Thanks for everyone's responses. I'm sure I came off as a jerk, but I frustrates me so. I have tried multiple wall plugs, mixed with multiple cables and it turns on with all of them. Good idea with the PS3 controller. I know those things require a data line (I can't even imagine why), but none of my chargers will charge it. My computers all have live USB ports whether the computer is on or not and I can't use those either. I plug it into my computer when it's on. I have a wall surge protector with USB ports and those plugs do the same thing. I hate to say it, but I'm wondering if the problem is that I have the wall plugs plugged into the wall surge protector. That's how I charge everything else. Perhaps the Aura One doesn't like it. I'm trying it in a regular outlet to see if that makes a difference. On a side note, I charged it to 100% earlier this morning and now the battery is at 31% after sitting all day. I've seen this before so I'm not worried about that. I'll update after it's charged. The answer could be as simple as "don't plug it into a surge protector"... for what ever reason.

*Update*

So I plugged it in at 31% and it turned on around 84%. I guess the surge protector isn't the problem.
