No Skype for PSP-1000 compelling reason to buy new PSP? » Make You Go Hmm — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:01:13 +0000

[…] I’ve been psyched for Skype on the PSP with firmware v3.90 until I learned that it will only work with PSP-2000 systems and not the launch PSP (PSP-1000). Pay attention to the comments of numerous PSP-1000 owners in the comments who feel like they’re getting the shaft. Me? A little bummed, but more disappointed in the PSP cord wrap issue: […]

I don’t quite have THIS particular problem, but my PSP has a semi-major problem.

I use the Mini-USB+power cable to charge it. When I plug it in, the Orange LED light turns on, however, it doesn’t charge. Somebody told me it had to do with the battery thinking it was charged or something, but I’m not sure. They said I had to kill the battery, then plug it in and it should work. How do I do that?

put the cord in then turn it left so that the wire is facing the left way. then it will charge without having to put the wire over the screen.(if u have a carrying case put psp inside, the one that comes with the giga or value pack).

Yes; this problem happens to people a lot, and it is the yellow plug.
I just rest it on a slightly raised edge, like an eraser. Also I use a USB mini-B + charging cable that works every time. I’ve been considering finding out if the obvious docking connection ever had a dock made for it.

But right now my power button has snapped off.
DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF! actually do, it’s fun; however do not remove the original board in the PSP, the connectors will not snap into a new board like the PS1 did, instead un-solder the switch from the connected board and the new board and resolder the working part on, all without disconnecting anything.

That said, I already disconnected mine so now I need to find some way to get it fixed.

Same problem, if you move it around, it will stop charging…
