I am sure it will become an issue at some point, but definitely for 1 meter cables..

The fix took ~ 1 minute (note that it was a really good day - clear skys and all), but I did some tests with the unit and took some test shots and videos trying to get the best angle and all.
BTW, here is one of those test videos:

I got mine from this website, it's mainly in Spanish but you can change the language on the left of the page, I paid an extra £15 for the quick shipping and received it 4 days later (I ordered it on the Sunday Morning before the May bank holiday). Its a little bit more expensive than ebay but the ones on there all ship from China and can takes ages to reach you, and you usually get ripped off on the postage costs.

Hope this helps

Playasia.com should ship to anywhere and the price may be better, as are many ebay items.

make sure you clean all the dead skin out of the two terminals each side of the psp usb where the power pins locate.

If you have the Mapthis! map on your PSP in GAME350, put it in GAME150.

Put Kernel on 1.5, and off you go if al went well.

Just try different combinations of kernel, and the map to place it in if my advice doesn't work, but what's above worked for me.
