This guy did a pretty cool thing to his PSP after the battery exploded
Reddit user tommyboy601 had the bad surprise of having his PSP Slim’s battery explode after leaving it in the device for several years without actually using the PSP.
Apparently the battery plastic case contained the explosion, so the PSP itself wasn’t too damaged.
However, instead of trying to revive the poor thing, or resell it to his local gamestop, tommyboy601 decided to do some cool work of art with the device, and showcase it in a post he entitled “Decided to retire the PSP with some dignity after the device exploded“.
Check the result in his picture below:
Pretty cool, hu? If you’re wondering, the pieces are hold in place with Super Glue.
I just love this comment from one other redditor:
I don’t want to know what you would do with dead pets.
Anyway, as a reminder, if you’re not using an electronic device for a long period of time, remember to take the battery out!

cool and hahaha for the comment
RIP White PSP Slim.
Should’ve told me that about my TI-83 sooner.
Erm… I need to run home…..
erm iwonder wheter the battery could transform into a moab
Rest in peace! (or pieces?)
Why?
Yes I did it, I leave my psp slim about a year too, but it not exploding, it drying, cannot charging and must be throw away, we should take out the battrey if leave it about looong time, I pretty worried for my vita, cannot remove battrey
Or recharge it and let it run from time to time. (once a month or so)
Cool! but and battery burned? the exhibitor is incomplete! :/
Dignity? You ripped it to pieces and put the intestines in a case for everyone to see!
May it rest in pieces…
Place a battery inside this display so the Windows can explode in a better way 😉
at least save the mem caaaaard!
Darth Vader PSP!!! It’s been a while since I had that. Man I wish I could go back to the PSP day’s. I still can’t believe I’ve been thru 7 psps. Thank God the Vita is still tough. But then again, I’ve been super careful with it.
I think the ac power should be hooked up and it should run a continuous psp logo or some sizzle. Maybe turn it into a digital picture frame. Don’t just leave it like that 🙁
I have had the psp 2000 for the past 4+ years and it is still intact and in working order. Only thing i had to replace was the back housing for the Umd drive after i accidentally snapped it off
Wonder if the same thing would happen to a psvita seeing how you cant take the battery out without opening it.
Anyway, as a reminder, if you’re not using an electronic device for a long period of time, remember to take the battery out!
yea, and what about devices with no removable battery Lol
Better go and check my Gameboy colour then :-/
lol way to make everybody paranoid. I had to check my PSPs… and now I’m terrified about every other portable I have, most of which don’t have (easily) removed batteries.
Does this work for 3.15?
I would have buy that cool white starwars darthvader case for 5 maybe 10 bucks
What’s the big deal? People frame stupid stuff all the time. Now if he did an exploded view model similar to this with wire holding everything in place then that would be something to see. Visiting the frame store doesn’t qualify as cool though

Nice idea and from the looks of it well made.
Of course an explosion view would be more astonishing but hey it still nice to look at.
BUT actually nothing for me, the moment I would frame it and look at it, I would get the urge to repair and reassemble it to working condition.
nice
i did a cool thing to ur m0m and then i exploded
