I paid a lot for an international charger, but you should be able to pick one up cheaply in the US. Good luck. Neil

You can not mains charge via the usb other than by connection to an active computer.
Right. I'm thinking it may have been just coincidence as it seems to be working fine now.....will keep watching it.

Thanks Guys!
