can anyone help? i have had my prs-t1 for a month now and i'm now giving it its second charge. i don't want to charge it via computer, because i heard that higher el. current is better for the battery (computer's usb has normally about 0.5A). so i use a generic 1A usb wall charger (the brand is called Sweex). when plugged in, the reader doesn't indicate charging - the LED is not on, the battery icon doesn't show its charging animation, nothing. the only change, compared to when it's unplugged, is that i cannot lock the reader (screensaver), so i guess it detected the charger in some way.
it's been plugged in for about an hour and the battery icon still hasn't changed its state. does anybody have such an experience?

btw, i agree with you people - making sure that only a "sony authorised" charger complies with your device is quite evil. it's really counterproductive and should be prohibited, because it ruins the whole idea of unified usb charging.
