Success with 505 and non-PC USB charging?
I've a fairly new 505 and had no trouble charging it through the USB port with my laptop.
However I just recently took a no-computer trip and failed to charge the 505 with the USB port using two different USB solutions that I use for other devices:
- a micro-USB power supply used for a Windows Mobile Smartphone that plugs straight into the wall
- a iPod power adaptor with a USB/USB connector (as opposed to the normal USB/iPod dock)
In general this solution has worked well for other USB devices, but the Sony did not seem to take a charge, and indeed seemed to run flat with the power-supply method.
Bringing the reader home and connecting to the computer quickly charged it again though...
