I just purchased the fugi z33 wp, I have plugged the battery into the charger the correct way. When the charger is first plugged in the amber light comes on but then it goes out after a few seconds. I thought the battery was charged from the mfg but it still wont turn on my camera? Help!!!

Amber usually indicates that the batter is charging. If it never changes to green, you may need a new battery. Try taking out the battery and plugging in the charger. Sometimes a dead battery can actually block the power from getting to the device.

A red light indicates the charger is charging the battery, an amber light means it has switched from fast rate charging to trickle to keep the battery topped off, and green would mean the battery is completely charged. But don't be fooled waiting for green, many times the charger will only be on green for a moment before changing to amber and keeping the battery topped off.

Flashing can be a sign of a problem on some chargers.

A rapid flashing red can on some chargers indicate a bad or shorted battery, or a bad battery contact in the charger itself. If in question, try a different battery on the charger or compare with another charger to determine if the blinking is normal.

Best regards.

Ok, lets start slowly, do you have both a new battery and a new battery charger? If both attempt to use your old battery with the new charger. Also could be a bad charger or a shorted out battery...
Good Luck

No. The camera does not contain charging circuitry. You need to use the supplied charger (or equivalent).

Hi there!
When you charge your PSP with the charger (USB/wall) does the power light turn to amber? If it does not, It's possible that your charger (USB/wall) is already broken. You may need to purchase a new one.
If it does, you may have either a loose power switch (which happens on my PSP Go) or you may need to have your unit checked with a qualified technician.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
This might be of big help logged on to this link : http://www.fujifilmusa.com/support/ServiceSupportContact.do

they do have the repair options and where you can sent that item for repair.

Dirty Contacts

On the edge of your battery and inside your camera's battery compartment you'll find several small metal bits. These are known as contacts, and as the name implies, they enable the transfer of energy from the battery to your digital camera. Over time and with regular usage, the contacts can accumulate skin oils, dirt and metal residue, resulting in poor energy transfer between battery and camera or charging dock and battery. Clean all metal contacts of visible debris using a microfiber cloth. For tougher corrosion, use the eraser at the end of a pencil.

Faulty Charger

Before you run out to replace your camera's battery, plug in your charger without the battery mounted. On most models, a red or amber light will appear indicating that it's ready to accept a battery for charging. If the light doesn't appear, it indicates a faulty charger. Ensure that the power cord is fully connected to the back of the charger, and then inspect it for any tears, fraying or other damage. To purchase a replacement charger, visit the place of purchase or contact the manufacturer.

Corroded Contacts

Leaving your camera untouched for a long while with its battery inside is a recipe for corrosion. Over time, leakage from the inside of the battery can dry and harden onto the contacts of both the battery and the camera. Though light corrosion can be removed in the same way as oil and dirt residue, severe corrosion may cause permanent damage to the metal. Buff the corrosion away with a small piece of aluminum foil and a drop of vinegar. If this doesn't work, the battery will require replacement.

Extreme Temperatures

Placing your battery on the charger after a night near an open window or an afternoon in a hot car will usually yield a poor charge, even if the charger indicates that the unit is full. Once placed inside the camera, it will deplete quickly after light use. Storing your camera or battery in extremely hot or cold temperatures will lessen the unit's energy discharge over time. Always store your battery in a dry, relatively cool area to protect your battery's delicate internal parts. If it has recently been exposed to extreme temperatures, let it warm or cool to room temperature before charging.

Exhausted Battery

If you're an avid photographer and have been relying upon the same battery for several years, chances are your unit is nearing exhaustion. Most lithium-ion units become exhausted after thousands of cycles. When placed on the charger, the indicator light may remain red or amber, which means that it's not recognizing the battery. It may also display a green light after a very short time, indicating a full charge. However, the battery will still deplete rapidly if inserted in the camera. Consult your manufacturer or visit a battery retailer to purchase a replacement unit.

Nope. Take the battery out of the camera and stick it in the charger (camera comes with one in the box). The USB is strictly image transfer only.

LED indicator for your laptop model
Steady Blue = Battery charged and AC adapter plugged in
Amber = Battery charging and AC adapter plugged in
Slow Amber Flash = <10% battery life
Fast amber flash = 3% remaining TPC will automatically go into hibernate
Slow flashing amber Adapter plugged in = Overheat condition

Do you have a multimeter to test the battery that you are using? check the output current of the battery.

did you buy the battery brand new or used?

brand new, deffectibe motherboard, bad charger or bad dc socket.

used, change it.
