How old is it? The OLEDs on mine went south after a few years. I find the pen, albeit a great idea, the execution is junk. No user replaceable battery?? Its really planned death.

Pen camera not opening after charging i reset it but not fixed

If your pen camera is not opening or functioning properly after charging and resetting it, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the power source: Ensure that the charging cable or power source you are using is functioning correctly. Try using a different charging cable or connecting it to a different power outlet or USB port to see if that resolves the issue.
  2. Reset the device: Perform a hard reset on the pen camera. This typically involves pressing and holding the reset button (if available) or removing and reinserting the battery. Refer to the user manual of your specific pen camera model for instructions on how to perform a reset.
  3. Charge the device for an extended period: Sometimes, a longer charging time may be required if the battery is completely drained. Leave the pen camera connected to the charger for an extended period, such as overnight, and then try turning it on again.
  4. Check for firmware updates: Visit the manufacturer's website or contact their customer support to check if there are any available firmware updates for your pen camera. Updating the firmware may resolve any software-related issues.
  5. Contact customer support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is advisable to reach out to the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They may provide additional troubleshooting steps or suggest sending the device for repair or replacement if it is still under warranty.

Unable to Charge

Hey there,
This symbol generally appears when you are connected with a charger not suited specifically to your blackberry. the connector may fit the socket on the phone but does not work at the level the blackberry requires to charge. Try another cord made for the blackberry.
Also remove the battery from the device and ensure all the connection points are dust free. I don't think this relates to your problem, but a good idea to do from time to time anyway.
Good luck.

Spy pen not working

If you have a Spy Pen, sometimes it just appears to be either stuck with the light on, or dead and won't turn on. We wrote this report to show you some of the tricks we found to getting your it to work again.
1. Perform A Hard Reset
The majority of the time, just inserting the end of a paper clip in the opening below the status light on the back, and performing a hard reset, will get your Spy Pen working. Just bend a small paper clip end out, and insert straight into the opening. When you meet resistance, push lightly, and you can feel the reset button depressed.
Make sure it goes straight in, and not at an angle, or you could damage some of the components inside. Let go and try to turn it on.
2. Rule Out The USB Cable
If you are using a USB cable to either connect the Spy Pen to your computer, or to the 110V wall charger adapter, one day the cable will fail. If you use the USB cable because you can't connect the pen directly to the computer, try just plugging it directly into the computer.
Don't use a USB hub, as sometimes there is not enough power for the it; just connect it directly to the computers USB port. On some computers, use the USB port on the back, as front USB ports are sometimes weaker.
3. Rule Out The 110V Wall Charger
Just like the USB cable, the 110V wall charger adapter will also fail at some point; so if it does not seem to take a charge, try charging it for 3 hours in the computers USB port. If the status light is on while its charging, its getting electricity to charge the battery.
4. Put The Spy Pen Back In Video Mode
Several Spy Pens have switches to go to photo mode, or voice activation mode. If you move the switch to change modes, and you do not move it back to video mode, the computer will say it is not recognized. Try moving the switch back to the original position.
5. Erase & Reformat The Spy Pen
If the Spy Pen shows up as a removable drive on your PC, just right click on the icon and let go on "Format." Then check the "Quick Format" button, then hit OK. The drive will be erased, and reformatted. This usually takes care of any pens that make it this far.

I have Canon power shot S2 IS digital camera.I bought it around 2 years back.Now my camera is showing the sign of "change the batteries" even though the batteries are fully charged and the lens does not...

i suggest replacing a fresh battery will most likely solve your prob, overtime rechargeable battery can drain easily, try changing with a new battery and see if it does work well, there might be insufficient current, thats why it tends to drop of voltage easily upon using, 
there is a specified lifetime for rechargeable battery, depends on your usage and charging method, theymaybe fully charged but sometimes wont give you enough power to drive
