please note that I have not taken part in any illegal stuff and have never opened the battery, which it says SHOULD NOT BE DONE. anyway, lets get to it, i was downloading driver (ps1) to my psp through my wifi connection which was taking hours and my battery was running low, so i left it in charge and went to eat (30min) after i came back upstairs i saw a red burning thing through the battery compartment, so i switched the charger off (wise) and took out the battery (wiser). the label below the battery was covered in black sticky stuff. what do i do

Sounds like your battery overheated. I am pretty sure you would just have to replace it. However if the connecter that connects it to the PSP is messed up, then you need a new psp.

You can't go online while charging....ChiddaPotta

You actually can with the PSP slim and PSP-3000. It's just the PSP-1000 that can't go online while charging.
