Default Charging from non PC USB device caused malfunction?!

Hi everyone,
In order to avoid having to switch on my PC just to charge my recently purchased Nano clone 1.5" screen mpxplayer I tried charging it from the USB port on a Freeview box attached to my TV.
Normally a USB wireless adapter plugs into the port to give Broadband connectivity to the Freeview box and enable surfing on the TV and firmware upgrade support.
After connecting to the Freeview USB port the player started to flash alternately between the switching on sandtimer and the charging battery screen. I felt this wasn't right and so tried charging from the PC as normal.
Now the WinXP PC doesn't recognise the USB devise anymore and the screen keeps flashing on/off on/off with the sandtimer screen gradually getting faster until apparently turning off.
This is going to be really awkward if I can no longer add/remove files from the player or charge it properly.
Please can anyone offer any help with this - I haven't tried upgrading the firmware - so don't know why this fault has developed.
Thanks,
Bazwaldo.
