hope i had provided you with the right solutions. hope your daughter enjoys her games!

buy a pandora battery off the internet. often times people who mod your PSP will use things that aren't the best for modding it.

keeping Lithium ion batteries(found in ur psp) idle for such a long time without charging may discharge them compleatly and even if you try to charge them they will not function. this seems to be a problem with your battries not ur PSP. try to get it replaced from the dealer you bought the PSP from. hope this solves your problem.. :D

Since the PSP uses WiFi, try a different WiFi source and see if that helps.

Does the PSP even connect to the internet through its WiFi?

A Timing Out Connection usually means there is a problem with the settings that connect you to the internet.

if the rating on the movie is something like R. you will have 2 put in a parental code. the default code is 0000. if that is not it and u cant remember what is is then go over to settings scroll down to system settings, then down to Restore Default settings.(then it will be 0000)
then you can scroll down to security settings and turn that option off if u wish. hoped this helped

reflash your firmware

Can you tell me if this only happens when a game is in the UMD drive or does this happen regardless.

i bought a psp from game stop but we just found that when we try to connect to the internet the start up has a code can you help us thank you daniel

Is it a PSP slim?
