Laptops often have problems charging USB devices. Look very closely at all
USB ports. If any of them have a small '+' symbol along with the USB logo
that port is equipped with power. Or read the technical specs for your laptops.

I have seen some Sony Ericsson phones as well as iPods that refused to
charge from Windows desktops that didn't have the appropriate drivers
installed. With linux on the same hardware they charged happily.
