Ok well here's whats happening, I plug the ac adapter into psp (off) with battery in and the amber light just flickers. Doesn't seem to charge.

If I run the psp with battery and ac inserted: under battery information it says Power Source: External
(Indicating its not recognizing the battery?!)

If I run the psp with just the battery it shows up normally showing a charge level and time left fine.
(Now it does recognize the battery!)

If I run the psp with just the ac adapter it works fine too.

Tried with 2, count em, 2 different batteries and 2, count em, 2 different chargers. So it looks to be a problem with the psp, I guess?

So any fixes, similar experiences or am I SOL? Damnit, I never dropped the psp or attempted to hack it other than the safe 6.20TN.

Also, I have reset to factory settings, cleaned contacts and tried rebooting.

EDIT - @#$@ tried charging via usb, amber lit up leading me to believe it was charging, but it didn't charge at all. So the psp's power supply is screwed or somethin?
