The original firmware charges fine off USB, but takes a long time to fully charge. Apparently is isn't the best thing for the battery, but I don't know the physics/chemistry behind that - it's apparently to do with USB onlt providing a low charging current. But it will work. I travelled around Europe for three weeks without a charger, plugging in at the occasional internet cafe while I was browsing, and got through OK. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get my player to charge from > USB.. ? If there is enough charge to start it up, hold 'REC' as you plug the USB cable in - this will boot the original firmware and start charging.
