PSPGo Charging Issue

Hello, I've purchased a PSPGo from eBay about a month or two ago, and it was working fine upon arrival, charging via USB and power brick, no problem.

All of a sudden it has decided to stop charging. I've utilized two different power brick sources (regular charger and iPhone usb to wall charger thing), two different cables, multiple different USB ports on my laptop/desktop. All of them will not charge this thing no matter what I do, however, the weird thing is that it will still work in USB mode, and will transfer data with no issue what so ever. It turns on, backlight is fine, plays games, everything is fine...except it will not charge.

Anyone got any suggestions?

 

Buy a new battery, they're about $5 on Dx.com last time I checked. The guides on the internet should help, though it seems it would be quite tough. Dangit that portability also means that batteries won't be AA anymore.

 

I did some more research/fiddling, and I thought I had somehow blown one of the SMD fuses on the board but for whatever reason, I was able to fix this by popping the battery out...and plugging it back in. Hope this helps someone if they have a similar situation. Thank you for the response dc16.
