Can someone help please? The orange light beside the on/off button is flashing but there is no indication on the screen of the camera OR in 'my computer' that the USB is connected.

Hello 0370673 - Welcome to the Sony Forums

If you are able to remove the battery, try doing this and then leave the battery out of the camera for 10-20 mins to see if it resets the system. Let me know if this doesn't work and please also confirm the model number of your Bloggie so I can look into this further.

Thanks,

Simon

There is always a switch you can find at the side to slide the back cover for you to remove the battery.

I have no idea what's going on. This device has bested me and I'm usually really good with cameras / phones / laptops etc.

I can't open the back of the bloggie, no matter how much I examine it. Also, I have read through the handbook and still can't work it out.

I may be losing my mind - any help greatly appreciated!!!

Hello again

Thanks for confirming your exact model of camera - now that I am aware of this I see that there is no option to remove the battery as it is built-in so you're not going crazy!

I had a look at the manual for your camera:

http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4261655121.pdf

This model has something referred to as a 'Force Quit' that should help to reset it and this is done by holding down the ON/OFF button for seven seconds. Please let me know if you have any success with this.

Thanks,

Simon
