Yeah, we had a similar problem and had to return it. Really liked the design of this and was disappointed it didn't work longer.

Did you follow the instructions and let it charge for 24 hours before first using it? I have my MBP set to "Better Battery Life" and sleep/turn off display after 15 minutes, in Energy Preferences. After watching 75 minutes of video over WI-FI on battery, and Bluetooth turned on for the mouse, I have about 30% battery life left. I don't think that's quite as good as the Apple battery when it's new, but I can live with it.

Try charging it - the keyboard, not the ipad. That happened to me. Let it charge for a few hours and it should start working again.

suggest trying a different cable first. also try charging something else with a different connection like mini usb to rule out it being only a Apple product charging issue.

Try a different cable, or a different charger, maybe discharge it completely and recharge.

Very interesting! I talked to the company today and they insisted there must be something wrong with my USB port. So, I called Apple and they suggested I bring my macbook in to have the USB ports checked out. After reading your post, I think I'll cancel the appointment. By the way - do all the Flip models have the same USB connector? Rhonda

Mine does this but the yellow light is blinking. Don't know why but unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes it... until the next time. :-/

Unplug charger, then plug it back in and try to charge it now....don't know why, but that seems to work for me....certainly no the way it should be.

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

When mine was fully charged the light stopped flashing and stayed on. Regards

is it turned on? also is the usb inserted all the way in the external battery pack? did you see all four blue charge indicator light up? have you found the power button on the side? have you tried a different usb lightening charge cord?

Blinking light means it is in charging mode. Should go back to green after awhile.Sorry for your loss.

Did you do the recommended complete drain and fully recharge method they recommended. If you have the same macbook pro I have it has been a power hog from the start. I just bought a new battery, it last only about an hour and a half, that is with all the power saving options turned on. Also the display turned down. My battery never lasted very long even when new.

This might be a repeat answer. If you have pluged the unit into another outlet and the light still flashes I think you should return it.

Hi , mine is working very well . I put to charge , the light is off when is charged . I'm using mine 6 months and bought more 3 . Maybe yours came with something wrong

That's going to be a software issue on your Mac, not an issue with the battery itself. As long as it's holding a charge, the issue shouldn't be with the battery. I would suggest contacting AppleCare regarding the icon issue.

Mine arrived fully charged from the seller, and it worked instantly. I have an '07 MB and it is in great shape. I would call Apple Support @ 800-275-2273 and ask them if your computer may have a faulty wiring or charging problem. If they can't help, you may want to respond to the seller and ask to return it. Perhaps buy another one from another seller. Good luck.
