I suggest trying again for a longer time, perhaps 30 minutes. I don't
know that 30 minutes are required, but I do know that when I do this, I
usually forget and don't get back to that project for much longer than
10 minutes.
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.
Might be. I have been suspicious of this sometimes. Do you have a
desktop handy?
Is there a possibility that the battery is deeply discharged into an
unrecoverable state?
Possible, but I've handled well over a dozen batteries by now and have
yet to see one fail this way. Not to say it's impossible.
Where are you located?

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)?
