We have purchased a new Gear Pro camera and it won't charge. The red light goes on only briefly and then off immediately, but never charges. How can we get it charged?

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

I wish I could help, but I returned mine because the video was poor quality

Try charging the battery with a "battery charger" that usually comes with the camera.

My guess is that the battery is fully charged. If that's not the case then you need to call horizon hobby and they will probably send you a replacement charger.

Try resetting the camera. You might also try connecting the charger cord to see if a charge jolt would make a difference.

I purchase one and the camera will not charge or turn on to work. Never used it. Purchase for a graduation gift and or course I cannot return it for exchange or refund. I hope this helps. Thanks

Try contacting Sony tech support, if you haven't done this already. Another possibility would be to call (or visit) a local pro camera shop in your area. Good luck!

I believe the battery is hard wired into the camera. If you can not get it to charge, its time to replace the camera

Hello Scott! I'm sorry to know that it's not working, hope you return it and get a new one or refunding your money. I'm using the battery for some 6 months or more and it's working fine so far with my Nikon D3100. I'm switching from the original battery and the replacement ProGo battery to have always a fully charged one available, are you using only the Progo?

I had that issue too. It wouldn't charge anymore either. Contact the seller, very easy to work with and they sent me a new one for free.

First make sure its plugged in the input whole. I made this mistake and it never would charge. But once it's in the correct outlet it should stop flashing when it's full. If it hasn't then you may need to contact the manufacturer. I hope I could help.

Yep just charged it off my laptop USB port this morning. Take a standard micro USB plug. Great camera. Just love it.

I have looked around for batteries replacement for GearPro, but I came up with nothing. I can't find the Gearpro web site either.

I'm joining this comment party quite late, but I had the same problem. The battery completely drained between uses and I could not get it to charge via USB due to the auto shut-off design flaw programmed into the device. I bought an off-brand wall charger and spare battery, charged the Kodak battery that way and, Voila! It works again and now I have an additional charger and a spare battery.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which you can change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out, and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

If you have the charger, then just put the USB part into a computer, it will charge it.If you don't have the charger, than a USB cable that fits the camera connector should charge it, but some USB cables do not allow charging, depends on the cable.

The first thing I would check is wether or not the battery is charging when plugged into the wall charger. I had a problem charging my camera and through a process of elimination established the fact that the camera itself was bad. I found the same camera on Amazon and ordered it. If you have a National Camera Store near you or a Batteries Plus you could have them check the battery itself to see if it is in fact at half charge. Best Buy also has batteries but I don't think that they can check the charge.

I had a similar problem (battery wouldn't hold a charge). I purchased another replacement from Amazon and still the same problem. I sent the camera to the Nikon repair facility in Long Island NY and they sent it back in the same condition with the note that I used a non-Nikon battery. I played that game and ordered a Nikon battery, charged it up and, you guessed it, same problem. Sent it back to Nikon with the Nikon battery and got it back with the same condition. My assessment? That repair facility is staffed by idiots who are unsupervised and I purchased a Sony camera to replace the Nikon. End of story.
