This is the only fix that worked for me after trying multiple other remedies. i.e., taking battery out, reset button, etc... None of those worked for me, but reformatting the drive and updating the software via manufacturer website worked perfectly.
just like to thank you for this video,i to deleted some vids and i had 1hour 34 mins recording time.i was about to take my flip back thinking it was faulty when i came across your vid,it worked many many thanks.heres a video recorded on my flip,once again many thanks.
hey can u teach me how to fix my camera so it could connect to the labtop for some reason every time i connect it nothing pops up for all my computers labtops even library computers
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!...i bought this camera from a friend for $20 and it only had 23.22 minutes on it..so i did wat you said and now it has 30 min on it...thanks so much
Ok so everyone here probably bumps the flip on something and it shuts off or they open the batterie thing by accident right? Well to stop it from happening just try not to bump it.. Lol xD
This fixed my camera. I was nervous about formating it. But I formated it and then the harddrive was empty of all the original files. But I downloaded the upgrade and then attached the camera and it upgraded and restored all the original programming. THIS WORKS.
thank you so much! i have just recentley deleted all the videos on my black flip mino, and it stilled said it had 20:00 minutes left. so i did exaclty what u said and now that problem is solved! BUT, i have new problem, the USB arm isnt coming ot easily, i have to like pry it out when i pull the switch that flips it out. any suggestions?
with my experience you dont need to update, just reformat.. there will be text document placed on your flip telling you how to use it without the system files.
thank u soooo much!!! my camcorder have 29:58 left, and i didnt have any videos on it! so i did what you told me to do, and ow i have 30 min back. THANKS!!!
hi, everything is fine the movies from camcorder runs smoothly,except if I click the recording buttons,it shut off,and then it says:"an error has occured. Unable to start the recording functions. my question is that,Wher do i find this recording functions? from computer set up? or from camcorder menu?

That's Great! I'm glad it worked for you and many others :)
Now about the USB arm, put scotch tape around the upper arm and fold the tape to make a pull tap to pull the arm out...
Make sure the tape don't go around the tape again, other wise the arm will be too snug...Let me know how that work for you.

i figured out what the problem was, there was a tiny rock or something jammed in the USB arm. But thanks anyway!
