Plugged in constantly, but when unplugged, the battery icon starts blinking and it turns itself off. Does it need a new battery already?

Good question, I tried to charge mine using solar recently and they did not charge . I have been very busy recently and haven't had a chance to figure out what is wrong

Has the red plastic tab separating the battery from one of the connections been removed? The red plastic tab stops current to/from the battery as to not waste battery life.

Maybe try unplugging it and then plug it back in...usually when the green light flashes it is because of the timer...it will automatically shut down after an hour then you have to power off and then on again....let me know if this helps if not we can try something else

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

Have a similar problem-battery says charging but us always 0% and I can not unplug without it turning off. Called Asus-surprise they only warrenty the battery for 6 months. Very frustrating.

I have played the unit for a good two hours with the battery. I almost always have it plugged in when I view it. I would see about returning the battery, or getting a new unit. Thats what I like about Amazon, I have never had a problem with a return or replacement.

I have left mine connected without being plugged in for a few hours without a problem. But I don't know about permanently I have never done that.

Do not leave it plugged in! I did and my battery is now dead. It turns out to be VERY expensive to change the battery b/c you must send it back to the manufacturer to do so. There are some good tips here on preserving the battery life that I really wish I had known beforehand. I'm currently trying to decide if it is worthwhile to replace the battery or not.http://1866uselady.com/show.php/en/online_store_2

I purchased as a gift for my son at Christmas, he's had zero issues. Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect. Removing the connection from the laptop when finished using would prove ideal. Keeping it connected kills the battery much more quickly. Contact Philips or Batteries Plus is a great place to look. Hope this helps and good luck.

The internal battery is constantly being recharged while the unit is operating. Has the unit been in storage for a long period? Also I believe there is a reset button on the unit. Just a small hole where you insert a pin or paper clip to push it. I don't have the unit in front of me but this would be typical. Good luck.

Mine has been fine. Had it a year and a half almost always plugged in and still lasts several hours whenever I unplug it. Ran it about 5 hours unplugged the other day and it was still going strong before I had to turn it off for the evening.

I have read reviews where it says that it has drained the battery. The instructions that come with the item also references unplugging the unit when not in use.

I do not know but I had the same issue at first. I think it may be not charged enough or not charging. For the first several days it beeped. I kept plugging and unplugging from wall. Also, kept connecting and disconnecting the battery to housing. Finally after enough playing and enough days, it started working for me. Either I got lucky or it has something to do with being charged.

Try the reset procedure--unplug for 10 minutes. I've not had this problem with this model.

You don't have to unplug it. I keep mine plugged in with no problems. Nothing remains running. I'm not even sure why it says that.

Everything seems to be fine with mine,no problems at all. You might try unplugging it for a minute and then plug it back up,see if anything resets.

Mine did the same thing. I left it plugged in for days and it never worked again. I just threw it out.

Can anyone confirm that this device has built-in battery? Mine would stop working when unplugged from 110v outlet.
