I'll go thru the same charging process using the supplied TP2 cable with various USB ports on my confuser and see if that makes any difference - will report back.
So far, my 'ultimate' solution' is to just buy a whopper power strip with plenty of separation between plugs. Just looking around my workstation here, I have 13 things plugged in! Cripes, I need my own nuclear reactor...
Thanks guys.
