I just started having the same problem. According to the manual here are some possible causes and solutions. Life of rechargeable battery has expired Insert a new rechargeable battery. Rechargeable battery is being charged or refreshed in temperatures either too high or too low. Charging and refreshing temperatures should range between 32F - 95F (0C - 35C). Charging incorrect types of batteries. Charge only a Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

Are you sure it's not charging, or is there just no battery icon? Mine laptop lost the battery icon until I charged and used the battery 3 times, then the battery icon appeared. If it really isn't charging, I would send it back.

I had a similar experience. After a period of working just fine, it stopped taking a charge. Light blinks rapidly when plugged in.

Mine has been plugged in for almost 3 full days and its still blinking. I'm returning it at this point since I don't know if its even at full power

Good question. I'm not sure of the answer. However I charged it just recently and it's my impression that the blue light stops blinking when it's fully charged.

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

Make sure in charge mode by holding "battery" button while radio is off. Should say CHA ON and nimh battery image should be in upper left of display. I haven't had any problems, but the 1000 ma batteries don't last long.

Blinking red means there's a problem........those batteries goes bad a lot.Red for charging and green for fully charged.Hope that helps...............

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

There is a small module that is optional, it blinks according to the charge mode it is in. The module is attached with a short cable that can be mounted outside the unit.

The topmost light will blink - your battery arrived mostly charged - if it was less charged then a different light would be blinking

I charged both of the ones I purchased until the blinking stopped (100%) prior to using them the first time. I used the included USB cables and the wal adapter that came with my iPad.

Sounds like you got a DOA. Over nite should do it. Is the problem with the charger and not the battery?

No it is not working if the red light is blinking. Blinking light usually signifies a charging problem. Red light should remain solid as charging. Take the camera off the charger and reattach to charger repeatedly until you get a solid red light, sometimes that works after many multiple attempts. Otherwise it is most likely you have a defective battery that cannot be charged. Good luck.

It blinks green when its charging then solid green when its charged....Move the cables n put a little Vaseline on the battery . This works for me.

Blinking light means it is in charging mode. Should go back to green after awhile.Sorry for your loss.

Mine doesn't blink ... it's either steady read (charging) or steady blue (charged).
