I've noticed that whenevr my PSP connects to the internet while charging it stops charging, why is this, surely the already power hungry WLAN would benefit from being able to have an external source of power so why stop it? (I have a PSP fat though so it might have been changed on Slim ones?)
Probably because it would cause too much strain on the battery. Having it charged up and charged down at the same time and at similar rates.. couldn't be good for battery life. But that's just a hypothesis, I'm not sure the exact reason. Though I do agree that it's quite annoying.

Judging by the way I have been playing, you cannot charge while youre using WLAN with the PSP, but it will never run out of battery, if yknow what im saying.

Yes, your psp only charges when offline. The designer cut this out to save time so that they could get the PSP on the market as soon as possible. With a PSP Slim, you can charge it while onlne.

IMO that is the best reason to upgrade to a slim then :?
It may not work online but if u take out the battery and plug in ur charger and then turn it on your psp will take the power directly out of the outlet allowing u to play a limitless amount of time online:)

i used a homebrew app called pspdisp. i go on a wireless network on it. it charges while on a wireless network. it cant be hardware. it is probably the firmware preventing it from charging.
i think this will solve that problem....the light will be orange while you are playing online, but not really sure if its charging... i just discovered this when i was messing up with the recovery mode on PSP, but first you must have a custom firmware that has a recovery mode....(how to go to recovery mode?? shut your PSP down by holding the power switch in about 5 second? and turn it back on while holding R button) then you will be in recovery mode...look for the Text CPU Speed, then click X on it and change Speed in XMB to 333 instead of default, same as the Speed in UMD/ISO, you also have to change it to 333..... and that's it your PSP will now charge (i Guess) while online...
