Thanks for the reply. I was charging (correction: attempting to charge) direct from a power strip, not from a computer.

I will try plugging it in to a different outlet, but fully expect it will simply proceed to a frozen "please charge" screen, as it did before ... and that that will be the bitter end. There's no way I'm sending this back to Germany a 3rd time.
