Just got mine. It doesn's seem to want to hold a battery charge. Is there a trick to this?

Glad to help. Also, the machine does not turn off when you shut the lid, I made that mistake a couple times. It will run itself dry and you wont see its on because the lid's is shut. So always remember to flick the switch toward you to off.

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.

Not for me. Mine works for as long as I use it without the a/c. It is a great machine.

You might try leaving it charge over night after completely emptying it. You need to train your battery from the beginning to fully charge otherwise it will only charge up to the level you trained it to.

Sounds like possibly a faulty battery. Have you tried sticking a straight ion into the little reset hole? Sometimes that works. Also, did you charge it for the recommended time before the first use?

It's not battery charging style, it gets power once it's cord has been plugged into socket. To make it works properly, please make sure you hold it in a right way. You can google instructions for details. Good luck!

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

No, not for me. I have made sure to discharge my battery though. In unplugging and using battery only, after a full charge that procedure ensures proper battery capacity.

There is a reset hole on the back use a paper clip or tooth pick for 10 sec and make sure it has a full charge first ..also turn it off when you re set it ///I ve seen that help I ve had no issues ..THANK GOD ..for 80 bucks I LOVE MINE

I have that problem, too. Imagine changing the battery might help. Haven't tried it yet, since I don't really need it.

Mine is doing the same thing. Right out of the box. Not sure if it's the charger, the battery or the charge port. Neither USB nor the main adapter charge it at all.

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

Sounds to me like you may have a faulty one. Mine charged up just fine, and I am still doing well with it. I would contact the company. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Something wrong here as it works fine every day on mine. Be sure the battery is properly attached as the little clips can be tricky. Also make sure it's positioned properly for charging. Wiggle it around until you here the sound.

Did you try draining the battery all the way down to 0 % power? That was one of the things it said to do in the instructions if it doesn't charge properly. I actually did do that and it was fine after. It can take awhile to go down to no power though. if you did do that then, I'm not sure.

yea, stick a tiny piece of folded paper or very thin cardboard under the clip that holds the battery down without obstructing the connection for power, and it wont do it anymore. It's just the battery getting knocked around.

I think we all have that problem. It only works when plugged in. They are notorious for not holding a charge.

To make it a little more clear - holding charger upright with the battery and label facing you so you can read it - push the battery hard to the right and pull up on the left side like the others said. Too bad the giant arrow telling you which way to push is UNDER the battery when it is stuck. Couple of tries and you will quickly get the hang of it!

Yah it does that to mine too!! All I did was I took the battery out and plugged in the power cord then put it back in then it started charging! Now sometimes I get that message but all I do is push enter and then it fine.
