The manual says: Confirm all connections. Off is selected for Charge by computer in the setup menu. When charging by connecting the camera to a computer, battery charging stops when the camera is turned off. When charging by connecting the camera to a computer, battery charging stops if the computer is suspended (sleeping), and the camera may turn off. Depending upon computer specifications, settings, and status, it may be impossible to charge the battery inserted into the camera via computer connection. So be sure you are charging the correct way. Best way to do is to remove the battery and put it on the charger for a couple of hours. If you have the battery out, you can check all connections of battery and in the camera. In trouble shooting, more than a full page is dedicated only to the battery and the method of charging. The manual is still online, but should also on the CD you got with the camera.
GoPro battery dead. Won't charge in the camera. No charge light comes on when you connect the camera to a USB. There's the scenario. Good tip on the GoPro battery shocking technique posted by Rabscuttle above. I discovered that my vehicle USB cigarette lighter adapter drains the GoPro battery when it's turned off. With the GoPro battery completely dead, the camera will not charge it. If the GoPro battery voltage falls below a certain point, the camera's circuitry is set to turn off the internal charger as if there's no battery in the camera at all. The recommended solution is to buy an external charger, which is able to charge a completely dead battery. The battery shocking method saves that expense.
Connecting a 9 volt battery to the GoPro battery for 30 seconds can give the battery enough charge to allow the camera to recognize the battery. A 9 volt battery from a smoke detector, a pair of jumper leads, and two straight pins is what I used to get my GoPro battery charged enough to allow the camera to recognize the battery and begin charging.
Please make sure that the Battery in the Camera is fully charged. Please check if the issue is with the battery charger. Make sure that the Charge Lamp in the Battery Charger is lit when connected to the Wall outlet. You can try recharging the battery pack for almost 6 hours as initial charging. If you've another battery pack, try using the same to check if the issue is with the Camera or with the battery. You can also try turning on the Camera by connecting the optional ACL-S5K AC Adapter. This Adapter can be used for turning on the Camera, it cannot be used to charge the battery pack. For charging the battery in the Camera, the supplied battery charged needs to be used. If the Camera is not turning on using both the AC Adapter and new battery, then the Camera may require service.

It takes over 7 hours to charge, so did you leave it charge overnight?
But while the original battery is chargable, disposable replacements are not. Here is what the manual says:
{ ... The supplied battery is a Li-ion battery. It charges while in the
camera using the supplied charger. The camera can also use a Duracell
CP1 disposable Li battery, which has the same form factor as the
supplied Li-ion cell. HP claim the Li-ion cell will provide power for
approximately 200 shots under "average" use and 100 shots with
"extensive use of the LCD and flash".
Charge time for the battery using
the supplied charger and in-camera charging is 5-7 hrs for a fully
depleted battery. In the optional docking station, charging takes
2.5-3.5 hrs and using the optional rapid charger, charging takes 1-2
hrs. ... }
That battery is not good.if the battery have warranty please give back and get new one. after that the problem continues, The charging control ic of the camera may be damaged
Charging LED Red LED is on = Being charged Red LED is blinking = Charging error Green LED is on = Charging is complete
● If the charge indicator blinks as red, it indicates a battery charging error. - The battery is not properly inserted - The terminals of battery are dirty or damaged If the battery is inserted properly and the charge indicator continues to blink, contact the nearest Samsung Camera Service Center.
If the charging LED doesn't turn to green could mean a signal that the battery is bad or can't charge 100% anymore = too old, needs a new battery. Hope this helps.
Not all cameras can charge batteries.
CAUTION: Rechargeable batteries must never be used in the HP Photosmart 210 and 215 series digital cameras. The overload protection and control circuits are not designed to handle the kind of power intensity delivered by rechargeable batteries.
If the camera is a model that does charge batteries, ensure the batteries are rechargeable:
The only acceptable rechargeable batteries for HP Photosmart cameras are NiMH cells.
Neither lithium nor alkaline cells are rechargeable, and they will not be charged in the camera.
The camera must detect the type and condition of the batteries
The camera will only charge batteries when it detects the batteries are rechargeable and in good condition.
New rechargeable batteries, and/or batteries than have been unused for a long time will not be recognized as good batteries.
If the camera fails to charge NiMH batteries, charge them in an external charger once, then use them in the camera. If this does not correct the problem, the cells are old and/or damaged and new cells must be purchased.
