* (I know which one) touched the electronics when they were instructed never to do so. When you touch them this time of year, you give things static electricity shocks, if you don't discharge first. I have fried AVR's in the past in a similar way.

PSN online service request has no ability to select Vita (or PS4). Any advice?

Edit: The bleep above is a big huge A followed by a big huge HOLE!
