Yeah, in my eventual problem-solving steps, I strung up another cord to the back of my TV to plug the CC into a power-strip but the reliability wasn't any better -- not sure if I broke something on the CC by using the TV's built-in USB previously, but it was allegedly rated for 1.8amps according to its documentation.
