Hi there and happy hacking!
Im just recived my GS (Im from Spain) and Im just wondering if its possible to charge the GS without Power ON the console.
I mean, when I plug the microUSB to the GS power on and start to charge (organge led in MB) but then, I want to power OFF the GS for a full charge while the system is off, but when I shut down the system the orange led switch off too…
So, there’s no possible to charge the system if there are shut down?
Thank you guys and enjoy your Shells!
