Hello,

The battery doesn't seem to charge when plugged into USB. The green led is flashing very faintly, I can barely see it. I had a spare battery, and I put that in and it worked for awhile, but now neither battery will charge. I've tried both a computer USB port and a regular USB charging port.

thanks,
Paul

It sounds like a hardware problem. First time I read about a charging issue. Please contact Seeedstudio technical support to get it fixed.

Some tests you can try. If you connect the Crazyfie 2.0? with USB without the battery connected can you start it?

Look around the pins of the USB connector on the Crazyflie, does it look like any cracked soldering or similar?

I experienced a similar issue, but I resolved it by changing to one of my USB 3.0 ports so that it would receive more current. I'd imagine plugging into an AC adapter would also help.
