It may be defective. Mine charges both with power in or off. The charge lasts a while too. Maybe send it back for replacement. For the price this is probably the best one I have found that has a remote.

Yea I bought a few before finding this one and the sound is definitely good considering Craig is considered on the lower end. I had a Craig radio in my truck when I was a kid and the truck fell apart before the radio did.

There is no internal battery. It does not charge. It must be plugged in to an external power source to work.

It is not a stand alone unit. It has no battery. It must always stay plugged into an outlet

There are 2 ways to charge it. If the plug in is damaged in any way, you might have a problem. ( you need to plug and Un plug straight and don't wiggle. ). You can also charge with the USB port

I would recommend charging it for between 3-4 hours. There should be a blue indicator light on the side where the power button is that may turn off when its fully charged(if the device is already powered down)

I've found that the Power Rocks charger loses it's charge if not used within a short time of the actual recharge. You may have to push the white end (this is also how you tell if the Power Rocks is charged) to turn it on. I've been using mine for a few weeks - once I figured out which cable and which end to connect with what, I LOVE it. I did have to purchase an add'l outlet plug so that I can re-charge my device at this same time I recharge my Power Rocks. It was challenging at first, and I thought it wasn't working, so don't give up too soon!

gently place it in the seating for it and leave it alone. moving it about while it is charging will wobble it. take it out of the seating and use base as a night light when it has charged a bit. it will hold charge for a long time.

Have you tried to fully charge the poweradd before using it. I had the problem when I first bought mine. When fully charged I get about 4 to 6 hours of more battery life.

Maybe you need to keep it connected until it is fully charged then remove the cable. give it a try .. if that is still not working then it is a problem.

Need more info - like was it plugged in when the screen went dark?.. Have you tried plugging it in to be recharged to see if the green battery lights up? (May have to push the power on button momentarily while charger is plugged in).. If "yes" does it hold a charge and have you tried to turn it on while plugged in?.. If it's a battery or a tablet issue it need a tech - it could possibly be a charger issue.. Contact the factory, who knows they may stand behind their product and repair/replace - depending on many factors..

I just hold power button till it says "power on" to me at obscene volume. make sure you unplug before turning on, i noticed it doesn't like to do anything while charging.

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.

I had trouble with it charging at all. I emailed deerbrook support because it was past the time to return it to Amazon. I sent it back to them and they said they would repair or replace. I would see if Amazon will exchange it since you just got it.

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.

Sometimes power cords can be tricky. Try a Friend's power cord or someone else's with the exact same one. I only know because with another laptop I had, It showed plugged in not charging, The laptop suggested that I change the battery so I did only to receive the same message. It wound up being the power cord. Alternately you can try shutting down the PC. Unplug the power cord, remove the battery, Then hold down the power button for 20 seconds. Re-Install the battery then the power supply and power back up. Hope this helps!

Charge it overnight and try again. Ours showed that it was not charged at all but worked fine all of the sudden. We had not charged it for months. Other than that I do not know.

Are you sure it is turned OFF when you charge it. If the switch is on it won't charge. Took me forever to figure this out...

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.
