He said it wasn't a gradual heat. It really started heating up. He's always been taught, burn- fire- smoke, you drop and you roll. So, he was in his band class and he dropped and rolled. |

» I'm wondering...
If the PSP1000 battery will do this to the slim?
I mean they didn't say what battery it was or
which system it was, just that it happened.
Need to be careful now, we don't know if it
was a 3rd party battery or not thats just
speculation at this point.
But if this was not a 3rd party battery
we may want to be careful with the
batteries we do put into the slim.
I raise this point because we now have
fat battery dpprs for the slim.
Be careful peeps.

» Hahaha.... Burnout...
That is funny. Too bad about the kid's PSP and his leg, though. Any speculation as to whether he had an OEM or aftermarket battery, or running custom firmware? My understanding is that with the latest custom firmwares, you can't really fully shut down the PSP unless you take out the battery, otherwise it only goes to sleep mode. I could be wrong, but I thought I read that somewhere... I've got the startup animation thing disabled on mine, so I'm not sure if I'm cold booting it or just waking it from sleep mode.

» Yeah, I know
I know sleep mode has been in every firmware. I bought my PSP back in July '05 when they were still shipping with firmware 1.50. What I'm not sure about is if sleep mode is all you get with the last few M33 firmwares (i.e.: I thought I read that the newer firmwares won't allow you to fully shutdown all the way, and instead you only get sleep mode unless you take out the battery.)
I just verified on my 3.90 M33 installation that it does, in fact, fully power down. I skipped a few releases in the middle. Went from 3.40 OE-A to 3.80 M33-4 and now to 3.90 M33. Either I read wrong or the problem has been fixed.
Regardless, I still wonder if the unit this kid had was actually powered off, as he claims, or if it was in sleep mode.

i have phat psp from launch 1.00 fw now running 3.90m33 and i still use the orginal psp battery that came with it already like 3 years old almost and like binary mine only gets slightly warm when i use wifi alot. best thing also is invest in a case for it i recomend logitech case the one that holds 2x games and 2x memory cards even if by some chance it does get that hot it have to burn trough case first.

» Not so uncommon
I had a similar incident with my PSP. I took it to work with 89% battery and was planning on using it during lunch to play some more Monster Hunter Freedom 2 goodness. My leg started to warm up, but I was using the fryer, so I didn't pay attention to it. My leg was really warming up, so I pulled out the PSP to check, and it was at 5% battery. This happened within about 20 minutes and it was seriously hot. It actually started to warp my battery door. Needless to say, I removed the battery and went back to work. When I got home, I charged it and it works fine.

It looks pretty toasty if you watched the video.
If the PSP was indeed off, the battery was likely the cause. Probably one of those cheap chinese knock offs.

» Classic or Slim?
I bet it was a classic. There was a story like this back when PSP first started out. Except it was on somone's night stand.
I find it hard to believe. This story comes out right as Nintendo starts to suffer the first sales drop in over a year.
Remember kiddies dont put your PSP in your pocket or you'll burn Willy.
Ya Im skeptical to say the least. Why else would a story like this hit the news.

But then again you might also come off

I have a classice with original battery
and this hasn't happened to me but
I do also own a slim and I was wanting
to get a bigger battery and the fat

This does cause to be a little alarmed.

» I suspect the PSP was on
he could've easily left in on with the thought he'd turned it off, or the switch could've been acidently flicked. Hopefully Sony will have the decency to give clay another PSP for free (with a new copy Burnout if the game was damaged) and some extra money for nearly killing/seriously injuring one of their consumers.

» Design flaw
I have accidentally turned mine on before.
In my pocket while at work and the battery
power dropped as well. Only reason why
I found out is because I heard the auto
UMD load Starwars BFII and John Williams
orchestra is loud and recognizable.
The power switch is to lite and switches
easily but since I've been carrying it in a
case this hasn't happened again.

» Actually...
If you are not too short or thin then you can easily pull off having a phat PSP in your pocket. I mean, there is not much size difference between the two systems. I carried mine in my pocket while doing heavy labor at the pace of a benny hill episode, bumped into steel girders with the PSP taking the full impact, and slipped and fell on some ice a few times but the Phat PSP survived all of this without more than a scratch or two. In fact, my Phat PSP did not break until the motherboard was scratched whiule replacing a defective part.

» Likely due to human stupidity
The idiot probably tried to hard mod it to Pandora and screwed up. That, and the fact that the PSP was probably only in sleep mode and not shut off, would go along way to explaining what happened. Most people don't know there is a difference between a PSP in sleep mode and a PSP which has been shut off.
I've been carrying around my PSP in my pocket nearly every day for a year and I've never had anything strange happen to it.

It seems possible it was a third part battery, or that this was one of the older batteries from before Sony had to do that massive recall.
As for it being off, I've met more then enough people who thought putting the system to sleep was turning it off.

» To all the morons saying hardmodded pandora
WhyTF would this kid be walking around in school with a hardmodded pandora sitting in his system with a game in it at the same time. A middleschooler with a UMD in the drive says all original Sony stuff to me.
I don't know why we have people pointing at hardmodded pandoras, CFW, or even sleep mode.
I have even less of an idea why people would use the logic "I've carried my PSP in my pants in sleep mode all my life and I have no problems so this kid is probably a moron". That makes so little sense to me that I do not even know how to respond.

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but what you typed was a response!
However nice it is to run the defense of the poor kid burned by his PSP, and how much you want to blame the big, bad electronics giant, we have to look at statistics.
The PSP has been around since 2004, and it is now 2008. In all this time, nobody has had a PSP blow up, catch fire, burn their house down or melt into their leg until this report.
We all know that kids tend to be clumsy, have no concept for the value of a dollar and therefore usually do not appreciate what they have, which often results in mis-use and abuse of expensive electronic equipment.
For instance, my brother had the grand idea of buying my niece a cell phone at the age of 10. Rather than buying a kid rated, durable 2 way radio system, he gets her an expensive cell phone. Well, now 4 cell phones later in a matter of as many months, he is finally seeing the error of his ways.
My point, after all of this prattling on, is that as nobody has been seriously harmed and no reports have come out of ANY similar cases since its public release in 2004, it stands to assume that the problem was more than likely user fault rather than device fault... that is all we are saying!
I feel bad for the kid, nobody wants to hear about someone getting hurt... but my money is on it being his own fault!

From what I remember
Sony had to recall some of their Li-ion batteries a few months back due to overheating..
And i THINK the psp battery is a Li-ion battery...
It sounds like an old one to me.. Ive had my psp and the only time it gets very very hot is when im using wifi.. or Overclocking it AND using wifi AND listening to music..
Its my 2nd psp though, the first one I had, i had to refund it because it stopped charging, and the battery got SUPER hot, as well as the psp charger brick itself.. So in my opinion its probably related to that..
And in middle school.. I doubt the kid was even allowed to have a PSP at school, so of course hes going to tell whoever it was off to keep himself out of trouble, and people telling him "you weren't allowed to have it on anyway". I know if I got burned my any of my electronics at my school (where they're strictly not allowed, but I use them anyway :P), I would plead my case like it was off and I was completely innocent so that I could milk Sony in court for as much as I could. :P Which is probably what this kid is thinking...
Anyway.. end of my ramble lol.
From what I remember
Sony had to recall some of their Li-ion batteries a few months back due to overheating..
And i THINK the psp battery is a Li-ion battery...
It sounds like an old one to me.. Ive had my psp and the only time it gets very very hot is when im using wifi.. or Overclocking it AND using wifi AND listening to music..

As you may see in the picture and video the battery and area were pretty much melted.
PSP Batteries are Nickel Cadmium.
Meltingpoint of Nickel: 1728K (1455 °C, 2651 °F)
Melting point of Cadmium: 594.22 K (321.07 °C, 609.93 °F)
Some batteries are lithium, melting point: 180.5 °C
Now think about that. What are the odds of his psp spontaneously combusting to a temperture of 1455 degrees Celcius. If something that how even came near to him it would litterally burn through his skin, bone, flesh, etc.
My View point is that it did not spontaneously combust in his pocket and leave a tiny burn in his pants.

Just To add onto that. If something to that extent of heat came close to a PSP, it would turn into a puddle of goo.

PSP Batteries are Lithium Ion, NOT Nickel Cadmium, go look at your own psp battery.
the melting point of lithium doesn't matter either because it is flammable thats why those laptop batteries blow up too remember those, yeah the recall notices a while back.

» maybe it was just that psp
i always leave my psp in my pocket, never had it heat up to a point where I can't touch it though. i have both slim and phat one, charge it almost whenever at home, well, always good to be careful though for the first sign of anything strange.
