Re: G9X USB charging is not working

I just got the official Canon USB cable in the mail. Be sure you're using the official Canon one:

I tried charging the G9X with my iPhone wall charger and a USB port on my iMac keyboard. Neither one worked. I wouldn't expect the iMac keyboard to be able to supply enough power. I would *think* that plugging directly into my Macbook Pro or iMac USB port directly would work fine.

I bought the cable solely for my car and had just bought this USB charger and it works great to charge both the camera and my iPhone 6S.

You should see an orange blinking light come on next to the screen when the power is off and an orange battery icon with a lightning bolt on it when the camera is powered on.
