Postby gibberoids on Wed Apr 08, 2009 11:34 pm

I'd be willing to bet that it DOES charge through USB even on UK computers. It only has like 3 bars of battery life indication so it takes a while to make a difference. I think someone said it could take over 3 hours for a full charge (I haven't timed it, but it doesnt charge exceptionally fast). Worse case scenario, you may have to buy a Euro to US wall outlet adaptor to use the charging adaptor, but IU'd be shocked if the USB isn't charging it.

They charge fine from the USB cable and it would only show the Charging icon if you plug it into your computer then click `Safely Remove Hardware' from the system tray. If should then stop read/write mode and switch to charge mode.

I dont even bother with that though and just leave it plugged into the Laptop for a few hours and your good to go again. I have only seen my Dingoo at 3 bars once. Although I still get a full 6 hours use out of it.

I use this to charge mine. Show a battery on the display when charging. Takes a couple of hours. This is a dual USB as I use it to charge my Sony Walkman at the same time. Saves having the computer on all the time. You can get single USB one for around £2.80 at other places.
