Flip camera doesnt turn on after months without using it?

Q. I bought the Flip in October 2010. It hasn't been used in a month or two and now I can't turn it on. I've tried charging for 24 hours and pressing the reset button.
When the Flip is connected to my computer the red light on the right side is on. The model of my camera is M3160
What should I do?? I tried contact them but no answer....
Thanks,

A. I wouldn't expect an answer from Cisco anymore about the Flip. They have basically kicked the owners to the curb. If you bought the camcorder in October 2010 and just now turning it on in July it has been seven months.

This is the warranty statement:

Cisco recently announced that it will be exiting the Flip business. Support will continue within the terms of the Flip Video warranty, which is 1 year from the purchase date. FlipShare and technical support for Flip video cameras will continue until December 31, 2013. To learn more about support and warranty information, please visit our Flip Video FAQ.

You will have to check the store where you got it for the return policy. After all this time I don't think it will work but you never know.

If the camcorder works (records video or can do playback) when it is connected to a USB port then it could be a bad battery issue. You can also get an A/C adapter from Amazon.com for about $7

If is another problem then you might be stuck with a defective camcorder.

Is this Sony vaio laptop any good at a given price? link included.?

Q. I am thinking about buying a portable, moderately inexpensive, and high capacity laptop. I just found

and I am thinking about buying it. Price is pretty good, given that other places sell them as high as $800-1100.

I don't really do a lot of gaming, although i do run Photoshop , along with some other pretty rigorous software. Do you think I should go ahead and purchase this? I'm a college freshman and I would want it to last at least till the end of my studies in 2013 - preferably more.

A. After having been a technical professional for over 15 years, Sony is the only brand of computer that I will not buy or recommend. I hate all Sony computers. They are proprietary. In other words, they don't use the same standards as everybody else. For example, the Sony memory stick. No other computer can read it, and Sony can't read what other computers use (SD). They come loaded with crap that is only useful if you own a Sony camcorder and a buttload of other Sony products. Worst of all, you can't get drivers for them. You can only get the "Recovery Disk." So in other words, if you want to upgrade, downgrade, or change your operating system, then you are screwed.
