worked good for 2 years of very light use. Now won't take a charge. Just one light blinking. Any suggestions?

Yes!...Change the charger cord!... I use mine on a weekly basis in all currencies all over the world, and have noticed that changing the cord helps...Sometimes I use the charger from my Motorola Bluetooth headset charger and others my Android charging cord...All good now!

don't leave it in a hot area, store/keep it in a cool place. Check the cord. You may have a short and need replacement. That's what happened to me.

Maybe the battery is "old" without much power OR make sure you didn't put the battery in upside down. Check the numbers on the battery to make sure you bought the right one. When you press START, make sure the : is blinking

Never like hearing these stories. I don't recall a warranty myself, sorry. It's over six months old, and I'd be doubtful on a warranty but worth a try with the vendor and let them know if it stopped charging suddenly or was the computer telling you all along there was "X" amount of life remaining. Just as an FYI, the recommendation is it is good for the battery to use it on Battery Only mode to wear it down and do a recharge rather than keeping the computer plugged in all the time. Good luck, J. J.

Contact the seller. I've had this battery for 2 or 3 years and have not had this issue.

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

No workaround sorry you need a new battery. The batteries on these radios only last a year if you use them regularly. It may appear to be charging when off but it only holds a small charge. Look at the dock if the light is blinking for an extremely long time time to replace it

One possibility could be the battery. If it was not charged for 2 years, there's a good chance that it might me dead. Try to connect your camera to external power, i.e. charger and try to turn it on. If it all goes OK, then it is the battery. If it doesn't turn on, then the problem is somewhere else -> go to technician.

Mine stopped working as well. It lasted for about 6 months. Sometimes it decides to turn on. When it does, after some time, it flickers on and off and then shuts off completely.I have a second one, that's just as old, that is working perfectly fine.... for now.

My battery is shot after less than 2 years of occasional use. Takes no charge whatsoever. Anyone know of a replacement other than the $40. Wacom? 20% of purchase price for a new battery is hard to swallow. Fortunately, the tablet still works with the battery charger connected.~JO

Seems like when it's fully charged, the blue light continues to blink. It would be nice if it stopped blinking to let you know that it's finished charging.

I've never had this issue. You know it is fully charged when the light quits blinking.

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

sounds like the batteries are nearing the end of life. mine does this now too, but they still charge. new batteries work as the manual says and the lights blink and slow to a stop. i have been milking these "old" batteries for a while and the charger not stopping is the only issue along with reduced fly time of course.

I've used and liked this product since i purchased it about two years ago. The first time I had to replace batteries, all went well, though I had to reset the unit to get it to work. The second battery change hasn't gone so well. I can't get it to turn on, in spite of using the reset procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions of this situation?

Try to charge it again. The red charging light should lit. Goes off when charge completed. If the red light stay on for days that means the battery is not charging. Remember the LED lights only turn on in "DARK" when unplug from outlet or no electricity. The unit is designed for emergency usage (no electricity , total darkness). LED lights won't turn on under daylight or normal room light. Call them for replacement if you think it is defective. I have half dozen of these for three years. And they still working in good order. I hope they will last for couple more years.

I have three of these and they don't usually die but I have one not holding a great charge after 2 years. Since the warranty is only 1 year, the company will replace the battery for a fee. But you do have to send it in. Don't open it yourself or you may hit something inside. There is also a reset hole in the silver ring bottom. Push a pin in it for 5 seconds then hit the on button for 5 seconds and see if the reset charges the battery. Best of luck.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.
