Casio Exilim works on cradle, wont turn on when off cradle

No. The EX-Z60 does not charge the battery through the USB port. You need to use the supplied charger. Alternatively, if you have the EX-Z60DX cradle, you can plug the camera into the cradle and plug the cradle into a wall outlet. However, using the cradle will not let you charge the camera through the USB port either.

have you made sure that the cord is plugged into the cradle fully? if not, push it in =) after that try again. I had the same problemo with my exilim casio, and it worked for me =)

I found this while trying to solve my exact same problem.. It worked for me after about 7 times. Some other people on the site said it worked for them after 20 times. Good luck!

My NP 20 gave me the flashing red light of death and I got Casio to replace it. Then I had the same problem with my second NP 20 so I dug around for a way to fix it and I found the following advice on a site called FixYa. It worked instantly and I didn't risk ruining my battery.

I had the same problem as this.
what i did was...
i kept putting the battery on the charger then took it off as soon as the red light came on.
i did this about 6 times.
doing this puts a bit of charge in the battery each time before the charger starts to flash.
after the battery as got enough charge in it it can start to charge.
hope this helps.

Normally changing the battery solves this.Make sure you replace it with a good quality new battery and make sure it goes in the right way around as when you get in a flap it often ends up in the wrong way!

make sure that you didn't put the battery in backwards. It can be done and obviously, it won't charge

you need anew battery...try ebay or battery planet.com for a replacement.

Juat wondering if you have a casio exilim ex-s2 that you would want to sell for parts? Or if you know anyone that has one?

Mine does something similar to this and I take it off the cradle, take out the battery, put the battery back in, and then place the camera back on the cradle. Hope this helps.

sorry its a casio proprietary end that goes in to camera

I have a EX-Z600 and i tried updating the firmware to a 1.03, as i did the 1.02. Doing exactly what the instructions say. Now after i placed the update in the root directory and taking the camera off the cradle i was pressing the menu button and pressed the on button to get the program update page but the camera screen would only show version 1.02 then it would turn on. Why does it do that? I have also had the problem, since i got the camera, that sometimes the camera wont turn on unless i take out the battery and put it back in, why is that? Can anybody please help me.
