If you’re getting error C1-2741-4 on your PlayStation Vita, follow the troubleshooting instructions listed in this article to fix it. We’ll also explain you what’s the root-cause for this error code.
Fixing error C1-2741-4: Memory card or PS Vita card error
First things first, restart the console. Sometimes this simple action may fix the problem allowing you resume your gaming session within minutes.
This error is often triggered by memory card issues. So, turn off your device again and this time try to remove and then reinsert the card. Also, if it’s possible, blow out the slot using compressed air to make sure there are no dust particles that could interfere with card reading.
⇒ Important! If you remove the memory card while the console/game is still on, this will mess up save data.
If nothing worked, you may have to format your card in Safe Mode. Turn the console off. Now hold down the Power button, PS button and Right Shoulder button for 5 seconds. Press and hold down these three buttons simultaneously until the console boots in Safe Mode. Then select the option Format Memory Card.
If formatting your card didn’t work either, this could mean your memory card is faulty, so you need a new one.
There you go, we hope these suggestions were helpful to you.
⇒ Note: Sony discontinued Vita back in 2019. While this good old console may still carry dear memories for you, maybe it’s time to consider going for an upgrade. As always, discontinued devices and services are more prone to technical problems.
