Yep, as you can tell by the title, I had a misfortunate accident. What the title doesn't say...Well..

 

 

 

I woke up early and talked on IRC for a few minutes...But I got bored. So I grabbed my PSP and started playing some random game. About ten minutes into the game I think about brushing my teeth, so I stumble into the bathroom and grab my toothbrush and sit my PSP down on my toilet seat. After I had finished brushing my teeth, I had long forgotten about my PSP, so I went back to my room and got back on my computer. Of course, I left IRC open, so I went to read what everyone had said after I left. I looked where I had stopped talking, noticed that I had mentioned my PSP, and went back to get it......It was wet. More than a little wet, too. It had completely submerged in the toilet. I quickly scooped it out (by some mericle, no one had used the bathroom) and commenced to drying off the exterior. Then I removed the game, battery, and memory card, and had them wiped off in no time. It is now making its recovery.

 

Well, my PSP still works, but the orange light on it that signals that it is charging won't go off.

 

 

 

The moral of this story? That's for you good folks of tipit to decide. Anywho, I'll be watching this topic for replies, so please discuss. :

 

 

 

UPDATE: THE BATTERY WON'T CHARGE!!!!!1 It won't run off the battery either!! :uhh: :uhh: There goes $300 :cry: :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

ANOTHER UPDATE: The system part of it (not reading from a disk) works fine with the AC adapter plugged in. Still looking for a solution.

 

 

 

 

 

MORE UPDATES: I somehow got my UMDs to work (those are the disks for a PSP) with my AC adapter... I have two games, and the sampler disk that came with my PSP. They all seem to work fine, including the one that got submerged.

 

[hide=Click for battery info]

 

This is the battery that came with my PSP

 

Under battery status it shows:

Charge left : 87%

Hours left : -

Power Source : External

Battery Status : Charge Complete

 

And a second battery a friend gave me:

Charge left : 0%

Hours left : -

Power Source : External

Battery Status : Charge Complete

 

Of course, the charge is NOT complete...[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

GOOD NEWS!

 

I got the PSP to run off my original battery! I just had to wiggle it around A LOT to make it work. \ \ now to get it to charge...

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE

 

I went to Radio Shack, bought a 30$ screwdriver set, the kind with bits and everything...Got home, unscrewed the first two screws, but the bits were too thick for the other two screw holes... -.- Anyways, guess I'm outta luck...

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE Aug 30, 2007 (see this post)

 

OMG OMG OMG OMG IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT FINALLY!

 

I feel like a COMPLETE IDIOT. I forgot to think about 3rd party chargers!

 

On August 24th (yeah, I forgot to post about it, I was so excited!),

 

I got on amazon.com and searched for 'psp charger' and found THIS!

 

I ordered it. It cost my mom (lol) $6.90 + $6.09 shipping, for a total of $12.99 (where it would've normally been a whopping $49 + shipping!?!!)

 

It still hasn't come in yet, but that's to be expected... Anywho, I'll leave an update when(if) it finally comes in the mail.

 

 

 

Also, I started another thread, about my ipod and xbox 360...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE September 3, 2007

 

It works! It actually works! I have to plug in my AC adapter to the charger to charge my battery, but I can use my brother's AC cable to play without using the battery! (he got his PSP stolen :-s )

:lol:

 

That's all I can say

Why would you ever put it on the toilet seat? :oops: There had to be other places.

I had just woken up and was extremely tired :wall: :wall: :uhh:

I did that to my Gameboy when I was 10.

 

 

 

Long story short, I put it on the edge of the tank and it fell right in. Totally fried both the Gameboy and messed Pokemon Red version, which I had gotten for Xmas only a week prior.

 

 

 

After a few months my Red just stopped being able to save data, so ended up losing all my data in the game. I can still play it and start a new game, but I just have to see how far I can get without saving it, 'cause I lose the data the instant I turn the game off.

 

 

 

Yes, that was one of the most traumatic incidents of my childhood, the day I lost my Red version to the evil Toilet :cry: .

Ouch, the same thing happens to my Pokemon Silver version, but I don't remember ever dropping it in a toilet :-k

This reminds me of the time my friend dropped his cell phone in the toilet... :lol:

Thats what happened to my game!(exept I had mine in my backpack and I brought it to school then it overheated and got fried)

:lol: funny stuff. Reminds me of a thread on the WoW forums. I know its more to do with WoW, but it still has to do with droping electronics in the toilet. A nice read!

Lol, why on the tiolet seat?

 

 

 

Anyway, this is more about looking before placin your bottom:

 

I was at a fourth of july party and one of my friends was about to throw me into the pool, and I had my sidekick in my pocket so I sat down and I landed on a piece of cake. The frosting was white and I was wearing both a black shirt and black jeans.

My brother dropped his ipod in the toilet (while he was going)

 

 

 

moral of the story, always put the seat down

It happened to my red version, too! excpet nothing happened to make it do that, it was like since I opened the package.

 

 

 

OT: i think the moral of the story is to not go into the bathroom with electronics. And was the seat up when you put it there?

ROFLMAO :XD:

I dunno, I didn't look. :-s :-w

I did that to pokemon gold, but I left it on my lawn after it rained. I had my level 99 pokemon from blue too. Very sad moment in my childhood...

 

Yes, that was one of the most traumatic incidents of my childhood, the day I lost my Red version to the evil Toilet :cry: .

 

:boohoo:

 

 

 

:XD:

I hate when things land in the toilet -.-

 

 

 

I was washing my hands with a bar of soap when it slips out of my hands landing in the already flushing toilet.

Sucks doesn't it? I've lost 4 18+ cards, 4 purses full of cash and bank cards, 3 phones, an ipod, house keys, expensive sports shoes and a diamond bracelet all up just by leaving things and forgetting about them, told you I have a sucky memory.

 

 

 

I've also lost 2 mobile phones to dropping them in the toilets by accident.

 

 

 

=D> :notalk:

I was texting someone in the bath the other day and then went to put the phone n my picket. Except I wasn't wearing clothes and I was in a bath full of water so it got a little damp ^_^ Oops

Hah, that was epic stuff right there. :lol:

Geez that pretty much sums it up! :lol:

Once, in bed, I was listening to my MP3 player. It only held about 60 songs, but I was fine with it. Well my bed frame at the time had a built-in shelf at the head of the bead about a half fot off of the matress. Usually if I have a glass of water or the like I put it there for the night. Well, after listening to my MP3 player, I turned it off and put it onto my shelf without looking. I heard the [racist term] of it hitting glass and then the ploink of the water in the glass. All I thought to my self was "Idiot". I took it out, it worked well, but after a few weeks I jsut found that it turned off randomly. THen after a few months of turning off randomly it did not turn on. Tried different batters, hooking it up to the computer, nothing worked. So I go into Futureshop, because I had a warranty on it still (I love extended warranties) and get a new one, which had about twice the memory, along with expandable memory. My Brother just got an iPod so I also trade in his old MP3 player for a 512mb card, which was the size of my new MP3 player. So after breaking my crappy, 256mb MP3 player, I get 4x the memory and an MP3 player I like much more. I still have that MP3 player somewhere, even though I do have a iPod.

So you dropped your PSP in the toilet? Wouldnt you hear it splash?

 

 

 

On the other hand, you did say it was the morning, lol.

I'm not even that bad! :shock:

I've dropped my toothbrush in the toilet... I immediately grabbed a pair of rubber gloves and fished it out (the toilet was unused) Threw it in the bin >.<

 

 

 

 

 

There's a mirror on top of the toilet and I leaned it to look and the toothbrush fell out of my mouth :(

Bad news today, I tried to turn it on, and the battery was dead, after being plugged in for a few days... NOEZ!!!!!! THE BATTERY ISN'T CHARGING!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :wall:

 

 

 

UPDATE on this: The system part of it (not reading from a disk) works fine with the AC adapter plugged in. Still looking for a solution.
