[Q] Charger Issues

---

Why is nook's charger so special?

I cannot use a regular micro USB cable or the original nook color cable with a with a 2.0 or 2.1 mA USB charger (e.g. iPad or other OEM high mA chargers). The stock firmware (tried with 1.01, 1.1 and 1.2) says not charging. Even regular usb cable to the computer doesn't charge the device. The only combo is original nook color cable with the original nook color charger (apparently 1.9 mA).

However when I boot into CM7 through my microsd card, I can use any combo of usb cable and charger to charge the device.

Is there a software block that only lets the original cable with the original charger? If so, is there a way to circumvent this without having to boot into CM7? I just hate to carry around another set of usb charger and usb cable in addition to the one that I have.

have you gotten it to boot yet on the stock rom with a non-nook micro-b usb cable? I am wondering if it's possible
