speaking of which, I'd like you guys to do some testing for me: 1. Boot into backupmenu, plug in a powered USB port. Wait 15 seconds for the backlight to go brighter, and reboot the unit. Expected result: Device may not charge when in Maemo and plugged into USB.
2. Boot into backupmenu, plug into usb. Once the backlight becomes brighter, unplg USB and wait for it to get dim again, THEN reboot into maemo. Expected result: Hopefully charging works again. Let me know if it does/doesn't.
