Hi Jinx, as I know you are in a 240vac country and
using the awful PSP switchmode "power brick", I suggest
replacing the electros in it. The symptom you mentioned
about "it worked once, then started playing up", sounds
like what I experienced from a bad psu brick, to do
with heating and time. It started giving some REALLY
weird faults before I fnally pulled it apart and replaced
the electros. :o)
