For the 505, how did you try to charge it? If you used the USB port that may be the trouble. I recommend you try again with an appropriate charger connected to the barrel connector "DC IN" port.

If you don't have a suitable one handy, a Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) charger will do the trick.

Cheers,
Bob
