  • fuuuuuck you fuckin @sofiamedia

  • this fuckin shit doesn't work @sofiamedia peace of shit

  • All the buttons but the power arent working on mine. I've tried this and it didn't work. Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

  • @REA00002 Wow. No. but @krzchOlstyn was able to find some information on the CISCO forum. you might want to look there to see if anyone has had the same problem.

  • sweet :)

  • @KrzychOlsztyn Thanks :-) Nice job making pancakes. I make them every morning for my daughters cause I love to spoil them with yummy food :-)

  • @sofiamedia I've just fixed that blinking during recording. CISCO forum . You need to keep right arrow ant trash bin button together, and then press power button. I was looking how to fix it for months! and that is so easy. Tomorrow I'll do a test. For now I've blocked my pancake video. I think I'll make new one with better quality witout pulsing light in the background. as tha's kinda su@ to watch it all the time during video. Regards :)

  • @KrzychOlsztyn cool. I can see that might be a problem. Thanks for posting the fix! Wish there was some way to highlight fixes in the comment section...

  • i dropped mine once and today it finally froze, but this video helped a lot thanks! By the way if anybody didn't know flip went out of business. I can imagine why, their cameras aren't really built the best.

  • @PerplexityStudios Your welcome! I am glad it helped. Flip was bought by a huge company who decided to stop making them because it didn't fit with their product line. Sad day for people like me who like to carry a sturdy cheap HD video camera around.

  • Thank you SOOOO much!!! Went into this thinking it's just another BS video, but No! It actually worked!!!

  • @Leon14000 Sometimes I have BS vidoes but my tutorials are helpful and I am glad you agree. I will be posting a tutorial this week on creating an iphone app (lesson 1) And I also have a tutoria on taking apart my imac.. just need to edit it :-)

  • even when i plugged my camera into the usb slot and pressed the power button, my camera didnt turn on

  • lol doggie!

  • oh. another thing, i plugged it in WITH the battery. maybe its because I'm using the flip batteries!

  • what the fudge... ;DDDDDD YAYYYY YIPPIII! i tried it again twice and it worked. you just saved me 100 bucks going to Final Cut Pro. thanks so much. this video saved my life.

  • UGH....when i dropped mine, it went fuzzy for a long while. Then, i tried this. it decided it didn't work :( I'm sssssoooooooooooooooooooooooo sad...SOMEONE SLAP ME IN THE FACE I CANT BELEIVE THIS

  • I talked all that shit and did it again..It works..How bout that!!

  • Shit doesnt work. I HATE FLIP...2nd Camera that has just died for no fucking reason..Im sick of bullshit companies selling bullshit products. I've waisted 350.00+ on these piece of shit cameras. Im FUCKING DONE!

  • You absolute legend! I thought It all :D

  • WORKED! And mine never even got dropped, was just giving me a blackscreen and if you held the record button when you turned on some weird rainbow screen thing.

    THIS FIXED IT THANK YA

  • Thanks!!! This really works!

  • @adyann417 Great! I hope you are making some nice videos :-)

  • @mr8572carl3 Sorry about that :-(

  • @sofiamedia EVERYBODY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, is CHANGE TEH BATTERYS (take em out and back in

  • nope still dead

  • @thraushtins Sorry about that. I was told to stay away from my flip today... my imac and macbook pro hard drives both died yesterday.. friends told me something about a retrograde....I am blaming that. I will post the video when I take the imac apart... not willing to take my flip apart...

  • Hey dude my camera won't work (it's the same as yours) it turns on but none of the buttons work anymore :S do you know what to do?

  • @WolfGameWalkthroughs Nope. My flips have not had that kind of problems.

  • THANK YOU!!!

  • @ReinaPink6 Your Welcome :-)  Hope you are taking some awesome videos!

  • @sofiamedia i tried what you told me to do and it wont turn on. also the little silver ring thingy in between the record button and the directional pad fell out is this important? please reply. thank you

  • @KurlyNinja I have two flips and the little silver ring fell out of one and it is still working fine. I am pretty sure that is just a decorative bit. As for it not turning on, read through the comments. There are a few people who have also listed reasons which seemed to cause the flip not to work (full disk, full trash on disk that hasn't been emptied.. you access the flip disk while it is hooked up to your computer) Contact Flip too. Good luck!

  • not for me

  • @GamingFantazy I am sorry your flip is not working. Look at the other comments, some users have posted things that have helped them get their flip working again.

  • Thanks that really helped! :D

  • Thank you - I had plugged my Flip into my TV to watch my latest video of my granddaughter when the camera started making weird noises and then completely flaked out. Nothing worked but I tried your "trick" and it is back to normal. Again, many thanks.

  • @implink I am glad your Flip is working. I have never had my camera make weird noises, I am usually just dropping it all over town. Have an awesome week!

  • good morning

    I am writing to you because I like your tutorial on this and my questions is if my Flip Ultra does not charge with in 6 hours while using my laptop windows vista what should i do after that and for the Eneloop batteries I have never heard about those before now where can i get those from ?

    thank you

  • @stonygurl I sent you a message but I thought everyone should know that you can get Eneloop batteries at stores that sell cameras and camera equipment. I would buy the external charger to charge the batteries. Don't rely on your computer to charge them. Good luck!

  • worked for me so thank u so much my daughter will be so happy

  • @Peakdistrictonline I love making my daughter's happy and I'm glad you could make her day!

  • you saved my life and my marriage lol cause I was freaking out over my camera not working

  • @chellebaldy Never realized I could save marriages with a flip tutorial :-) Have fun taking videos!

  • the only thing my flip camera is doing is that when i push the power button, the red light comes on 4 a second and turns off, ohh, and the screen doesnt show anything

  • @karpic64 First try contacting flip. Then look below.. there is one girl who had something similar on her flip and it ended up having to do with too much trash on the drive.... you can access the flip drive on your computer and empty the trash.... I wish there was a rubber flip so that I coudl drop it all the time without having any problems...

  • my flip turns on but no buttons on it work:(

  • @gnarwill Man! I am sorry. Is it still not working?

  • @sofiamedia yea i tried everything and even called flip

  • @gnarwill Do you mind sharing what they told you? There are quite a few people who read the comments and your experience might help them.

  • the red light is blinking

  • @stellamoney red light blinking so it is sort of working? Was it blinking before? 

  • still not working

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Rysprague Your welcome! I hope you take some awesome video and post it so we can see :-)

  • Weather can do some nasty things - make sure your USB/flip/HDMI ports are clean and hook it up to your computer. If the computer recognizes it and you can see your videos/pics (if you had any stored on there), then that means that atleast the drive is working. Leave it plugged in for a while to make sure it has a chance to charge, then take it out and try again. If it doesn't work, call tech support - the weather likely damaged another portion of the camera (e.g. lens, etc).

  • Mine still is not working. I don't have rechargable batteries but I followed the steps and still nothing. It turns on when it's plugged into the computer but won't turn on when it's unplugged. These are brand new batteries I put in too!

  • @J2daBeatz I'm sorry it isn't working. If you look through the comments, one of the girls mentioned that her brother emptied the trash on the flip and when that file was emptied, the flip worked again.... Good luck.

  • i have the same camera and i left it out in the rain, it wouldnt start, so i left it in dry rice overnight and now it turns on saying ultra HD then it goes black and the buttons dont work, then i press power again it shuts down, so can enybody help???

  • Comment removed

  • !!!!! it works!!! thank you soooo much!!

  • @scarletcherryblossum  happy it helped!

  • still doesnt work, the power button blinks twice and never turns on :(

  • @RPMHoster I'm sorry. It is always sad when flips don't start.

  • this always happens to me. and all i have to do is take out the batteries and put them back in. Then it works fine for me.

  • I just got one yesterday and it worked great out of the box. I went to turn it on today and nothing happened except the red light on the front started to blink. I tried all the usual fixed like taking out the batteries, updating software, plugging into the computer, etc. When I plug it into the PC it turns on and connects perfectly fine. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to a car meet tomorrow and really wanted to use it then.

  • can you use any kind of re-chargeable double A bats?

  • @DDFJ1230 As far as I know you can. I just found these to last the longest.

  • mine works now <333333333333333333

  • @iwillowneathan  happy days!

  • Mine still doesnt work can anyone help?!?!?!?

  • @GuitarComedeyGamer I hope someone is able to give you some advice ...

  • Thank you so much :)

  • what about if it tells you the memory is full but its not the count down timer at the bottom is at 0min 00sec and dosnt film b/c it says its full, and you cant delete b/c it says its empty......i tried the battery thing but that didnt work :( PLZ HELP ME!!!!! ANY ONE!?!?!

  • @ninjaskillzmario I haven't hear about this. Did you hook it up to the computer to let it see if it can download stuff? Good luck and I hope some techie has an answer for you.

  • @sofiamedia thank you my brother helped me, i connected it opened flipshare and emptied my trash and then ejected it and it worked! :D

  • @ninjaskillzmario Big hugs to your brother for helping you out!!

  • omfg!!! someone help me i dropped my flip in the snow and now the damn peace of crap wont work. HELP ME!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY THING IT WILL DO IS SHOW ME THE FLIP SIGHN WITH ITS LITTLE RING AND GOES RITE BACK TO THE BLACK SCREEN.

  • @PRxxNene  Is it working yet? If you dropped it in the snow, it got wet :-( Electronics don't like water which sucks when they get wet.

  • OMG thank you so much!

  • @bigmaczado4 Your welcome :-)

  • THANKS SOOO MUCH i have to film my cruise and i dropped it the day before the cruise and i was balling when it didnt come on!! so thanks!!!! :)

  • @newskoolgirl Post some video from your cruise!!! No need for tears when you have youtube to help :-)

  • Thank you so much!!!!

  • well..mine like just makes loud BEEPING NOISES while i record..:C

  • what do i do if my flip freezes while recording, sometimes it turns green and it freezes up. Then it doesn't save what was recorded.

  • wow(: at first i thought this was stupid, but it actually worked for me. thanks(:

  • The freezing & inconsistent battery life is a symptom of the battery shorting out, a common problem with these. My mino HD model number is F460B and the battery inside is number is 1UF463450F

    .

    The replacement battery is for the Palm LifeDrive, got it for $11 on ebay. I followed a video here to take it apart, easy. If you plan to discard yours, please donate it to me. I'll fix it and pass it along to someone in need. I do stuff for kids, veterans, etc... on a regular basis.

  • ooh u have to pull the unlock switch to open it...took me 15 minutes...i feel so stupid now

  • @puppychuu Stress can do that to you. Hope it is working now!

  • there is a reset on this it's to the lef and just below the Lens on that camera. Dropping the camera doesn't usually cause that problem it's coincidental, the fact that your batteries may be something other than the 2.4 v 2100mah batteries that the camera requires. I had issues with my flip battery too because of recording short clips and then plugging it in to upload those to my system frequently but i fixed the batt issue by turning it on hitting record let it run down till empty cool &, rep

  • @daddytech Thanks for the comment!! Next time I drop my camera I will try that little silver spot and see if it works. I tried it once when I dropped the camera (cause I tried everything and read all the camera forums to find this answer) My batteries are fine. The batteries that came with my flip covered the bottom connection which is a known defect with the batteries at that time.. no problems with the replacement ones I talk about in the video.. they are awesome!

  • @sofiamedia yeah some of the replacements were good ones i have a YT friend in Canada that's had really good luck with the Duracells but he can't recharge them in the camera. it just won't charge them for some reason but he got 4 of them so he just carries the extra set with him. actually i looked into this one a little further just now and the issue you were having may also have been addressed with one of the 2 updates that were put out for the flip last year too . I got mine in Feb 2010

  • you have changed my life for ever./

  • @pacecanshuffle hopefully for the better!

  • nope doesnt work for me

    mine didnt even make the beep noise

  • @deathmast403 WAAAAAAAH I hate when this doesn't work..... try new batteries.... hopefully you still have a warranty.. they decided to stop making the flip so your next HD camera will have to be a new brand.

  • what was that folder you deleted? was that one of the steps?

  • @VULCANskullCRUSHER You don't have to delete files to get your flilp HD to work again.

  • i have the flip ultra 2nd gen an i turn mine on it shows the logo the the screen goes black i tun it of and the logo shows again and when i plug it in to a laptop the connected hing shows up and it makes no noises and cant record an i did this

  • @tumarkillsjr That sounds like something more serious than just dropping your camera and not having it start. Is it still under warranty? You might also want to use different batteries, the ones that come with the flip don't always charge.

  • My Flip is now working thanks to your post, thanks.

  • @bradydo Take very good care of it! They just announced they won't be making the flip anymore :-(

  • @sofiamedia

    Are You Serious?

  • thank you it worked

  • @thuryina Your welcome

  • I JUST dropped my flip after charging it, and found your video. Thank you very much!

  • @rhartt1234 Your welcome! Glad its working :-)

  • thank u it works!!!!!!!

  • it wont work for me!??!i did exactly what you said but my batteries are rayovac. does it make a difference?

  • @walshyvids99 I don't know if the batteries matter too much.... it might be something more serious wrong with your flip.. is your flip the new one or the old one.. my instructions are for the New version which is HD, the older version has a reset button.

  • If you are out and don't have a computer with you, you can just put new batteries in. That will work also.....at least it did for me. Thanks, though, because I didn't know about that part. I could have saved a lot of batteries, since I've had mine with me in most of those cases. :)

  • @ninja19 Thanks for the info. I carry extra batteries with me all the time in case my batteries die but it is good trick to try next time I drop it :-)

  • LOL MY NAME IS SOFIA! AND I LOVE THE VIDEO!!!!!! LOL!

  • @bratzlifeinparis I am glad you like the Video Sofia, I love the name Sofia, your lucky it's your name!

  • This totally worked thank u.

  • @SEARCHDADDY I'm glad it worked, have fun filming!

  • THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  • @DiiLyn Your welcome :-) I am glad you found the video useful.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUCCESSFUL STEP BY STEP VIDEO...:):):)

  • @meowcatmya I am glad that you found it useful :-)

  • mine still won't turn on

  • @TheGrindkingboi Bummer! Is it the Flip HD or the Flip.... they have two different ways of restarting. Try doing it with different batteries too because the batteries that come with the Flip don't recharge very well. Good luck!

  • it worked thank you so much

  • @thatdrummerkid15 Your welcome! I drop mine all the time, so I am always having to do this :-)  I need one made out of rubber!

  • most helpful video on utube thank u so muuuuch

  • @cvetzzz Your welcome :-)

  • @iRissity  Thanks, It works but doesn't look beautiful anymore :-( I am glad you have a warranty!

  • @iRissity I am sorry :-( I just dropped my camera again today and this little silver ring thing fell out of the control button section and my batteries went flying out. I hope you can get it fixed and working. Is it the new flip or the old one? They have two different ways of restarting.  The old flip has a reset button which the new one doesn't have.

  • this is the same person that just commented loco3nt i would really appriciate it if you subscribe to suppasqaud or both and i subbed from both of these accounts
