T1 charging

I'm in Australia, and haven't bothered buying the Sony AC charger, having charged my T1 from laptop so far. However, i do have one of those 240 - to USB socket adapters (the kind where you plug the device's own USB lead into)which we use for charging everything except our (old) motorola phones and my (old) iPod shuffle - neither of those devices work on it, but then neither of them work with anything except a computer. When I plugged the T1 into it today, it tried to reset but froze at 'opening book'. Plugged it into laptop, no change. attempts to reset did nothing... well, it flickered but still locked at the 'opening book' screen (with empty status bar). left it sit plugged into laptop for a few hours, came back and still no change. no lights at base. removed the SD card as was just about to attempt the boot from SD recovery option, tried to reset, it reset fine. reinserted SD, reset fine again and has been running fine ever since.

My question is whether it is likely the wall charger at fault, or (possibly) the SD card - and if so, what is the likely interaction? I'd really like to be able to charge without leaving computer on, but have only had the T1 a week, so not keen to fry it
