According to this article, when investigating the reason why the PSP suddenly exploded and flames up, it seems that there is a possibility that the charger that charged the PSP is the cause.

The problematic charger is a third party purchased later because the boy lost the charger that was attached to the PSP and as a result of charging with the charger, the battery is overcharged It is said that the possibility of explosion is high.

According to the results of this survey, the boy 's mother did not make a lawsuit, and other children revealed the cause of this incident because they do not suffer similar accidents.
