Before we start, my PSP is from 2004. Very Oldish.

So, I was going to Columbia for a hockey game and decided to take my PSP with me to listen to music. Well, We had this car charger for many different things with many different adapters, and so I plugged it in. Thing is though, I didn't know the correct voltage. So I flipped through all the different voltages not keeping it on one for more than 30s hoping one would turn on the little red "Charging" light, but none ever did. That's the last I had thought about it. Last night though, I tried to charge it using my Sony charger, but the light never lit. I though it could have been short circuiting, but the battery still had charge and I had used it for the past two days.
Is there any other solutions besides paying $50 to send it to Sony not even knowing if they can fix it?

Breaking the post barrier.

Hey, Shouldn't Ethan be here by now?

Maybe your little red light is ded and it still charges?

I was thinking exactly this.

If you plug it in and go look in the battery settings, it should say if it's charging or not.
If it's not, you may indeed need to send it in, sorry :(

It might have burned out.

If it isn't charging, wouldn't you just need to get a new battery? Or am I thinking about this all wrong?

Aren't American voltages 120V?
Over here we have 230V.
I can't see it being anything different than 120V.

No, his battery appears to be fine, find out if one of your friends has a PSP and see if the battery charges in their PSP.

Maybe, IF I can find a friend in my neighborhood that does.

"Output: DC 5V"

That's the output from the adapter itself.

And yes  Ethan, America runs on 120V.
