Anyone have trouble charging? Blue light blinks entire time, 4 hours plugged in, only works when plugged in-ideas?

Yes, I had that exact problem. Wound up sending it back within the 14 days return period. Amazon won't even exchange it, had to be returned.

I do not either have any problems, sometimes it discharges during transport though (I think it is because the laser pointer button sometimes gets pressed).

I have been using it for 3 months now, and problem at all with the charge. The bettery works perfectly!

The light is supposed to turn off when the battery is charged. If it only works when plugged in, that defeats the purpose. I'd contact the maker. Sounds like yours is defective. BTW, did some long workshops this summer. did recharge during the lunch breaks. The battery seems to last about 7.5 hours.

No, in fact it doesn't charge anything... It didn't turn on. But it will however take a charge for 4 hrs and all the blue light will be on (meaning is fully charge). But will it charge other things? HELL NO!!!

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.

I haven't experienced it not working, I keep it charged. A blue light comes on to let me know its operational.

Call Anker u may have a faulty charger. They replaced mine for free.The light on the charger should be a purpleish color while charging and blue when fully charged

Mine have always worked. Make sure the outlet you're plugging into has the correct voltage and that the indicator light is solid. I thought mine wasn't charging once but the outlet (GFCI) had tripped! Sorry I'm not more help.

There should be a little blue light that comes on on the bottom that let's you know that it's charging. If the light isn't coming on, but it's charging maybe it blew out? Otherwise, I'd contact the company. They're really approachable. :)

I let mine charge for several days, and it still never came on. Then I charged it for several more (with switch in off position), never worked.

The charger is a little lose it happend to me TONSSS OF TIMES. All you have to do is make sure the end piece is plugged in extra tight and wait for the blue light to go on. If that doesnt work then you might want to replace it.

I think when I plugged mine in as well it does blink while it's charging ... Once it's fully charged all 3 lights light up indicating it's done

Make sure you are charging from the right port. If that's correct. .make sure it's charged for 24 hrs. ..If not successful. .its faulty. ..assuming that your charging a device has a good battery and the voltage is correct

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

Try downloading the bug fix upgrade. Seems to have solved my problem, which was charging overnight with either OEM or after market dicks and cables. Through the PC was just fine always.

Lights only blink while charging. You might check the surfaces of base and toothbrush to be sure they are clean. Also, check plug. Do you have a GFI that could have tripped?

That was one of the problems... nothing appeared to indicate it was actually charging. So I just made sure I had it plugged into a good socket and let it charge overnight... But the next day it still didn't work, so I returned it.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.
