Yes. Mine froze up so I ordered a new battery......problem solved. This is a fantastic camera!

I have no idea. Sounds like a mechanical malfunction and not a battery problem to me! Good luck!

I never had that problem. You might want to check the battery, or settings on your camera.

You may charge it's battery from an external power bank easily. It takes the same power as a cell phone. But it seems I didn't use it like a camera during that charging time. You may try it - if the camera works being connected to any USB charger it will work with an external battery. Good luck!

Here's how I've been fixing the problem as it happens intermittently to me. Power on the camera, then I gently tap it on a hard surface (like a desk). Mine will then work for months until I repeat.

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

I havent had any problems with mine. A. Check the backup battery (you may even try cleaning the battery with a regular pink pencil eraser - learned this trick when I worked at a camera store)B. Check your power supply - perhaps it is bad. C. Contact Nautilus and see if they will replace the electronics for you. I hope this has been of some help

The first thing I would check is wether or not the battery is charging when plugged into the wall charger. I had a problem charging my camera and through a process of elimination established the fact that the camera itself was bad. I found the same camera on Amazon and ordered it. If you have a National Camera Store near you or a Batteries Plus you could have them check the battery itself to see if it is in fact at half charge. Best Buy also has batteries but I don't think that they can check the charge.

Same problem here, my battery seems however not to charge at all. Did you find a solution/problem?thanks!

Yeah, I found leaving the battery out for 30 minutes helped as the problem didn't comeback until I unplugged it from recharging it. Sucks, I really like the camera.

if it just shuts down out of nowhere try charging it and the same thing hapened to my camera so try to reset it.

I would send it back. Mine turned on and charged fine. However, sometimes it records and sometimes it does not.

Hi , remove battery from camera, insert that plus another of the same battery into the grip, push into camera and tighten screw( making sure not to cross thread) connect cable to control aux. switch. Turn on and check operation. I had to return the first one as it had bad contacts. That's it, start shooting!

Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)

I am not sure if it is my camera that I purchased on Ebay or the battery. At any rate the camera will not keep a charge. I charge it put it in the camera take one picture which I cannot view and than it needs charging again.

I have had my camera for about three years, with no problems. My Flip is a Flip Slide camcorder. If you have the receipt for the camera and it is still in warranty, contact the store, and get a refund. Something is seriously wrong with the battery or charger. If you still have your desktop software installed for the Flip, plug it in and see what happens. Make sure all charging lights are on. Hopefully there is not a break in your cord or USB somewhere. Flip turned their business over to Cisco. Since then Cisco bailed out. Givit.com is handling their uploads now. But seriously that is too long for the camera to charge.

You probably have a bad battery. Same thing happened to me. I ordered two new batteries. Charged them and the Camera works perfect. If you purchased this item refurbished contact the seller and Amazon and have them refund the cost of the new purchased batteries. They refunded the cost for me.
