Actually, I bought several PSP chargers, including an AC adaptor.

Another poster in this forum said they use a AC/USB charger, so either they are not telling the truth, or others haven't been using the correct model...
Here is what they posted at the time;
"I have just finished to charge my 505 with a normal usb cable connected to a wall (usb) power charger. I do agree that a psp is much faster and useful (one can keep on reading when charging)."

So I have people telling me it does work, and people telling me it doesn't work. I don't know any of these people, but I'm sure that they all believe what they are saying. I have no reason to doubt any of them. But I do owe it to myself to find out what works for me.

My teachers believed that there were only 102 elements in the Periodic Table. They believed it and they told me so! It was a fact! They also believed that it was safe to use cyclamates as a sweetener in foods. After some more experimentation, they changed their beliefs. Facts changed. How much fiction has become fact in the past 50 years? (Have you read "Tom Swift and his Picture Telephone?") How many facts have been proven incorrect? Radio without wires? Ridiculous! A man standing on the moon? Absurd! My son taking out the trash without being asked? Never happen!

We have several different electronic products in the house that use an AC wall plug to USB to charge the device, and I've noticed that despite having the same output numbers, some chargers will simply NOT WORK with some devices while other chargers with the same output DO WORK very well. I don't have the electronic education to understand why this happens, I only know that it happens. Generic chargers working fine.

I'd like to find out just what is the correct answer. I don't feel the few dollars that it costs to buy the other chargers to be a burden, so in the name of curiosity and a willingness to experiment, I bought them. I won't purchase every charger ever made, and my curiosity will be satisfied with the ones that I did purchase, along with the ones I already have for other devices, Sony MP3 players as well as other brands of different equipment that have chargers. Either it will work for me, or it won't work for me. In any case, if it DOES work for me, then I have a nice light weight charger for travel use. If it doesn't work for me, then I have a few more pieces of electronic gear to go into the box in the closet to be sold at the next yard sale. No harm. No foul.

Galileo was placed under Papal (not PayPal) arrest for disputing existing facts about the Earth and Sun. Tell me... If I do find an AC-to-USB charger that works, shall I keep it a secrete?
