Steve, I'm either crazy or loosing my mind. I was sure that the FR was charging with the iGO and the A32 (Rev 1, subscript T) tip. I went to by another tip and got a A32 (Rev 2, subscript E) and while the FR recognized a connection (the usb symbol showed) it did not charge. I retired the other tip and same thing - usb symbol but no charge. I checked battery status with apm and it reported "off line" when the iGO was connected.
Which tip are you using? Did I blow something? The USB charge and wall charger both work, so I'm questioning now whether I ever really saw my FR charging, maybe just saw the usb icon and assumed it was.
