The camera ran out of charge and now when i put it in the charger it wont switch on or charge up and the charge light is flashing intermittently. Thanks

short in charger .

Put the battery in the charger until the light turns green. Eh?

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.

I had the exact same problem so I went searching for an answer. Here's what I found and it really did work. I had to do it about 7 times... and I read others had to do it about 20 times. But worked for them as well. Good luck!!

For others with the same problem (flashing red light won't go off)...make sure you FIRMLY PUSH the battery down onto the charger and engage the latches. Simply resting the battery on the charger will not work.

This camera not charged via PC, you can charge the battery only with wall charger(comes with box).When camera is plugged to PC, you can´t use it as a camera, only as a memory card.You can watch your stuff in PC( PC recognise a camera as a flash memory, no more).

So, this is normal..Charge your camera with wall charger(Full charge Red light not flash!, if light flashed camera is charging) Unplug and use as usually!

If the charge lamp flashes red it means the battery is faulty or the battery is loaded in the charger incorrectly. Take the battery out and check if the contacts are dirty - wipe them with a dry cloth and try charging again. If the error continues, you have a faulty battery and need to buy a new one. I found a link for cheap replacement batteries at http://www.mymemory.co.uk/compatible-battery/Digital_Cameras/Casio/Casio+Exilim+EX-Z8?gb=1&prodid=12068
You may find it cheaper elsewhere, but these guys include delivery. Hope that helps.

my finepixz3 got wet. but after a few days it worked! but when the battery ran out it wont charge. is it the battery? it turned on a few sec when its in the cradle but it wont last after a few seconds it would turned off. is it the battery or the camera itself?

have been having the same problem. Just pulled the lead out straight and stretched it and now it is charging red light on constantly. May have been a kink in the lead?

It may be the battery - try using one of your spare batteries, see if that makes a difference.
