If you actually mean the power light, that is supposed to blink when you plug it in and it is charging.

If you mean the one in the viewfinder, that is an error condition, and an error message is supposed to show up in the back image display viewer.
There may not be enough battery voltage left to display, so plug it into the AC adapter to be sure.

    Thanks for the help.

    If I remove the battery, the red video light blinking stops. As soon as I insert the battery, the blinking starts again. The camera is not responding (switching on ) when it is plugged to AC and the on switch activated.

    Sorry, with out an error message in the display, I don't know what it could be that is wrong. But the red light should not be flashing.

    i had same problem with 2 of these cameras, would you believe. 1 remedied itself after 1.5 years of no using it. I turned it back on today and it worked. I am going to do a firm upgrade on the other camera.

My hp photosmart r707 keeps saying the card is unreadable, buti just used it yesterday. i cant reset it either. it wont let me and the computer wont read it

Sounds like you're connecting things like your camera or your card in a card reader and just yanking them out of your computer without using the "safely remove hardware" icon at the bottom right of your computer screen.

Photosmart R727 charging blinks never stop, camera never responds

Remove the battery, connect the camera to the charger and try the camera. If it works, it means you need a new battery.

My HP Photosmart R707 Camera not reading memory cards

If the memory card you are using is an SDHC designated card, your camera is probably not compatible with it. SDHC cards are usually 4gb and larger. Check the card for the SDHC label.

Try to connect it to the charger. If it works while connected to charger, you need to replace the battery.
