Hmm. I have my 'pad set to spin down the HD after 15 minutes even in AC 
mode. Perhaps that has something to do with it, but I _promise_ all of 
you it _is_ charging on this adaptor.

Perhaps someone would like to try an experiment - with a run down 
battery, shut the cover and leave it on overnight. Mine charges in this 
condition all the time.
