I usually leave the battery out for around 10 minutes with the USB cable disconnected.
I am using a Dell laptop to charge it. I presume they have not modified the USB standard for power-saving reasons. But, could the laptop be an issue? I have tried different USB ports on the laptop too. Is there a possibility that the battery is deeply discharged into an unrecoverable state? Thanks!

Did you really really make sure to leave the battery out for a long time (and disconnect the USB cable, just to be sure (not that the neo can power itself direct from USB--which is kind of sad)) before trying to charge it? What are you trying to charge it from? Are you sure it is USB-compliant (i.e. provides 100mA at all times)? -Nick ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
