Welcome to Fixya

Looks like we already have a mainboard issue here. The blinking light should tell you that unit is charging or recording. If you are not doing anything and the light just blinks right away the moment you turn on the unit then the problem is already the board.

Plug it in to a USB port, it charges through the USB,

Finally I solved it!!!!
Situation: My Computer (MAC And PC) wasn't recognizing the FLIP ULTRA HD, because it has a corrupted file, but couldn't format because there was no communication between camera and computer

Solution:
1. Charge your batteries until get the FULLY CHARGED icon (Green Battery)
2. then remove the batteries without unplugging the USB 3. Voila...computer recognize the USB
4. Format the Camcorder with the Following tutorial: http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoFlip/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=763c871b45fc4b20b5a671b24c909

Same here. Wouldn't turn on but when I plugged it into PC for download it did light up saying, "connected." At first the computer did not recognize the device and asked me to re-plug it in. I pulled it out and lo and behold it turned on when I tried the power button. I then plugged it back into the PC and it is currently off loading my videos.

Since you have already tried the reset then you are done, nothing else can be done to fix this issue, it is a battery problem The batteries are integrated to the internal circuit CCD board and are not replaceable. If I had the camera I would do my best to take it apart and find out what type of battery it uses and then go to eBay and find the correct cell type and replace it. But unless you are very mechanically minded I would not recommend the trouble.

hi try here and hope it helps https://languagecenter.cla.umn.edu/downloads/equipment/Flip_UserGuide.pdf

OK, thanks for telling us. Twice.

Means you are less likely to drop it, I suppose.

check the batteries, if its not that, then make sure it dry on the inside, and if its still causing issues then some of the capacitors in it have gone bad and need to be replaced (cheaper to get a new flip due to surface mounting of components)
