How to charge? I just bought it and I don't know if I'm supposed to connect it to my laptop and if I have to turn it on to charge it.

P.S. Not sure if you know but the micro usb end plugs into the middle of the bottom to charge it, between the hdmi and the regular sized usb. If no lights come after you plug it in then it's not working!

Charge it like your cell phone, connect it to power, no need to turn it on, the same device notifies you when charging is complete, it has lights that indicate

You can use your laptop usb to charge it or any wall usb outlet you use for your cell phone. Keep it off to charge faster but you can watch movies indefinitely if it's plugged in. There's 4 indicator lights that stop blinking when it's fully charged. I hope you recieved one that's not doa! Good luck!

When new it comes already charged. When charging you don't need to turn it on.

Find a 2amp wall charger and plug it in to that. If u charge it off your laptop it will take 6 hours to charge...

I charge mine with the cord that came with it, it plugs into a regular electrical outlet but you could also use the cord to charge on the computer too. I use the electrical outlet..

Hello,I charged it thorugh the USB socket which you would use when downloading your photos to a computer. Put the usb cable in and connect it to either an external charger (with USB socket) or a computer. Best, Dimitar

Have you plugged it in to charge? After it is charged you need to set it up. The "home" button will tell you what to do.

Your laptop should be able to turn on with just the power supply attached as the other poster indicated, regardless of whether the battery works or not. If it does not turn on with the power supply attached, you have other problems. My battery arrived partially charged, so in theory in should be enough to operate the laptop for a short while until you attach the power supply.

Make sure that you bought the right battery first. Look up what kind of laptop you have usually it is printed on the laptop somewhere. Mine is a toshiba satellite. Then google what kind of battery it takes. Make sure that the battery is properly installed and locked in place(tabs near battery) and that it doesn't wiggle. Next is the charging unit. Make sure that its fully put together and connected to your pc power slot. If the battery is right and the power charging unit is fully conected and still no charge check to see if there is an orange light when you plug in the charger. If there is your prolly have a defective battery and should return it, if not then you prolly need a new charger or internal charger connector(pc end).

You can charge it by plugging it into your pc, but I like to have that in case I am away from my pc. So I did need it.

Try this: shut down your laptop. Remove the battery then hold the power button for at least 10 seconds. Put the battery in again restart and see if it charges. If not, return it.

I know it works while it's plugged into our laptop...so I'm assuming it's also charging. I know it doesn't take long to charge.

You need to charge the battery...keep it plugged into your computer over night for the initial charge

From what I have read, it looks like you charge it by connecting it to a computer via the USB cable that comes with it. If you want to charge directly from an outlet, you would need to buy a charger that plugs into the wall socket and into which you can plug a USB cable.

Hi DeniseO, To charge it, you can use your computer (takes a while) or a cellphone charger with micro usb (quicker).

Charge it for a while and then try to use it. You can use it while it is plugged up

You use the USB charger and charge it when It is connected to your computer. I think it's supposed to have about 18 hours of charge when fully charged.

It came with a USB cable that you can plug into your laptop or desktop computer. That will charge it. . Or you can get an adapter to plug into the wall.

You have to replace the battery you want to charge it. And also you need to use the battery charger. I bought ot separately
