Are the cables for a PS Vita Charger proprietary to Sony?
Solution 1:
The Vita 1000 series cable is a Sony proprietary cable. Unfortunately Sony only sells replacement of the power brick part of the cable on it's own. They do not seem to sell the cable that connects from the power brick to the system. There are third-party companies that sell the cable on-line (eg, Amazon, NewEgg, GameStop, Walmart) for $5-$20. Try to stick to an establish brand if you can because quality varies. You could also try checking any used video game stores who might have a used cable salvaged from a dead system.
