that's what happens when your not on custom firmware

yeh sony official firmware is known to spontaneously combust

LMAOOOO>...> my psp only heats up when i play w/ ac adaptor pluged in. That kid must've done some insanely retarded stuff to his psp. Or he kept it on in his pocket-.-

Insanely restarded stuff -> Official Firmware.

Catching it on fire's too FTW. XD

and after this he/she's still gonna get scolded by his/her mom for bring their PSP to school. LMAO

it should've just blew up instantly and blew the kid's legs to pieces=)

*lol*

Teh evilish quotes :D

Maybe he tried to hardmod his battery for Pandora and build a small shortcircuit in the battery....

I always suggest NOT to hardmod the battery....

lmao

This is what happens when kids try to use easy installers to make a Pandora xD (j/k)

It's when kids that know nothing about what they are doing act like they know what they are doing and are feeling cool doing so....

I know a whole forum of such kidz, funny most of the time :D

wow my PSP just exploded!

watch out its some kind of global PSP doomsday

Cosmic radiation, comming from a satelite Sony launched to kill all CFW PSPs :D

hmm...surprised at some of the comments involving hardmodding and official firmware considering that there was hardly any details released about what happened, i.e. whether he was running cfw or whether it was a 3rd party battery.

i'd place my money on being an unofficial battery

LMAO XD i wonder if this will affect the warranty on his psp

well the parents are contacting sony to find out whether there were many other cases like this so i'm guessing they'll be compensated for the injury and distress caused. pity if the kid was running custom firmware and Sony found out, they'd instantly blame the custom firmware thus blackening the idea of cfw.

it's bad enough that people when they go to find out about cfw, they're scared of bricking their PSPs which was caused by a load of media articles...i can see the same happening from this incident

It's not cfw. why? The god dam kids got burn out legend in the umd tray.

ahh....But cfw can't explode batteries.

Oh man, I'm gonna to creat "Battery Flamer", it will be teh best homebrew ever xD

you killed it.

actully sony such a bad compny whant to kill people ??

any way thanks for the topic.

T.C.

I'd guess the NAND chip didn't survive that....

actually where abouts on the PCB is the NAND chip? it could survived the accident...
