Hi Sharon, Using the USB certainly works for me but I don't like being beaten by this kind of thing. After all, the unit has charged fine for all this time with the external charger.

I do get that tone which means moving from charging to not charging! Haven't tried charging with the usb.

I had wondered if it might be a failing power supply or the cable from the supply to the unit but it is unlikely as, when I leave it entirely untouched, it still flips from charging to not charging (as heard from the musical tones) randomly. I had thought it might be the cable as they are solid core cables and, therefore, easy to fracture when used a lot, but am less sure of this possibility now.

Had they opted for the proper USB/AC charger, such as Humanware have done with their Victor Readers, this problem wouldn't have arisen. -----Original Message----- From: peter wilkins Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2019 12:27 PM To: Plextalk Discussion Subject: [Plextalk] CHARGING PLEXTALK POCKETS ?I have two Plextalk Pocket PTP1 units and a Linio. All three units have developed the same fault over time, and that is that they will not charge using the mains adaptor. There is definitely power going to the units, but they will not charge. Because of this I have now started to charge these units via a USB connection, either to a computer or listening device which has a USB charging facility, and everything is working fine. Has anyone else had this problem? It has been a concern of mine for some time, especially as it affects all three units, but at least I have found a way round it. All my units are now fully charged, and using the USB facility seems to be much more reliable than using the mains. Keep well.
