mrspeacock, not sure if you are still having these problems. It sounds like a power problem to me. You might have to replace the battery [guide|1181] A tougher fix would be that the power fuse has "tripped" here is a link to the PSP repair on that one. It might be similar for the PSP Go http://www.llamma.com/PSP/repair/PSP_fuse_repair.htm Hope this helps and let us know how it is progressing.
