I just charged this for 20 hours on Friday,the battery icon showed charging and then the plug before I unplugged it. I read an hour this morning and it showed full charge,then this afternoon when I pushed it to unlock it just beeped and flashed the red light at me.
I played around with it and plugged it back in, and it did start up OK, I have it on charge again- it shows one bar down. But now I'm worried about this one starting to act up too. I already had to send back the one I received for Christmas because it froze up and died on me.
My daughter is begging me to buy her one, but I'm a little concerned about doing that now with it locking up and paint issues-this one is also bubbling up all over and paint flaking off{its a white one}.
I have not installed the latest firmware so its still running on the Decembers.
