Must be something wrong with the battery/camcorder. I've had this problem myself. I've tried several different USB cables and none of them seem to charge the battery.

same problem, had the camera for a while, haven't really used it... battery was charged/fine... went to open it/turn on...nothing. Plug in usb cable and solid red... screen shows green/chimes when plugged in..but then black. Playing with button doesn't do much sometimes I can get the red light on the back to go green...but that's about it.

I thought I was blind. Nothing in the manual about charging the battery. I had mine in upside down. The red light must be blinking when charging.

LED stays red, battery warms up, but the battery doesn't charge up. I pressed the on/off button at the top and I believe it turned off and now of course it won't come on at all either with the battery or without.

I spoke to an actual Bestbuy guy and he said if the USB cable is plugged in correctly it will charge the camcorder. If it is not charging there may be something wrong with the camera, battery, or USB cable itself.

Make sue the text side of the battery is facing up. Not the pure black side... I was having this problem until I decided to flip the battery around and it worked just fine...

Make sure the battery is not flipped around. The white text should be on the top looking up at you, and the pure black side should be facing down to the camera.

I had this same problem. I was charging and charging and nothing was working. Looked it up online and my battery was in upside down. The solid black part of the battery has to be face down. It seems wrong but it works.
