Even after several hours of charging, battery icon still shows low battery.

The battery or the charger may be malfunctioning. Please verify that the computer recognizes that the power cord is plugged into the computer. There should be a plug icon over the battery in your lower right hand corner. If it doesn't show the plug icon, and the battery is draining your charger is likely bad. Otherwise your battery is more than likely going. If your model is several years old, I'm afraid to say that after constant (or even semi-constant) use the battery will die after 2-3 years and need to either be replaced or used less frequently.

Ifthe laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be wornout. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cyclesand will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up atall. ORThe battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected thebattery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. Ifthe battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to bereplaced.

If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the light operates as follows:

• Solid green: The battery is charging.
  
  
• Flashing green: The battery is almost fully charged.
  
  

If the computer is running on a battery, the light operates as follows:

• Off: The battery is adequately charged (or the computer is turned off).
  
  
• Flashing orange: The battery charge is low.
  
  
• Solid orange: The battery charge is critically low.

Looks like the AC adaptor is faulty.

Try to restore it. If that doesn't work you will need to reload the 2.2.1 firmware. You can get it at modmyi.com

Call Flip support, problems are happening to too many people, contact Flip support, if they cannot help, contact MacWorld or other online reviewers and let them know.

Are you sure the cable you are using provides both data and power to the device? Some cables are data only and will not charge the device despite appearing so.

Has it held a charge before? If this is a new device and has not yet ran down then charged fully again yet, then I would return it.

Found out it was a low battery. We had charged it for several hours, but it was apparently low. It is supposed to show the low battery symbol, but it never did. We put it new AA batteries instead of the power pack and it worked just fine. Thanks

you need a new batt.

go to any local phone store to get one.

Change your AC charger.
It's NOT charging "When the laptop is plugged into the AC, the power meter in windows tells me that the power source is still batteries, and the battery level drops by about 1% every few hours"
That's the reason why: "battery has completely died"
If you do not change it you'll continue to "still it gives me the same low battery indication and will not turn on. "

Hi,

There could be three (3) reasons why the display shows the battery icon at the top left side of the LCD display:
1. weak/undercharge/discharge batteries;
2. dirty/corroded/loose battery contacts/terminals; and/or
3. internal fault with the electronic sensing for battery level/state.

Corrective measures would require:
a. replace/recharge batteries. The rechargeable batteries need at least 12 hours of charging time;
b. clean, scrape, tighten (need to bend a little more towards the battery terminals) the spring/contacts of the battery holder;
c. (on the internal fault) your best bet might be to seek the services of a professional electronic technician since this would need familiarity with electronic components, their circuitry and diagnosis, perhaps a bit of soldering and the use of a DVM.

On the other hand, if the "low" is the "L" icon at the bottom right side of the display, this would indicate that the radio's transmit power setting (H/L - high/low). Transmit power level can only be changed in Channels 1-7 & 15-22. The radio will also auto change to lo power when batteries are weak.To switch to high power, press on the Menu button thrice or till "Pr" icon shows, press on the up/down to select H or L. To save & exit, momentary press the PTT.

Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
