Try using your flat screen TV to charge it. It's how we charge our Go Pro Silver without any dramas.

Same same, wish I waited till the issues got iron out first.

Bit dodgy from go pro to release it in shape it was in. People in the states had to wait a few months for the update on 14th dec.

For what they are, even though i've had problems with my Hero 3 also, i think Go Pro are still ahead of the rest.

Although on a few US forums, a few people seem to be fans of the Sony Action Cam, might be worth researching further.
