Playsport does not turn on again after disconnecting from USB: Should I return it?
260520
I found this post it might help some of you: "As it turns out the battery initiates an auto shutdown sequence when it is completely drained. When trying to recharge the battery from this "completely dead" state, it fails to get above the charge level where it won't auto-shutdown. (Think of the iPhone that doesn't turn on until it is over 5% battery when charging from completely dead). Due to this flaw in design it is necessary to hold down, or repeatedly click, the power-off button directly after you plug the camera in. This will manually override the auto shut-down feature that disconnects the battery and prevents charging. The camera should turn off immediately but the charging light will stay on since it was manually turned off instead of using the auto-shutdown protocol."

I bought the item twice. Neither one worked. No charge... No sound on both. I didn't bother with HDMI port. Bought a power cable with the first dock; it might have been the problem; had no other device to test it out on. My advice, if you buy one with a power cable (and you don't know if the cable working, charging the dock) send them all back together. That what I should have done the first time, instead of assuming there was nothing wrong with the it.

I'd say you got a dud. I LOVE mine. I think you'll find a bad one in most electronics. Hopefully you can exchange it.

I'm sorry, but I have no clue. The USB plug worked fine for me. Perhaps it is defective.

Have similar issue, seems the hdmi out port is to blame, changed all the cables (several times) to no avail. This started after only 6 days, bought because of a relative small number of problems, only to encounter one myself. I have yet to find a fix and not willing at this time to have it repaired will prob send back for a replacement

I too just had this start up this past week. I've had to jiggle and reinsert the plug to see if the connection will take. My laptop is only a couple months old, so I'll be calling to see what my options are for fix or repair.

I personally returned mine after it froze ten minutes into playing around with the functions, and bought another player with the refund.If you haven't already, you should hold the reset button for ~10 seconds (as opposed to just pressing it) and see if that does anything, like commutergirl suggested.Also, maybe double-check to see that it was plugged in properly for charging? Sometimes USB ports can be weird.In any case, good luck! I hope it's just a temporary thing and that it works soon for you!

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

make sure it is connected to a video source, yellow plug. other than that i dont know. maybe defective? i would try a few different things before sending it back. turn it off then on, letting it warm up, etc

the playsport charging cable is USB on one end, and the end that sticks into the playsport is something else. I'd have to dig mine out to give you a better answer.

No I do not, sadly. The USB part broke off when I unplugged it. Logitech may have an extra part, I would try giving their customer service a call. Or, they may just end up sending you a new headset like they did with me multiple times.

Hi Stacy! You know or have read about determining your USB port is a 'good' one for the interactive compatiblity on an earlier post? Basically, in Windows, that popup that shows a new external (in our case) USB (as it is identified by Windows) flash drive or as I call'em, 'sticks', has been (successfully) plugged in and gives you a list of options. This is good as all things expected should go well; the green led lights up on the earbud and has an even pulse and if you put it close to your ear, no music can be heard. Provided the above is as I described, its pulsing will go on for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending upon how depleted the battery is. Once it is fully charged, the pulsing will stop and a steady/constant lighting of the earbud LED will signify charging is complete. Hope this helpful and you achieve a satisfactory result.

I received this (black) yesterday and have the same issue. It disconnects and reconnects every a minute or so. I test it with two computers (one desktop and one laptop, both with windows 7) and also tried with two different micro sd cards (sandisk 1GB and sandisk 16GB). I guess mine is defective. I'm going to return it and get another one.

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.

oh, and just in case you didn't notice it in the description, each USB port has an on/off switch. so if you get this item, just make sure your ports are in the on position before thinking that you have a defective item. Hope I've been helpful to you! :)

Have you tried connecting it with the USB cord? I returned mine because once I took it off the cord, it shut off, and wouldn't go back on.
