Received mine last week. Battery only lasts 6min max on full charge. Have reset & tried different SDs to no avail. Is my device defective?

I have only chraged my pen once and have used it acouple of times without problems. This may be a battery defect. Does anyone have any suggestions on downloading the video nontent from the pen. I have tried doing so using the usb cable as per the instructions, but I am not able to se the video. It seems to download the content, but when the media player comes up, it reads it as music eventhough there is no sound played. Any advise?

I own this same pen and have not had a problem with short battery. I have only charges it once and have used it a couple of times without any battery problems. It may be a defect.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

It very well might be defective. On a full charge, when it does actually record which is approx. 50%-60% of the time), mine will record for a very long time. I'm somewhat surprised at the clarity of the recordings also.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it

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.

Hi, I think there´s something wrong whith your battery Or maybe the source from where you charge, the product manual says: [Note: Some low-power USB ports may not be able to provide enough charge power.]. I got mine for christmas too and battery works great, It gave me about 10 or more hours whith music/photo and video playback, Exelent Player!

That 1 hr 59 minutes isn't battery time. It indicates how much space is available in the flash memory.I finally returned mine after days of fiddling and customer support shenanigans and tech support miscommunications. This is in September and clearly they have been having this issue since at least as far back as July. Flip tech support says this is normal behavior and is "to be expected." Well, there ya go. If you buy this camera then the inability to charge reliably and easily is "to be expected." My new Kodak Zi8 arrives today.

I had the same problem, and returned mine. It started off barely charging and then would not even power on anymore. There is obviously a defect.

I've had similar problems with mine since I got it new. Barely keeps a charge and dies out after a couple of uses.

Great timing with your question. I bought one of these a little while ago and went to use it for only the second time this past weekend.....(I use it as a back up when my main battery is depleted).....the first use was brief, as I only needed a few minutes battery time. This weekend, the battery was fully depleted in a matter of minutes (no more than 5 min) and on subsequent recharges, continues to work just as poorly. I am very disappointed. Don't know if this is the norm or not, but if it is, buyer beware.....

I got the camera and plugged it into the wall using the charger and hours later have no charge at all on the device. did i do something wrong? Is the battery dead? It beeps 3 times and then nothing.

I have the same problem. Always running out of battery. Then the dock stopped working, so I am not at all happy. Good luck.

I had the same problem. The reality is it isn't a very good tablet. You buy a 99 dollar tablet...you get a 99 dollar tablet. I had mine for 5 months and it stopped taking a charge. I learned my lesson.

It sounds like it is dead. Mine would not take a charge after 3-4 weeks. I just found the receipt so I can send it back. I'm of the opinion that these have a high failure rate.

I have not experienced this problem. Are you sure the battery is fully charged before using? Perhaps you have a defective batter and should ask for a replacement.

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.

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.
