I just received this unit but can not charge it. There is just a clicking noise when the charger is plugged in. Is the AC switch suppose to be on? If I turn the AC switch to on, it looks like it is charging. However, no where in the manual does it say...

I've had this happen occasionally with mine, particularly as the battery has gotten older. It seems to happen only after it has been plugged in for a long time. Unplugging it and letting it sit seems to clear it. If I don't leave it plugged into the charger for more than a day, I don't see the problem. If your's always does it, I think the battery may be getting sick, or the charging circuit is defective.

Did you turn it on before you tried to charge it? There is an on off switch that will stay on once you have it charged.

When you first plug it in, the charging symbol should show up on the screen. If it doesn't, use the AC adaptor. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad battery, or a problem with the unit itself.

My husband has had that issue before, keeps jiggling it and moving it until the light comes on. I don't know if it is charging without the light being on or not - but he does not trust that it is charging unless the light is on. Must be a weak connection to the charging light, but keep trying to get it to come on.

usually when you charge it , it should have a blue / red light that pops up. if it doesnt, it can be broken or you didn't charge the charger yet (:

Seems like you may have a problem, the lights on my charger have lit up every time I plug it in. There is a possibility the wall piece itself is bad though. Maybe try another USB charger an see if it works. Or put dead batteries in it leave it for roughly an hour an try them again to see if they have taken a charge.

Ooh, i haven't had to charge mine yet, and have had it for over two months now. You might want to return it or exchange it.

Did you plug it in right? I plugged it in 1st time & it got hot!! Turned charger over & it charged up fine.

Can not really answer you on that ine. I would probably either try another charging unit to see if that was the problem or else send it back, I did find that the batter life is not what I had hoped it would be as it seemed to last about 3 hours but not much longer. That was/is my one disappointment with the unit...Barbara

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Push in the rubber button on the side. If it doesn't start, check if the charge cord is charging it--it may not have a full charge yet.

It works for me so once the unit is charging and your devices are charging from the unit, try pressing the little button on the side. If that doesn't work, then you may have a defective unit.

I'm not sure if your unit is defective. My newtrent does not make noise when charging. you may have to contact the company so they can help you with that issue.

There is s mini usb port on the side of the charger. Plug into that to charge the unit. It took me some searching on the internet to figure this out also. I think I've answered this question here before also.

Are you sure it is turned OFF when you charge it. If the switch is on it won't charge. Took me forever to figure this out...

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

On my unit the clicking is the overload breaker and the battery never charges. If I measure current it goes to 300mA then clicks, stop and starts again in a couple seconds.I found out that it is due to the winter! My charger worked fine in the summer, not this winter. I verified this by bringing the charger inside, warming it up and then it works! But only for some hours till it gets cold again. My recommendation... for this price, buy a different unit.
