I had one of these as well and since they don't support them any more its best just to trash them or give them to someone who wants to tinker with it. It would cost more to have it fixed than its worth.
1) Put your Flip Ultra back into the pakaging box
2) Keep it safely inside your fridge (make sure the fridge isnt on or the best is an old fridge model)
3) Scratch your head and scratch your nuts in the same time for thirty second
4) Turn on your Flip camera, press the red button for setting, and change it to indonesian language. If no indonesian language in the setting, shake it 3 times. It surely has.
5) Jumping around on your parent bed.
6) Sing Britney Spears song and film it yourself.
7) Press stop button
8) Post it on youtube.
I hope this will fix ya problem. Have a nice day :)
You can try to reset it. You can do this by taking out the batteries. You should then see a flat, kind of square piece of metal
with a small black piece sticking up from it. Take a pencil or something similar, and push
the black piece down wait a few minutes then try turning your flip back
on.
At least the following works on my first generation Flip Ultra camcorder (not Mino). Remove battery, put it back next morning. After that be careful not to touch "on" slider switch on the side of the camcorder while Flip logo is still on the screen. I mean turn the device on by using the slider switch and do not touch that switch again until Flip logo on the screen is gone. Doing the opposite (trying to use the "on" switch again while device is still "booting" and Flip logo is on the screen) will lead to the Flip Ultra freeze.
Flip support helped me solve this problem. Their procedure is to take the batteries out of the camera and leave it sit for 48 hours. After 48 hours, put different batteries into the camera and turn it on. Your problem should be solved. It worked for me the first time and now I currently doing it for a second time. Waiting for 48 is no fun, but at least it works and fixing it is not expensive. No explanation was given to me about the problem.
are you putting the batteries in right? this has happend to me. take the batteries out and lightely blow in the sockets, to make sure that any dust that is blocking the connection between the battery and the camera is cleared.
For the Flip Ultra - Take out batteries you should see a flat somewhat square piece of metal with a small black piece sticking up from it. Take a pencil and push the black piece down wait a few minutes then try turning your flip back on.
I took the battery out and then connected to the computer and It recognized it. So I was able to upload videos. I have three flip camera, only one has this glitch. I am going to try the remove battery for 48 hours route so to restore it to how it used to work.JMR
