PSP Go - Windows doesn't recognize it, and no charging.

The only method to charge my psp go is through external means, since charging it doesnt work and doesnt accept usb charge either. Although Windows does detect the device but says device malfunctioned and doesn't recognize it. I dont think its the os. The charger works and the cable is both data and power.

All of this started when my psp ran out of battery for a long time and turned it on again, the time setting prompt appeared and accidentally let the battery run out of power, since then it doesn't accept any kind of charging.

Ok i fixed it, i tested all the fuses and found a faulty one, its a 2.5 amp fuse marked "T" located close to the charging port. I replaced it and now it charges light up and everything.

Hey! Can you post a link to where I can get the fuse from? I am having a similar issue but for me windows isn't recognising my PSP go nor charging it. The charger works, I replaced the cable and battery but still no luck. I am at my wit's end!

Hi there!

First I would try the easy things first, replacing the battery and see how that goes!

Guide: PSP Go Battery Replacement

If this didn't solved it, then you might want to check the connector and see if there is any dirt in it, clean it if needed.

Also check for damage, if it is damaged then it does need a replacement, but this won't be easy as soldering is required.

Please let us know how it goes!

Didn't work. Nothing changed.

Then I’m afraid you do need to replace the port! First of all, get the motherboard out. The port is soldered in, so you need an hot air station to get it out! Sorry.
