    Contact Sony and have it swapped\reconditioned as if I recally correctly they operate some kind of swapout for faulty psp's, you call them they send you a courier with an envelope and give\send you a replacement.

    Hopefully someone more qualified to answer will contribute, but I do recall a thread in here not so long ago about them offering such a service. If it's a fairly recent purchase, take it back to the vendor and have them sort it out.

    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.

    Make sure its charged up. The PSP discharges over time if it isn't used.

    Even use it from the mains. they usually won't come on immediately after connecting power to it so connect power then try it after 5 minutes. make sure the charging light comes on though.
