Hi, Ephraim. The flashing red light indicates that the device is showing "low battery". It could be that the LG phone charger fits the charging port on your bluetooth headset but it is not compatible with your device. In order for you to know that it is charging, the device should show a steady red light(means charging).
Please take a look at the table reference below.

If none of this is helpful then it may be that your battery is dead, if that is the case then you will need to replace the whole headset. The battery's are not replaceable.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

According to the instructions provided by the operator manual...

"Connect the charger to the charging port.
- When the charger is connected, with the power on or off,
the Headset will turn off automatically, and cannot be used.
While charging, the LED indicator will show a solid blue light.
- The buttons will not function while the device is charging.
- It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Headset.
- When charging is complete, the LED indicator will turn off.

Plug the Motorola charger into the end of
the headset.
The blue indicator light turns on when the
battery is charging. It may take up to 1
minute for the light to turn on. When the
headset's battery is fully charged (about 2
hours), the blue indicator light turns off.
1
With the headset power off, press and hold
the Call button for 6 to 10 seconds until the
blue indicator light turns on and remains
steadily lit.
Note: The blue light will flash as you press and hold the Call
button. Continue holding down the Call button until the blue
light is steadily lit.
Note: If you let go of the Call button before the blue light is
on and steady, ensure that your headset is off before trying
again.

This is what I did:
1. open the headset by following these steps:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Jabra-BT-350-Disassembly-and-Repair/
2. measure the voltage of the battery. If it is too low, the internal charger circuit may not like it. Mine was 2.6v.
3. Charge the battery "manually" by connecting to 3 serially connected rechargeable batteries (final voltage should be around 3.7v). Three NiMH AA batteries are fine.
4. Reassemble and hope your headset is back to business.
