Do I take this as a suggestion that a USB charger will work to charge the PE, as a trickle charge? If so, is that safe?

I know someone whose new PE does not appear to be charging with the normal adapter, and it would be good to be able to try an alternate method to diagnose what the problem is - the charger, or something else.

Also, if that is an option, would the led turn green immediately when starting to charge, or would there be a delay? So far it's been flashing red despite having the charger attached.

Thanks.
