Try hooking up to the USB port on the computer. If the screen comes up, see if it shows it is charging.

The green light on the adapter should go out once the unit is charged.

Did it work before?

Dean786 , the battery indicator is not always accurate. A typical full charge should take about 2-3 hours, and should give you at least 3-4 hours of playtime with power saving features.

Also, try extracting, repairing, then re-flash your original player's firmware. Sometimes it might be some firmware issues.

Solved. Nothing wrong with it, I extracted the firmware and took a look at it in s1res. I had a full battery all the time!!

I guess you cant really tell, But ive modded my Mp4 so its myPod and the battery is green so its easier to tell if its full

Stupid default batterys :P lol
