Throw the Black/Decker away. I am going to. This is my second blender form them that has done the nonresponsive red light blinking thing. I figured that the first one was a lemon; however, it must be that Black/Decker is only concerned about meeting walmarts demands on price. Black & Decker's saying should be - Who needs quality when you can pay less the first time.
I fixed mine by putting it in the freezer overnight.
It has not stopped working since and I use it a lot.
I suspect that this reset the overheat sensor, assuming this is a bi-metal type, but not sure why this worked or how but it solved the problem. :-)I fixed mine by putting it in the freezer overnight.

Unplug the blender. Use a baking soda and vinegar solution to clean the metal contacts on the bottom of the metal blender blade. (You will see a small circular inverted washer looking thing). Use the solution on the main blender unit also. (You will see a small circular metal piece in the center) Scrub them both with the solution and wipe. These seem to be some type of sensors. I then replugged the blender back in and it worked for me!! Good luck!
