Thank you for the input guys. I guess that's the problem.
But right now it's connected to my computer and it has the "Do not disconnect" warning on, but no red light (not charging). When I plugged it in, the light blinked yellow, and then just didn't light up anymore. Is it draining? I didn't use the eject button from the software...

I must say it's kind of annoying and counter-intuitive. I like having my portable devices hooked up to my computer most of the time and I want to know that they're fully charged (much like the iPhone).

It is possible that if the Reader is connected to the computer and the red light is not on (meaning not charging) it could be draining the battery. Sometimes certain usb ports do not supply enough power to charge the Reader. Try a different port. The simplest solution is to purchase a Sony PSP charger. If you live in the U.S., check Game Stop and ask for a used/refurbished PSP Charger as they typically run $7 - $8 USD. The wall chargers also charge the Reader quicker than the usb cable.
