You would also want to check the polarity of your Charger Cable, to make sure you connect the correct wire to the correct part of the plug.įor future reference, I would put a diode on the 5v line, as a extra safety measure for both the PSP and the USB enabled device, like a computer. The other end of the charger should also have a 5v and ground wires, usually also Red for 5 v black for ground. If no wireless network exists at your current location, you can still access. In USB cords, Red is usually the 5 volt line, black is ground, and the white and green are data lines, you will not need the data lines. The PSP is a popular portable game console that also can access the Internet. Trying a different PSP battery to see that its not your PSP battery, also clean any contacts with rubbing alcohol. I would double check the wiring in the charge cable, check your PSP battery's level and try other USB ports on what ever computer or device your trying to charge from.
I also assume your charging from the charge port on the bottom right of the PSP. The 1000 series (Fat), 2000 series (old slim), 3000 series (new Slim) or the PSP Go varies in design. I am assuming from your post you have a 1001 or 1000 series PSP.
