Hi all,

My little boy decided to see if my PSP would float yesterday, and dropped it in the bath. My fault for letting him get to it, I know. I mentally accepted the fact it would need to be binned. However, just to be safe, I immediately pulled it out, blasted it with a hair dryer until it appeared dry, and put it in the airing cupboard for 24 hours. Now, although it won't turn on, when I plug it in (ac adaptor, with battery in) the orange charging light comes on.

My question is, is there a glimmer of hope? Or shall I use it as a paperweight?

Thanks...

What does it do when you try starting it without the battery? Chances are high that the console is fried.
