If you had yours for over a year, is time for a new one .. Battery life is one year but the benifits are worth buying a new one

You may need to press the button. I thought mine was dead too. But it only appeared to be. Once you press it to your skin it goes on.

I would think that if it does not work at all after taking it off the cradle, then it is damaged. Mine works after taking it off the cradle, however even if I use it only for a few minutes, the color of the charge is orange, and it takes at least 20 minutes to turn to green.

The battery inside the wand is not holding a charge. My first one did that after 2 years. I was told it was not a user replaceable part. I bought a new one, it works great. So if it's under warranty get in touch with Silk'n. If not look for a new one on Amazon. I got a new one in the box for $135.00. It retails for $300.00 I love it, people guess me at 15 years younger than I am.

the only thing I can suggest is to charge it for twenty or so minutes, then power it back on. By that time, it should be ok to receive a call or place one. when it is completely dead, then charging time may differ from one hour to several hours.

Hi, please make sure the mobile phone has been installed at the correct position. Then please pay attention to the gap between mobile and the charging cradle, it should be flat. I wish it will help you.

Clean the contacts on the charging base and the contacts on the remote with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol. THe battery should still be fine, it just isn't getting a charge.

Hmmm-try another phone on the cradle or plug in w/cord to audio to see if it works on that option.If no response-my best guess is death.

I've had this problem with mine. Try unplugging the charger and plugging it back in.

yes, my cradle works. the rechargeable battery that came with my unit would not hold a charge so the seller said to call midland, they are sending me a new battery. call midland, if it is still under warranty they might send you another one.

I have had no problem with mine charging. Perhaps you have a defective unit. Mine is now around three months old. Good luck, Earl

The battery isn't replaceable. If the charging cradle isn't functioning you can plug the charging cable directly into the remote. If the battery has expired you are out of luck.

I had the same issue I dunno how to fix it but I had to keep turning it on to charge the device.

I recently had a problem as well. The battery started not to fully charge. I purchased a new battery and it was better but, it still does not fully charge. I don't know if it is the battery, the charger, or perhaps the vacuum itself. In your case, it sounds like the charger maybe defective because it is has been my experience the charger only flashes (blue light) when the battery is in the cradle. I would order a new charger and battery (if the battery is old) or first replace the charger and see what happens. Good luck!

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

I'm having the same trouble with mine......it just flashes a red battery warning symbol and won't take a charge no matter how long it's on the charger.

Don't know. Try wiping off the contacts to make sure it's actually charging. Look at the trouble-shooting section of the instructions.

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

Check the charging light is on, if it is you may have got a dud! It should work

it goes on when you plug it in...but you have to be sure it is in the cradle properly....rock it around a bit.
