I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

When mine did this, I went to Wal Mart and bought a new battery. My camera worked just fine after that. I quess my old battery was just worn out...I hope this helps you...

I had no problem with mine, now that was a yr ago almost, I didnt have to charge, but it says to fully charge it and I did an have not had a problem since.

I was about to suggest first checking if the battery is inserted in the right position too. When the battery is charging there is a light in the camera. Also...because it happened to me: do you press the on-off button? If your camera is new check if the battery does not have a plastic little tapeon the poles that would originaly have to avoid leaking power. Good luck!

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.

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.

I've had no issues with mine at all. Try replacing the batteries first then disconnect the clip where it connects together leave off for 30 sec. Then plug it in is what I'd do. Good luck

I let mine charge for several days, and it still never came on. Then I charged it for several more (with switch in off position), never worked.

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.

Make sure batteries are in correctly, then hold down power button. Good luck.

I'm going to try this...letting it die so it will turn off, if it's not off already, then charging it up, and see if I can get it on. If I can't, I'm just going to send it back and either get another one, or I'm going to have the money refunded so I can get something different.

Did you turn it on before you tried to charge it? There is an on off switch that will stay on once you have it charged.

Double check that you have the batteries in the charger correctly, charge them and it should work. Return it via Amazon

Same thing has happened to me. What I did was wait and tried again, held power button down. I also made sure charge was full. When u plug in charger there is a small red light. Be worried if the red light doesn't show

Did you try draining the battery all the way down to 0 % power? That was one of the things it said to do in the instructions if it doesn't charge properly. I actually did do that and it was fine after. It can take awhile to go down to no power though. if you did do that then, I'm not sure.

If it won't turn on as usual, I recommend taking the batteries out for a minute, reinstalling them, and going through the tare process again. (I believe this is just stepping on it to wake it up, then stepping off before it locks on your weight to allow it to balance to 0)

You Should First Try To Make Sure You Have Fully Charged Your Battery Then Try To Hold The Power Bottom 4 30 Seconds It Should Turn On.Hold Power Bottom Untill It Turns On.DO NOT Try To Turn On While Charging It Will Not Turn On Properly I Hope This Helps

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

Try changing the "AA" battery. If this does not work, I don't know what do to.
