I had the same problem. I also tried to charge for over 24 hours. Not recommended at all.

Sorry. Not sure what to tell you. We did have one that froze on us that we were never able to do anything with and we had to replace it.

All I can think of is you might need to try "rebooting". There is a tiny hole in the bottom of the camera (inside the place where you would screw in a tripod). Try sticking a paper clip in the tiny hole a push for about 5-10 seconds. Mine has frozen before and that resets it. Do that, then try hooking it back up to your computer.

There are videos on YT that step-by-step detail how to self-replace with a fresh battery when all else fails.

To avoid this problem, use the "Safely remove" function in the OS. The fix is to remove the battery, plug it into the PC, wait a minute for it to be recognized by the system. Then "Safely remove" the device using the icon in the system tray. Then remove the Flip from the USB port. Then install the battery, then plug it back into the usb port on the PC and it will charge.

It's a slow charge so it may take a while, try leaving it for 2 hours then see if the problem exists . If it still don't charge then send it back you may have a defect .I just got may replacement.

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.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

Did you make sure everything was plugged in well. Sometimes putting the cord onto the power source is a little hard and if it was on all the way then I would say something is wrong because within the 24 hours mine was fully charged.

I purchased it on line a couple of years ago. I used it once, when the battery went dead I put it on the charger but it didn't charge or the charger is bad. It hasn't worked to this day. Does anybody know what is wrong with it! Please let me know.

It sounds like something may be defective or the battery is dying out, as it should only take a couple hours to charge. I cannot recall it taking more than hours. You may want to use a power block instead of a computer to charge it to make sure the problem isn't with say a weak laptop battery.

Hi TonySnap.My battery is also refusing to charge!There should be a warranty on all products, I intend to return, this product as soon as I return to theUSA.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

I am sorry that your battery doesn't charge, it could be your battery charger. Get a 12 volt meter and check the charger and if the charger is not working then replace the charger. If the battery is the problem ask amazon what to do. I have not had a problem charging mine but it does take awhile to charge.

Looks like it's not working. I had mine a long time ago and i know i charged it like for hours. Maybe 8. But not 2 days. That's too long. If it's still not charged, then i would think it is not functional.

Read the instructions and make sure everything is being hooked up properly. If that is not working I would try a new battery or send it and exchange it. I have had zero problems with mine so far. I hope this helps.

Im not sure. Try turning it on and letting it charge up. Maybe it needed the day to charge. Both mine work.

I had problems with this not charging - but each time it turned out to be the usb cable that had gotten too loose. I would try a different USB cable and see if that will charge it. We have had ours for a year and the battery life, while not great, is still a good hour or so.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

Should be around 8 hours. I found mine wasn't working so I open up the battery compartment and found the battery wasn't hooked up. Once I hook the battery up to the unit it work perfectly. Your battery could be disconnect hence is not holding the charge. Worth looking into this. Good luck.

If it's new, make sure the brush head is firmly seated. If it has been on the charger for 24 hours and still won't turn on, it may be defective. If it isn't new, my best guess is that it has died. That's how both of mine have failed -- one day they just wouldn't turn on.
