How long did others have to wait for the initial 'out of the box' wake up charge?
Leave it plugged in for a couple of hours and make sure you disable automatic sleep/shut down. If the battery is completely flat, it might take as long just to see the charging light. No extra software installation should be necessary, but do use a main USB port (e.g. one at the back of the PC), not from a hub/keyboard.
Another (better) choice is to use a PSP charger (with round plug). In that case you should see the red charging light immediately.
However, it is pretty unlikely that a newly purchased unit would have a flat battery, so it does look like your device is defective...
