Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

On the off-chance, I booted up Windows and gave mfgtool a try. It looks like the device appears and disappears from the USB bus more or less at random (this is very obvious in Windows because of the chime as devices appear and disappear). When the device is present, mfgtool will connect and I can download a u-boot image into it.

However, I don't believe that it's starting correctly afterwards --- the diag image is supposed to make a USB drive show up, right? But it's hard to tell because it drops off the bus again shortly afterwards.

So, yes, let's leave it to charge for a while. I have had it on for about six hours in several bursts but a much longer charge won't do any harm and, as you say, may do some good.
