I have made use of “ptest” (thanks Amir) and have been able to find interesting results…
Test has been performed on the following devices using the SAME battery:
* 2x PSP 2000’s presenting the issue (PSP works like a charm when connected to power supply BUT battery would neither function nor be detected in any way)

* 1x PSP 3000’s not presenting the issue (battery detected and working)

As you can see from above screenshots, in the case of the 2x PSP 2000’s, there is a battery detected and even charging, but communication between battery and device fails to establish. In this case, battery won’t be able to power the PSP. That may confirm a mobo/IC issue… perhaps the “charging IC” as shown on the pic below:

Please let me know your thoughts if any, or if you’ve come across similar experience, comments would be highly appreciated!! :)
