Try it without the battery in the charger, if it works your battery went bad if it still dosn't then your PSP just randomly broke.

mine likes to turn off within 2 seconds of turning it on, but i think thats probably cos i threw it a couple too many times after dieing in monster hunter... your problem sounds a bit different. Its unlikely the battery is dead already, since mine is still fine, ive used it a ton since i got it too, its also my music player *sob*.

You could try asking a sony helpline... it could take a while, but if anyone knows exactly whats wrong, they should do. If all else fails, do you still have warranty?

Do that. The other day my PSP wouldn't turn on whilst the battery was in so i took it out and played it off of the mains, then i but the battery back in the next day and it worked again.

Take out the battery and put the charger in and turn it on. You can turn on your psp with just the charger in and no battery.

If you can't fix it completely, get it to where it'll turn on for "three minutes" as you say, and take it to GameStop. If you're lucky it will last through the few minutes it takes them to test it, and they'll let you trade it in. Then it's somebody else's problem. :P

Regardless of whether Gamestop "screws people over" or not, that's a pretty crappy thing to do.
