Freerunner won't charge, and won't start anymore due to out of power

[Warren Baird]

I've had better luck booting with the wall charger - I think it generates
slightly more current than most usb ports.   You might want to try that ---
if that fails, then I think a replacement battery might be your only option.

G'luck
