My psp is 5 years old. Now, when i charge it ,it charges fine, but takes 12 hours or more. And when i try to play it while connected to the charger, the charging stops as soon as i switch it on. And when i switch it off, it starts charging again. It is my charger or battery?

Knock it off with the “brick” thing. All you’re doing is just scaring him to death. Topic creator I had the same thing happen to me a week and half ago with my PSP. I was playing around in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and noticed that the areas were getting distorted so I quit the game and put in Smackdown vs Raw 2010. Everything was fine when playing a match in Smackdown 2010 and all of a sudden the screen went all white and psp turned off by itself. my one and only batter that I’ve had since November 2008 it pretty much died on me I think so I ordered a brand new battery off of amazon and should be getting it next week on Monday or in the middle of the week next week and I am hoping the new battery will turn my PSP back on. one thing I can’t stand is when people automatically think a PSP’s got bricked because of the PSP shutting down by itself. its like they never even bother checking out the battery and needing to get a new battery. This whole “brick” thing is getting on my nerves and all these people do is just to scare you to death and make you worry if you should go get a new PSP handheld or something.
