Brookstone digital picture frame

This seems like a bad trend. I got mine for Christmas of 2007 as well and it isnt working at all now. It gets to the Brookstone screen then doesn't do anything after that. I can't get it to work. Does anyone know what we can do?

got it for x-mas 2007 really loved it till this month when it started to freeze up during start up. sometimes unplugging it would work but now nothin

Sounds like a trend of some kind. We got our Brookstone 10" frame during Christmas 2007 and today it decides it won't turn on. The green light in the back comes on when you push the power button though. I've tried all the tricks.... USB In/out, different outlet, holding the button down for different lengths of time.
I wonder, are these things programmed to self destruct in 13-14 months?

The same thing happened to me with the Brookstone digital frame I received Xmas 2007. I took it to two Brookstone stores but they refused to stand behind their product. Disappointing.  .  .  

brookstone 10" digital frame - no picture, only green power LED lit.  13 months old. 

I have had two of the 10" Brookstone Digital Picture Frames now the first one came up with the Brookstone logo and nothing happened. Tried powering off a few more times then it finally asked to insert media and worked. Exchanged it and now the second one works but the edge of the LCD screen is brown especially the corners. It is not the protective sheet that came with it so it is defective too. So I will be returning or exchanging it but not leaving the store till I see this next one works and no brown edge on the screen. Here is the URL to the one I got:

Ditto for me. received last year for Christmas and now only the green light and it freezes during startup. Model AH1812-B

Very same problem.  Brookstone warranty info says "receipt required", which doesn't work for gifts.

I have the exact same problem and have been toying around with it for months. Are these things just junk?

Same problem

I have the brookstone Digital Frame Model AH1212-B and I received it as a Christmas gift. It worked fine until this summer and it too won't turn on. I have a green light (where the DC plug goes into the frame) showing it has power, but it will not turn on.
