Try resetting again via the pinhole in the tripod mount then wait 5 seconds. Then plug the Flippin Mino into a powered USB port of your PC or laptop for 24 hours. Yes, leave it there for no less than 24 hours. After that, try to turn it on and it should work. If it doesn't turn on, reset it again via pinhole, wait 5 seconds, and try to turn it on. If that still doesn't work, get a hammer, then.... I had the same problem. Try resetting again via the pinhole in the tripod mount then wait 5 seconds.

I was able to reset the camera ONCE, and when it happened again, I again tried to reset it- no workee. Just the endless blinking and no working. I called tech support and she was friendly and tried to be helpful, but alas, since it is out of warranty, they could not help me further. Don't know what to do now except pitch it. Really disappointed. Same problem here. I was able to reset the camera ONCE, and when it happened again, I again tried to reset it- no workee. Just the endless blinking and no working.

Interestingly enough, my Flip has quit working once again. I've tried the pin trick again, left the camera plugged in overnight, plus everything else that has been suggested. Upon getting through to customer support, they said there's nothing they can do since it is out of its one-year warranty. I'm quite frustrated by this, as I've probably only shot 15-20 videos total. Needless to say, I'm taking my time in researching another pocket camera to replace my Flip. Have you had any luck with support? What are your plans moving forward? Dave: Thanks for stopping by.

That should happen before the first anniversary of the camera. Then see if tech support will help you. Wait til it is not seen by the computer when you plug it in.
