When I plug a cable (from USB) to charge the device (to OTG or Serial Out it's the same), I can see the power button blinking, the battery icon shows a cable, but still it continue to discharge ...
At the first boot the battery was at 37%, now after an hour connected to the cable it's 33% and it keeps going down.
In the quickstart manual there is written that the led should be just static red while charging, but in my case it keeps blinking all the time... is this normal ?
EDIT:
After fighting a bit with the device, now it actually started charging, and the power button is pinkish and not blinking anymore.
I'm not sure what did the trick so I'll list everything I did:

I'm not sure what did the trick so I'll list everything I did:
- Unplugged the charging cable and shut down the device.
- Tried to take out the battery, just to discover that it was almost impossible... the battery was stuck inside very hard and was blocking the lid so I was unable to remove it, to remove the battery ... I did a lot of pulling using also a screwdriver as a lever but then I stopped because I had the fear to damage the battery... so I rotated again the Pyra to try making the battery and the lid to fall down and started shaking the device while punching my arm ... it require a lot of time but in the end the lid and the battery fell down, without signs of damage.
- Plugged the USB cable on the Serial Out port, the Pyra turned on and started loading everything but stopped with a black screen before starting the graphic interface, and the power button was a fixed red
- Plugged the USB cable on the OTG port, the Pyra turned on but with just a black screen, and the power button was a fixed red
- Plugged the USB cable on the Serial Out port, the Pyra turned on and started loading everything but stopped with a black screen before starting the graphic interface, and the power button was a fixed red
- Unplugged the USB cable
- Inserted again the battery in the device (and it turned on)
- I noted that the reported battery charge was different than before removing it, it was 22% instead of 34% ...
- Plugged the USB cable on the Serial Out port, the power button now became a pinkish color (not blinking) and the power management reported that the charge was actually increasing.
