To Tallnproud:

May I ask what computer you are using to connect to the Clip? 

I have burned through 3 of the lil’ buddies since my first purchase of a Clip in Oct/Nov.  I have the same story - works great, love it, then one day, it just stops working, boom!  Since it seems that many people don’t have these problems, I’m wondering about the computer itself - some bug or electrical (of sorts) problem.

Mine was doing this also, straight out of the box today. Once I downloaded the upgraded firmware adn used it------no problem. So far…?

I have noticed that after upgrading with the firmware that using my old Motorola phone jack the clip will not recharge the battery.

I have noticed that with the white connection cable that was included in my purchase that the clip will charge when pluged in.

The only difference I have actually observed is the small round plastic coated “bump” on the factory charging usb cord. Maybe there is a resistor, or …inside of it that is causing it to cause the different behavoir. If anybody has an old factory usb chord htey are willing to dismantle we can find out.
