Have you ever tried to charge the flipcam with de iphone charger? With the first generation of the Flip Mino HD it worked very well but now i bought the second generation and it doesn't work. It always freeze with the red light turned on at the back. Does anyone have ever tried charging it with the iphone charger and can tell me that it worked?

I had the same problem. Here are the steps I took to fix it.
1. Adjust the power options on your laptop to ensure it does not sleep/hiberate ever.
2. Reset the camcorder by inserting a paperclip into the hole in the
tripod mount. Hold the paperclip in there for about seven seconds.
3. Then immediately plug the flip into the cpu.
4. You may not see anything besides the little blinking white light on
the USB arm for a while (about 30 minutes maybe) but leave it in.
5. Eventually it should spring to life and show the recharging battery
on the little screen (the Flip Share program may start too.)
6. Leave it charging until the little white light stops flashing - full charge about 3 hours.
7. You can then remove the flip and change the power settings back to normal.

At least the following works on my first generation Flip Ultra camcorder (not Mino). Remove battery, put it back next morning. After that be careful not to touch "on" slider switch on the side of the camcorder while Flip logo is still on the screen. I mean turn the device on by using the slider switch and do not touch that switch again until Flip logo on the screen is gone. Doing the opposite (trying to use the "on" switch again while device is still "booting" and Flip logo is on the screen) will lead to the Flip Ultra freeze.

UNIT: ultraHD
PROBLEM:
I just had this problem: I turned it on, started to record a video, but it hung up on frame #1, with the record red light stuck on. And I couldn't do any of the following: restart the recording, play already recorded videos, turn it off, connect to PC.
SOLUTION:
I removed the battery for about 30 seconds, then replaced it. my UltraHD flip works great now.
SOURCE: my flip mino HD has been charging for 3 hours and
Is it plugged in directly or with a USB extension cable? Some cheaper cables are not sufficient to charge it.
SOURCE: ok i got the flip
Same thing happend to me dude, all u gotta do u look at the bottom of the flip and there is a tripod stand hole, and in that hole is an even smaller hole with a tiny *** button in it, so take a papper clip and bend it straight, then stick it in the little hole and u will here a click like the button got pushed, and just hold it for 5-8 seconds and then release and do it again for 5-8 seconds then plug it in to ur computer, wait over night and ul be video tapen sh*t in no time. :)
