I purchased the 1250x/40 2 years ago. When placed in the charging cradle, it doesn't charge anymore. I replaced the cradle and cord. Any ideas to fix?

My husband did the same thing. He called customer service and they said that if you leave it in the cradle to charge everyday, it will do that. It is how the battery was designed. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to fix it so they replaced his for free, but now we can't purchase good replacement heads for it because Norelco cheapened those up too.

YES - I am extrapolating from my 8400 version. I have not had the 12000 for 2 full months yet; but my 8400 one held its charge unchanged.

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 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!

Well I ordered new one & tried without charging it but still it was working, & I charged after that & was working perfect.If you tried for 18 hrs, than check your charger. May something wrong with it.

just call the manufacture(google it) and they will tell you what to do. I had mine over a year and the piece that connects the monitor to the charger broke inside. I called them, they told me to send them the old one and within 2 weeks I had a new one waiting for me at my door.

If you are asking why the battery will not charge, I had a similar problem with 2 of the three I had purchased. Apparently there was an internal problem, because I updated the BIOS as was suggested and that did not fix the problem. Ultimately they had to be returned to the manufacturer for repair.

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.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

for my 16000's, it didnt come with an adapter to charge it. it just says to use a mirco usb input to charge it. also be aware of charging. i notice the one i gave to my friend he kept charging it every day and his batteries capacity is decreasing. so make sure you drain it all the way to one bar (not completely dead before charging) mine is fine cause i only charge it when it gets to one bar..... otherwise great product. also dont interrupt it when its charging. my friend did that. wait till it fully charges!

I would contact Shark for the answer to that question. I unplug the charging stand until a charge is needed.

I bought my 205 in September 2008 and now it's dead. I had a few charging issues over the last month, then it wouldn't sit properly on the charging cradle. I had to use a pony tail holder to keep it in place. Now, I just went to get it off the charger and it's completely dead. Not good timing since I am mid way into marathon training! worried if I get another one it will die in 2 years time!!

I never had a problem with it charging. Might be a defective device. It happens with mass produced products.

Had a similar issue; it had to be replaced. Based on what I was told when I called them, the initial batch of these went out with this sort of problem. In my case, while it still worked, it would no longer charge and was not recognized by the computer's USB port (I tried it on several different computers). As I recall, mine did not have a model number on it, which was their indication that it was one of those in the first batch.

The charging light in mine actually didn't work, so I tried turn it. Since in had a battery in it I cound send it through the mail. I contacted AMAZON and they sent me a new. The new one works perfect....

I had same problem...it's either an internal battery or charger issue and it's not fixable...just return it. The new one I got (same model) works though.
