I posted in the new members forum about this but hoping more posts will find someone who can help me lol. I purchased the 510 - T and am trying to charge it, the light on the usb is green and stays green even if the battery is dead, the light on the charger piece for the wall is red and stays red. Nothing flashes when i put the battery on the usb part. I have had it plugged in to the computer charging for almost an hour and it still has no charge. any advice on what this could be. Ive only had it for two days.

There should be flashing of the LED on the battery to indicate charging has started, and the light on the charger should turn from green to red if it's charging properly.

Dirt on the threads can cause this. Try unplugging everything and cleaning the connections on the charger and the battery. How I do this is wet a cotton bud with isopropyl alcohol and wipe the inside of the battery connector (making sure to clean the thread) and as much of the charger connector as you can get to easily. Allow to dry before plugging in and trying again. If this doesn't work you could have a bad charger which you should take up with whoever you bought it off.
