If you leave it charging long enough, the red led should go out
(with non-running pbp, may take 24 hrs, try both ways, (barrel, C))
If it doesn't (go out),, that is not right
Some chargers have a meter builtin, I actually have 2, 1 is a car cig lighter plug
The other cost ~$20+, there are also inline meters, usbA in, usbA out, cheaper (?$5)
Then A->C cable
I would remove the emmc, then you are sure
(the docs are poor, ie switch enabled = emmc disabled, not made explicit and should be)
