1237278 2011-10-13 04:53:00 I bought a generic MP3 player (something like this one (www.dealextreme.com)) and a USB charger like this one (www.dealextreme.com).

When I plug the charger into the player, the player screen lights up for a few seconds, then goes out again. There is no indication that the player is being charged via the small battery charging icon on the screen.

I want to be able to charge the player using something other than my PC. What might be going on and how can I fix it?

Thanks and appreciation!
