Re: G9X USB charging is not working

I just got my G9 X and I think I might have figured out a different reason for this charging behavior.

From my tests, it seems that if you use a micro-USB cable that is a charge-only cable, then it'll charge the camera from just about any source. I got an orange light from my MacBook, my PC, and a small phone-style adapter.

If you do a search for "micro usb charge-only" on Amazon, you'll find plenty of these cables.

If you use a full USB cable with data support, you get problems like the flashing green instead of the orange, and/or a data connection to your computer.

Just be careful to remember which cable is which if you carry two!
