Not sure why. I haven't had any issue with my unit (yet). You may have a defective Battery or Grip. Sorry...

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 bought one. I didn't have any trouble finding the settings in the A7 menu and my battery is installed properly without the plastic interrupter strip and I couldn't get it to work. If they shipped it with a dead battery, shame on them. I don't have another. Where is the camera reading the IR signal? Through the lens? Are you supposed to see a light on the front of the remote when you push the button?

I have a Vixia HF20 camera that uses the BP-808 and BP-819. I bought the Maxtek BP-827 and have had no problems with it. Also The camera does recognize the battery for the time.

I'm having this problem with a DPF D80.It's a big problem because it was bought as a gift for elderly relatives, I took it out of the box to load it with some photos, and I MUST now get it back in the box. But it won't go as the stand won't close.

http://www.nikonusa.com/en/About-Nikon/Search.page Try this link to download the manual. Disconnect the cable from the camera and computer. Try turning on and off again. Make sure you see a full charge on the battery icon display screen. If battery is not holding a charge, then you may have to purchase a new one.

I had this problem. Bought a new battery on ebay and charged and the blinking went away. I thought the problem was solved but after shooting 10 minutes of video the camera is dead. Neither battery works so I think the camera is defective.

First try reattach in the lcd cable but if that doesn't work then when you buy a new lcd test it by plugging it in before install an and make the battery has a chargeSteven

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan 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.

First...assuming you are using the 8-AA battery box...once the grip is attached, remove the battery slide and than reattach. You will know it is working if you look on the display on the camera. Directly right of the icon that shows the remaining battery life it will have the letters BP which indicates the power is coming from the battery grip. Also in the camera setup menu go to the option that lets you choose if you want the power to first come from the camera or battery grip...select the battery grip. If you are talking about not able to use the release button on the grip...make sure you rotate the switch next to it so the indicator points to the white dot which selects the grip controls. Finally...do you have the stock battery in the camera plus the one in the grip? If all else still doesn't work....remove the grip and reattach...perhaps the contacts are dirty or defective. It should work...mine works perfectly and is a cheap replacement for the Nikon unit that is identical in performance and looks. Last thing...if all else fails you may have a bad one so return it.
