I don't think you can charge via Computer USB.. you need to use the Charger plug that comes with the camera. Plug it up into the wall.. You should charge it overnight, but i know you don't have that kinda time
The AC power adapter may charge the battery. Make sure that the poser of the camera is off and then insert the battery before starting.
1. Connect one end of the adapter converter to the end of the AC power adapter. Make sure camera is off.
2. Insert the other end of the adapter converter to the PC/AV terminal on the camera.
3. Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into a wall outlet. The status LED lights green when charging is started and lights off when charging is completed. It lights red when a charging error has occurred.
I have the same problem. Sanyo advised this charger is no longer made. Other than eBay, Radio Shack has charger that will work with the battery in the VPC-T700 and priced at $30. Walmart has a universal charger for numerous devises with varying connections, also priced at $30. I did not try the Walmart option; however, the packaging does list Sanyo products are compatable.
I had this same problem with my Sanyo. I went on E Bay and purchased a new battery.. It was about 8 dollars and shipped from China. But it worked when I put the new battery in and charged it.
Radio Shack
I have a Xacti HD2000 and it shipped with a Sanyo VAR-G9 adaptor. The RadioShack replacement is a P/N 273-1696.
There is a switch that must be set to +5V on the unit, and you need to match the assorted tips that come with the unit to the one you need for your camera. On my HD2000, the "+" side is on the tip, but this is on an image on the back of the AC adaptor
Look for a diagram on the back of the adaptor you have.
There will be two diamond boxes one on the left with a '-' and one on the right with a "+" and the diamonds will be connected to semi circles. The inside semicircle is the "Tip".
In my case (Sanyo Xacti HD2000)the "+" is connected to the dot in the center, so I have to align the "+" symbol with the word "tip" on the end of the Radio Shack cable.
(If this gets plugged in backwards... you can fry the camera).
Hopefully someone at Radio Shack can help you set this up properly. That way you don't have to mail-order and wait long.
