So I have had my OP-1 for about 2 years, and just recently it will sometimes not turn on if its close to low battery according to the LED meter. The first time this has happened it would not turn on or charge when i plugged it into my computer. But after some time when i would check and turn it on, it would power on and give me a chance to plug it in and charge it. It has again not turned on tonight, but I am sure the battery was low, but it wont even let me charge it. Does anyone else have this problem/ have any advice as to how i can charge it even though it is turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The OP-1 will charge when turned off. Mine does this occasionally, too, and really the only thing that works is just waiting with it plugged in.
I’m having the exact same problem. My OP-1 will not turn on nor will it charge (button on or off). I’ve tried charging it with my computer and with my wall adapter. I had this issue last month but it started charging again when I plugged it into the wall. Now it doesn’t charge at all.
I’ve had it for maybe 6 years and couldn’t control the heat of the room it was in, the last two years, so perhaps it needs a new battery?
Thanks for the input guys. I figured that was the case, but I was just curious to see how many other people have had this scare. I dont know what I would do if i woke up and found my OP1 bricked.
I hate usb for charging more than anything. A hack for separate the charging pins is probably the only solution. Bypass the battery completely and have an extra power hole drilled.
