Battery drainage while off!? what the? - PSP-Forum.com

Ken-f · 04-24-2006, 07:30 AM

Hello there,
I have a psp v1.5 and for some reason it just drains the battery while it is switched off. This morning at 7.30 it was 100% went out, came back at 4 and now it is 69%! Why is this happening? My other psp v2.5 stays fully charged for HOURS! I have tested the batteries and i am sure its not the batteries itself. I'm guessing something to do with the motherboards coz when i switched them, it only happens with the v1.5

Thanks in advance.

How are you turning it off? Holding the off for 3 secs or just a quick press?

Sounds like the old firmware has a bug when in standby mode. Just make sure you fully switch off before you leave it

Yea, i turn it off by holding it for 3 seconds. The only way i can stop it is by pulling the battery after using it.

The weird thing is, i was playing ridge racer for about 30 mins. and it didnt lose any charge...weird.

It did lose charge. The battery level meter just isn't very accurate.

Hmmm....after a few hours it was about 60% full. Then the next morining. it was 30%. I dont think its the battery indicator, coz i tried it in another psp which was working fine. Do you think if i upgrade to 2.00 then downgrade to 1.50 itll work?
