Answer Gday Miguel,
You seem to not be having any luck with you PSP recently.
With both of them I would firstly try and reset them. Turn off your PSP, Press and hold the R button, and power on at the same time.
The one that does not power on I would try and power on with the battery changer plugged in or even with the charger plugged in and no battery as you might have a battery problem. (Since you have 2 you can swap the batteries around) You don't have any custom firmware/software loaded on your machine that might have bricked it? Again resetting and ruling out bad battery and bad software it a hardware issue.
The fuzzy screen on I would try updating software to the Sony web site. Providing again you have not put any custom firmware/software on it and it still has a problem then unfortunately it a hardware problem. (Send away to Sony to fix)
