So guys i had this problem too. Ok so looks like some have a usb port only to tranfer the photos off not to charge. These ones have small screws and you need to just change the batteries. BUT if you have the newer version like me then plug the usb charger in and turn the camera upside down. You will find the smallest on off switch in the world on the right side. Switch across and it will start charging. They make these toys far to complicated!

Please make sure that the master power switch on the bottom of the device is placed into the 'off' position for the device to charge. If the device still is not charging the USB cable or battery may be faulty. The Troubleshooting page may be able to help you further.

But it is said in the manual, the master need to be at the "on" position for charging.

It will only charge off their usb cable, on any other micro usb lead the part that plugs into the camera is just to short. So it fits in but won't start charging.

It’s not rechargeable. Remove the screw from the side of the camera and remove the orange silicone. Replace the 2x AA Batteries. Manual is incorrect

The master power switch has to be on for it to charge and mine, I plugged it into the wall with the cable and the adapter, which is from another thing, and I haven’t seem to be the camera has not been working I plugged it in. It still works but doesn’t charge.

Also having the same trouble, plug it in to charge and it says 'turn on the battery switch before charging'. It says this whether i have switched underneath to either I or O. Any ideas please? Has anyone solved this problem?

if master Switch is in the on position and still not charging… make sure you are not using a fast charger plug and use the cable that came with the camera if possible or try another charging cord

That should solve charging issue.
