I have one of the very small, very slim 2GB 1.5in MPX players. The firmware version states: 2005/03/15 3.5.35 2006/03/31 KTT688_V4. It has a UK mains charger.

Either I am having charging problems similar to many other people who have come to this site, or it is just taking a very long time.

I did not realise originally the main power switch had to be ON to charge the battery. After I did, I left it charging overnight. The next morning, the green light on the charger was off and the battery appeared to be charged.

The next time, I left it charging for hours and the battery charge level was unchanged afterwards. What is supposed to happen when you connect the charger and switch it on?

When I connect mine to the charger it shows "connected" and the battery charge animation happens, even when no power is applied. When I switch on power to the charger, the light goes green, but if I wiggle the USB connector I note that the charger LED can also go yellow and red. How do I know when charging is actualy happening and when it is complete? How long should charging take?
