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.

Dec FW does not have a battery problem.
It may take 3 or 4 charge<-> use cycles to settle down.
Not mentioned before: Be sure the charger is plugged into an outlet that is always powered ON
USB ports on computers (or the whole computer) can go to sleep to save power :/ . Light switches turn off some table lamps
Don't trust that the the battery plug was seated tightly from the manufacturer
Seat it yourself (instructions are in the documentation).
