A couple things to try:

1. Use an AC adapter that allows you to plug the standard USB connector into it and the micro USB into the 650. Or just try a charger for a newer cellular phone that has a micro USB connector.

2. Try a different USB port or better still plug it into a desktop. If the laptop battery or power is below a certain level it might not charge the 650. Ensure the laptop does NOT go into sleep mode.

If you see the charge light come on then you are probably getting a charge. If no light comes on there is not enough current to charge the 650 or there is another problem. If the light comes on, let it charge for at least a couple of hours then try to turn the 650 on.
