I figured mine was pretty drained from the factory to where it required 2 reboots just to get it rolling...Unless it was doing some sort of database work.
I'm just not sure, I've also read that Sony does not recommend using the PSP adapter. Just because it fits doesn't mean it's right. I've fried a Nokia phone doing that once.
Well I suppose that precaution is there because of the fact of Windows Vista's default settings. I use Windows XP and usually charge on my desktop so suspending/hibernating isn't a big deal.
