Welcome to the site :)

Sounds like you have a USB problem, The only way I charge my

C500 is with my mpx200 USB cable. I've never taken the C500

cable out of the box.

The cable is a standard mini 5pin USB connector.

...get yourself a 5-port usb hub - they are cheap and useful! take one with external power, so you'll definitly be able to charge your phone by usb. like mister warner i also never use my power plug with the c500 it is boxed and had never been out of the box...

cheers, lutz

I just use the USB-cable, but I've heard stories from others that the phone won't charge properly without the ActiveSync software installed. As I installed mine straight away, I never had that problem.

I think this might be the problem.

Activsync and the charge cycle are two seperate components, if this was the case then you would not be able to charge the phone from the mains supply :)

All the phone uses to charge is the 5v supply from the PC
