This was all not as easy as described. I ended up tearing the data cable and breaking a small piece of the retaining flap, %#*!^@. I had the hardest time trying to get the cable back in.

My problem was that the camera turned on and held a charge just fine, but I couldn't properly reset the thing and it always said it had zero memory space, but zero videos on it. Now it won't turn on, probably bc the video cable is damaged.

And of course, the Flip is no longer made and Cisco has discontinued service. No idea what to do now or where to take it. Any suggestions?
