1) Remove the SD Card and see if that helps cure the lack of charge
Not using a SD card.

2) remove and re-seat the battery plug inside.
Already did that. Didn't help.

Quote:
3) Observe the charge indicators (LED and Icon), If missing, the cord,connector or charger could be at fault [not as likely, since you indicated a rapid discharge]
LED and charging icons show up and work.

4) Failed charge level detection circuit. If you have a voltmeter available, read the battery voltage (3.7 VDC +/- 5% is a normal range).
Won't be able to test until I get home. Don't have either my PP or a multimeter on hand.


Don't know if this helps. I left it charging overnight again and this morning the battery read 3 bars (out of 4). I held the reset button for 10 seconds and hit the power button. Device reboots and I see 4 bars. I turn it off and turn it back on and it only reads 3 bars.

Going to reflash to previous FW tonight if battery voltage checks out.
