Because it* doesn't recognise the "usual" usb as a valid power source, and begins to disperse energy.

*I'm not an engineer and I can't quite tell, but I suppose there's, like in any laptop, a power management system. So "it" is that, whatever they used (and made so).

I'm using the round barrel to charge and the mini-usb to plug it into my laptop. The other tip (it's a Y-shaped cable) is an usb and can be plugged either in the laptop or in any charger.



p.s. WILLELMSTADT is how my iPod Touch T9 completes any will. Hilarious. That's the same principle, incidentally: bad programming!
