Psp freezing and shutting down!

FRANK2430 · 09-01-2009, 09:17 PM

Hi i'm new here.. And i need help.. Hope someone can help me..
Well i got a psp from ebay.. The psp turns and boots normal but after a few minutes it freezes and then shuts off.. Some times it can get into the game and after a few minutes on the game it just freezes and shuts down.. Now i have seen the recovery menu options i have tried and no recovery menu for me it just boots normal to the main menu.. So i dont know what to do.. When i got it from ebay the psp wont even boot.. It would stay on for a milisecond and then shut off.. I found the problem in the ac plug.. Adjust it and work.. Now if i put the battery in it would boot.. But if i just plug the ac adapter and no battery it would turn on for 2 seconds and then shuts off no boot either.. So i'm lost here any help would be great

The battery is necessary for it to boot properly.

Well with the battery in it it boots.. But after a few seconds on the menu it freezes and then shuts off.. Sometimes i can get into the game but it freezes too and shuts off.. Any ideas

Did you buy it under "as-is" conditions from ebay? If not you can contest it and possibly get your money back.

Personally I don't advise buying something like that online unless it is is BRAND NEW.

Well if you bought it as-is then you're screwed as there is nothing you can do but try to give it to a repair shop.
