Yeah...but the CABLE is just wires. The USB port...that's another issue. A newer USB port should handle it. An old port probably only has 500 mA (.5 amps).
that's a new one for me - checking out charger for the 2372!
the port on the mifi - old or new versions - require the higher amps
looking at the last answer you found i wonder if there was a serious problem with the included chargers
btw when i considered the possibility of a faulty port i looked at the mifi closely. i see no way of opening this thing up to get to the port
Well, I was actually talking about the other side of the cable....the charger/computer port...that supplies the 1.0+ amps.
the wall charger that comes with it and is supposed to charge and run the mifi at the same time has no port - wire goes right into the plug
OK. Tibby....do you have a cable that has a normal USB for the computer on one side and a micro-usb connector on the other side that would fit into the mifi? (Computer-> mifi)?
You must have connected one to setup the device, no?

Also, here's another one that talks about it. Good article. Note they had one that worked with "the brick" though.
Why Won’t My MiFi Charge? – @SFoskett – Stephen Foskett, Pack Rat
It implies that you can charge from the laptop.

no go with the usb either - the amber charging light does not come on ...........
Per article above. Drivers are properly installed on the laptop and the USB port on the laptop is enabled in BIOS....yes?
i'm meeting somebody locally on sunday who claims hers is in excellent working condition. will try her charger on mine. would be a real coincidence though that original charger and the one i got off amazon were both bad ..........
i guess in the meanwhile i keep charging my batts out of the unit in the uboc charger i bought ...... that's a real pain though

Install the drivers on the laptop. The drivers talk to the device, tell it to go into charge mode.

this would defeat my purpose though - once you plug the mifi into your computer it loses wifi capabilities and acts like any other usb modem
in my case that means i can't put the mifi in the spot where i get the strongest signal
Didn't know that. Dumb design.
EDIT: Would be interesting to see if it charges though.
