I bought my online 8 months ago. I can honestly say it was one of my worst purchases ever! I had to by a new battery to get mine to work. The thing can't fly in any wind. Even on the calmest day it barely moves. Good luck with yours.

I bought this as a gift for my husband, last october. He loves it and never had a problem with it.

Not sure why it's not charging? Mine works fine for over a year now. I'd check your charger first. Make sure all connections are correct & tight. Then, if still no luck, purchase a new charger-the least expensive fix. Make sure the 4(four) metal prongs on the right side of the pass-through box are straight & in-tact. Good Luck!

One or two things could be the problem ,, first make sure all the plugs are plugged in, then it could be the charger its self or it could be the battery I would lean towards the charger.

Try letting it charge for a bit first. It operates off an internal battery as far as I can tell, and the power charges it.

Sounds to me like you may have a faulty one. Mine charged up just fine, and I am still doing well with it. I would contact the company. Sorry I could not be of more help.

My brand new one was faulty. It was either the battery or the charger. I sent it back to Amazon (thanks Amazon) and replaced it with one that works

I am having the same issue in the same time frame. It never worked with the plug, only via usb cable. Now it won't charge at all. Mine came with 1 year warranty.

I am the same as the others, mine came charged. I installed it several weeks ago and it works. Maybe you should check with the company for a replacement. Good luck.

You may have a faulty device. I have had mine for about 7 months and still works great. I've never had issues with it not charging, and always lasts quite a while. Reach out to Amazon or the seller for a replacement. Best of luck!

OK, Lisa, the unit I purchased has worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues. I set it up for charging and it charges fine . I can't honestly say I have any complaints. Not to seem unimaginative but if beleive the unit is defective then I'd contact Amazon customer service. There are also written instructions with the unit. I hope this has been helpful.

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

It works for me so once the unit is charging and your devices are charging from the unit, try pressing the little button on the side. If that doesn't work, then you may have a defective unit.

Could be a lot of things. Most likely, if you have the original charger, it can not be working properly as well. Replace it with one that has a good rating.

I would return this product to the supplier. If it is not recognized and does not charge, it is useless. Amazon's guarantee should solve your problem.

Absolutely, I had the exact same issue, both the supplied power adapter and a back adapter failed. I bought this one and it's charging since then. I would recommend trying this.

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

You have to let it charge for a while and maybe reset it. It comes with instuctions for installing a new battery. If you did that then you probably have another problem.
