Full charge does not give a red light. charged for 2 days (psp charger)
soft reset nothing
Hard Reset Nothing
USB connection Nothing on win7, XP or Vista.

No usb means i cannot flash firmware.


Any advice?
First since it has been off of the charger for a couple of days I would hook it back up. Does the red charging light come on? Do not leave it hooked to the usb while using the PSP charger. Having a charged battery is usually half the battle.
