[tlp]

Is it true that the PSP will overheat if you run devhook and charge at the same time?

Thanks in advance

I'm no expert but as far as I know charging a battery and using it at the same time isn't good.. and may end up overheating the battery (Burning? don't think so).
I mean maybe the battery did overheat but I don't think it had anything to do with devhook, really.

your psp heats up, but i'm having more trouble with a hot memorystick than with a battery

I agree i think this is the case.

just only use the battery that came with your psp. my friend's psp overheated because he bought a battery from game stop.

sounds a bit silly to me. i was playing my psp in the heat wave we had a few days ago, left it out in the sun for about 20min, checked the CPU temperature and it was about 50degrees, still works like a charm.
if u want to heat up ur psp. use the WLAN constantly with the charger cable in. honestly this thing is precision engineered to withstand slightly more than everyday damage. what would be the point of selling something that breaks when your dad sits on it or you leave it on top of the oven?
also i left it in the garage overnight once (no i dont hate my psp) the temp was about 5 or 6 degrees and it worked exactly the same as being hot. they come with a warranty and i dont think they can afford to replace these things for you once a month.

lol thats qiute kool but what i think is just dont take the risk of charging and playing at the same time .

i was running devhook yesterday with the plug in for about 4-5 hours and nothing happened.....

the max temp is 85 C. i doubt using devhook at 333 mhz w/ wifi and charging will bring it above 45

Well if you think your psp is heating up. Turn it off. Put it away or in a cool place and it will be fine. Personaly i usualy keep my psp in my pocket and it gets hot in socal and it does fine. But getting a good case to keep it in is a good idea as well. Shelter it from heat, cold and portects it as well.

This happened to me last night, running DevHook 2.71 on internet browser really heated it up as well as the mem stick. But i DOUBT it would really overheat too cause harm.

I plugged the AC adapter full day while playing a game in devhook (played like 6 hours...yes, i don't close it even i'm eating)...no overheating or melting. (222Mhz, with PGP on, sony battery)

85C!? That's a very hot battery. Mine has gotten hot but I've never checked my high. On a side note, if Sony could put a thermometer on the inside of your PSP then why can't we have one on the outside? This is a small feature bt it would be cool to say, "Man it's cold, let me get my PSP and check what the temp is."
