battery not charging

[Anuj Sawani]

I usually leave the battery out for around 10 minutes with the USB cable disconnected. 

I am using a Dell laptop to charge it. I presume they have not modified the USB standard for power-saving reasons. But, could the laptop be an issue? I have tried different USB ports on the laptop too. 

Is there a possibility that the battery is deeply discharged into an unrecoverable state?

Thanks!
Anuj

Did you really really make sure to leave the battery out for a long
time (and disconnect the USB cable, just to be sure (not that the neo
can power itself direct from USB--which is kind of sad)) before trying
to charge it?
What are you trying to charge it from? Are you sure it is
USB-compliant (i.e. provides 100mA at all times)?
