It's very dangerous to do this, you risk overloading the entire system. I wouldn't even recommend doing this if I knew there was a chance it could work.

I had the same problem...but I only left it on the shelf for about a week (maybe 1.5), after that it wouldn't charge from USB and I couldn't find the charger, so I bought a PSP one. That sorted it.
Now, my wifi is completely dead though (previously, it would connect for 10 seconds or so, then basically stop. It does pee me off - I really wanted to watch videos on this device (off of my network)...and surf the net.

The Wifi on mine is a bitch, it loves to not stay connected for long. >.>
I even tried the Update Wifi Drivers.PND from the Repo, and the PND encountered some type of problem -_-

Yeah I tried that too, to no avail :-(
I even tried re-flashing the firmware last night (I was still using a beta version of zaxxon) - again, nothing. Nada. Doesn't even show the list of Access Points anymore. Makes me wonder if any other part of the device is going to die.
Totally depressing.
I also recieved an iControlPad...can't get that working either! Though that could be for any number of reasons (shitty bluetooth stick, linux just being useless - or of course me being thick as pig-shit). The funny thing is that I got an iControlPad because I couldn't simply copy over a Pandora executable binary for testing the game I'm working on and I wanted to be able to test it with a similar pad.
In fact I got so annoyed with my Pandora and the iControlPad last night, I almost...almost...threw them both away and vowed to never have anything to do with them again...I was very frustrated.
I need a break.
Care to give us any dmesg output after enabling WiFI?

ummm, sdio? Surely it's a hardware fault though because that was the same error I was getting before I reflashed.
If it's any help, I get the same error when plugging in the little usb wifi stick that Craig sent me.
EDIT: Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

My 1GHz Pandora worked well for two weeks, but now it won't turn on. I confirmed that the Pandora and PSP chargers are both working on my PSP, and also with a voltmeter on the Pandora's battery contacts. 5.0V for the PSP charger, 4.8V for Pandora. The Pandora battery reads 4.25V.
The Pandora does not respond at all: no screen, no LEDs. I tried it with and without the SD card. I tried it with and without each charger connected. I tried it with and without the battery (i.e. w/o battery, but with charger.)
I have tried to charge it overnight with each charger. I also tried to charge it with the power switch to the left, and again with the switch in the middle.
Any suggestions?

Is this as opposed to my problem?
I really had to stop myself from replying to ED's recent post with something along the lines of "well, at least you can connect to it over wifi"
