Thanks Patricia,
I had already read your interesting thread, I only thought it did not apply to my case because it seems that my reader does not freeze but has battery problems.

I will get a PSP AC charger, the problem is that PSP seems not to be sold in Vietnam (at least there is no mention of it on Sony's Vietnamese site); may be I will be luckier in Cambodia, if not in Thailand but this will be at the beginning of December, on my way back to Europe.

I own a Sony AC charger for a Walldisc, but it's only 3 V 450 milliamp, not enough.

I connected the reader to a different computer and there seems to be a slight difference, I am now able to see the memory cards and the internal memory as removable discs, and it did not happen on the previous PC.

I tried also to use the AC/USB adapter I use with my Cybook but it doesn't seem to work properly with the Sony, the red light does not switch on. Let's see what happens, I will leave the reader in charge for a full nigth.
