How to Access PSP Vita Secrete Recovery Mode, No Custom Firmware Needed


Hackers created a easily accessible recovery menu for hacked custom firmware for the original psp models, as the official firmware that were released never had that feature. This is because it allowed to many things that it can't do with Sony's limited features and functions in their official firmware, such as playing backups off the memory stick, using the recover menu to power off the psp, without using the flick switch on the right side and allow you to increase the CPU speed. So Sony found out that the recovery menu is a top priority and decided to add the recovery mode officially into their firmware for the psp vita.

Instructions:

1) Power off the psp vita console, this is by holding down the power button for 10 seconds and release.

2) Hold down the 'R' button, the 'Power button' and the 'PS' button, after each other for a couple of seconds.

3) The psp vita will now display a recovery mode and a list of options will be available on screen.

(You can only use the buttons to select the options in the menu, so you can't touch the screen to select them.)

1) Restart the system- This will allow the psp vita to reboot itself.

2) Rebuild database- This will allow the psp vita to restore its files that are damaged from corruption.

3) Format the memory card- This will allow you to wipe everything off your memory card that is inserted into the console.

4) Restore psp vita- This will allow you to reset the psp vita to factory settings.

5) System update- This will allow you to update the firmware version on your psp, this is a handy feature if your psp fail's to power on, you can still update it and fix the problem, if its firmware related.

How To Fix a PSP Vita That Won't Turn On Or Power On


The psp vita is a new handheld gaming console and because of that, it currently has many firmware related faults that Sony is working on to fix in the future updates. One of the most common fault for psp vita owners, like myself, noticed that randomly the console won't power on after you use the console. I have played Wipeout on it today and switched it off, went to continue playing the game, but it failed to power on. I kept on pressing the power on button down, but nothing happened, the screen was black and the power indicator on the home button didn't light up blue. I was about to return the console to my local game shop where i purchased it, as i assumed it was a internal hardware related fault, like the battery pack was faulty, or something wrong with the charger, but i found a solution to fix the problem, that made my psp vita turn back on again that i want to share with you.

Instructions:

1) Remove the game from the psp vita and memory card, if inserted into the system.

2) Hold the power button, which is found on the top of the console for 30 seconds, not letting go of it.

3) This will reset the psp system and allow it to reboot the software on it and refresh its memory.

4) After that, the console's power button will function properly, a quick fix that saved you returning your console to the shop:)

Depending on the firmware/software version it is running, you may see a recovery menu pop up on the screen:

5) The psp will switch on and a recovery menu will pop up on the screen and select 'Restart the psp vita system', using the direction pad and selecting that option by pressing 'X'.

6) Your psp will reboot back to normal on the interface menu and from there, it will power on and off like normal.

How To Remove & Get Tippex Out Of Your Carpet In No Time


Tippex is a correction fluid product that is used to remove spelling errors on paper, the chemicals inside the actual liquid inside that little bottle are very very strong, strong enough to ruin your carpet, if it gets accidentally split onto it. But once it has split onto the carpet, it's done and most of you out there are probably thinking it is irreversible. You have probably attempted to remove it by using water on a cloth and scrubbing it hard into the fibers in the carpet were it is covered with tippex, but that won't work. You will need to use something a little stronger, i would recommend you to use white spirit, it is used usually to remove paint off things and it works magic for removing tippex off things.

Instructions:

1) Locate the area where the tippex has spit onto the carpet, examine the carpet fibers to see which ones are covered in tippex. 

2) Once you are aware on where the tippex has spit onto the carpet, get a old cleaning cloth with rough fibers on it. If you don't have a cloth to spare, you can use an towel, as it's just as good for scrubbing on the carpet because it has a rough texture.

3) Remove the cap from the white spirit bottle and pour a sensible amount of the liquid onto the towel and replace the cap, so it doesn't spill onto other things, if it gets knocked down by accident, as it is really strong and can destroy your furniture, which will remove color off things permanently. Also remember not to pour too much onto the towel, as over doing it can remove the color off your carpet, so you got to be really careful on the quantity you use.

4)Using the towel, where you have poured the white spirit on, scrub it really hard onto the area where there is tippex on the carpet. Keep checking if it is coming off because over scrubbing can remove color from your carpet and make the situation even worse that it is.

Do You Need a TV License For Watching SKY Digital Satellite?


Many are aware, if you want to watch Freeview channels on your television, you will require a TV license to operate the equipment. If you are wanting to know what Freeview actually is, its a non subscription service in the UK, that provides over 40 digital channels through your standard terrestrial aerial. But the question today is, do you need a TV license if you are going to watch channels provided by a Sky digital set top box on your television?

Well the answer is yes, you will still require a TV license because you are still receiving television signals from there transmitters, through the satellite dish mounted on your house. According to the government, they say that if you receive any sort of television signals, whether if its Freeview or Sky, you will still require a license. If you don't buy a TV license and you decide to watch Sky channels on your television, the company will eventually find out you are watching it, by using special detections methods to find out those without holding a license, like using their detector van to pick out certain addresses and you will get a knock on your door about why you are receiving television signals and not paying for them. It's an criminal offensive, it can lead you to become prosecuted, you also high likely to go through a court case and can get fined up to £1000. So after all, unless you don't watch TV at all, paying for a TV license is the wise thing that you can do, currently its costs £145.50 for a colour license, so pay for it, well its certainly better than getting caught and paying a fine that can be up to a £1000, which is much more.
