Hello, make sure the charger is working. If charger is confirmed working, then it means problem is from the charging port. The charging port may be defective, it needs to be serviced or replaced. Good luck.

As an 880 owner myself, I think this is a common problem and documented out there on the internet.
This has happened to me a lot. (Okay, it's actually stopped now as the charged remote keeps shutting down and going into test mode.) But, back to your battery issue - I believe that the charging pins in the dock don't properly contact the equivalent pins on the back of the remote.
Try cleaning them with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol, then press down. You should hear one beep only - if you hear a beep followed by another beep, the unit has made contact then lost it.
Good luck! I think this really is a design flaw.
Hi. The Harmony 880's have a common problem with the charger not being able to charge the remote after a while. This is a common problem and you are certainly not alone. However, there is good news.
If the remote is still under warranty, then you can get it replaced by calling Logitech.
If it is not under warranty, you can buy a new charger by calling 1-800-231-7717. They are only USD $10.
If your Harmony remote is not charging on the base, try pressing down on the remote, and wiggling it around. It's just that the pins are not making contact.
If pressing down helps, you can fasten it on with a elasitc band or something so that it keeps charging. If that does not work, then you will probably need a new charger. Good news is that they are only about $10 if you buy it right from Logitech. You can call their sales line at 1-800-231-7717. Hope that helps you out.
First, check your battery indicator (make sure it's fully charged). Second, dock your remote with the USB cable and reprogram the remote. It's possible you disconnected before the programming was properly transmitted to your remote. Finally, if things don't work, use the HELP button on the remote. It should talk you through a procedure to fix your problem.
I have the same remote. Clean the contacts on both the remote and the charger base. Then place the remote in the charger. If it does not start charging, wiggle the remote back and forth in the base while pushing down gently. It should begin charging. I have found I must clean the charging contacts every few months.
Venturer - PDV880 9901321 The Disc goes too fast. It started OK then all of a sudden stopped working. Put another dvd in and does the same thing. We have used this 4 times. Got it as a gift. Don't know where they bought it.
