Because microwave ovens use a lot of electrical power, manufacturers don't make them in a portable (battery powered) version. A battery that would run an average microwave for more than a few minutes would approach the size of a small car battery. And it would be heavy. And it would add a ton to the cost of the unit. And more for the charger. Is there a more direct approach? Consider getting an inverter to run a microwave off a car battery if portability is a must. Inverters convert the (approximately) 12 volts DC of the auto electrical system to 115 volts AC similar to what is available at a wall outlet in the home. (If you want to use a whole other battery other than the one in your car, that will work, but you'll need a charger, won't you?) Be sure to get an inverter that provides sufficient wattage. Check the microwave identification sticker for power and fasten your seatbelt 'cause inverters in that power range cost as much as the average microwave. Do a bit of math. It really isn't at all difficult. Volts times amps equals watts. And don't use the auto electrical system to power the inverter up through the cigarette lighter plug unless you're sure it will be okay. Odds are that the inverter will almost certainly suck a lot more amps than are available at the lighter plug. Lastly, the wise person wouldn't run the inverter with the engine off unless a jump start is quickly and conveniently available. Be smart and be safe. Good luck.

How do you unfreeze a LG-Q400?

Usually, on any current cell phone, you can shut off the power of the phone, and then and take the back off, and then take the battery out, and then blow on the battery. That usually takes off all of the dust from the battery. After blowing on the battery, place it back in the phone, put the back on the phone, and then turn the phone back on. That usually works.....it works on my chocolate touch so good luck!

Why does your psp cut off?

It depends on the conditions of the shut off, but it is generally related to the battery. If the battery is loose, it will shut off immediately (if the psp is hit or shaken too hard). If the battery has lost its ability to hold a charge, the screen will go grey and display a battery icon with a line through it before shutting off. You can test a loose battery by turning on the psp with the back cover removed, then wiggle the battery slightly and see if it stays on. A test to determine if the problem lies in the battery at all is to plug it in and see if it works longer than it did without. Good luck.
