Re: my cowon isn't working

You cannot charge A2 through USB. That's why there's a separate power jack. In fact you consume battery when USB is hooked up to your pc. You'll have to get a new charger that connects to the power jack. Make sure it doesn't exceed 5.0 VDC, apparently A2 has no overvoltage protection. Ebay has OEM chargers for A2 that sells for about 10 bucks.

As I said, USB will not charge A2. Get an AC charger.
Note: When A2 is connected through USB the light is amber (orange), not red. Light turns red only during charging from AC adapter.
