Give it time. Half an hour at least. If your battery is totally flat it has to build up some charge before it'll even chirp at you.


Plug it in over night and see what happens. If it's still dead then, you can try a different charger to make sure that's not bad. If that doesn't work, then it may be dead, Jim 😉
