Have you tried resetting the camera? Hold down the power button and the red button simultaneously until the camera shuts off (takes about 10 seconds). Then, just press the power button again and the camera should turn back on. I had the same problem; when I pressed the red button to stop recording, the camera froze, and the red light remained on. I tried resetting it like this, and it seemed to work.
You are da man! After frustrating days trying everything, this worked. The key is the ten second hold on both buttons. Thanks amigo!
thank god for google and this answer... i tried holding the power button for 30 econds, the record button for 30 seconds and i did try both togethe but not for the full 10+ seconds. i think it was a bit over 10 seconds but it may have just seemed that way because the camera was so hot from being on an hour (not at home when this happened) that i was totally freaked out.
I had the same problem with my flip mino hd. 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.
I rested it, and I plugged it to the computer for more than three hours. nothing happen but the light still blinking.
I had the same problem. Try popping the battery cover off, removing the battery, then replacing it. This worked for me.
You have to **** it and then it will turn on
I pressed the red bottom and the power bottom simultaneously and it did work. Thank you so much luminescence whoever you are.
