I just bought an used X30. It was listed as "broken - for parts", the seller wasn't sure about the camera to be working properly since he didn't have any battery nor charger.

Since it was listed for less than 80€ I decided to take the risk and buy it, hoping the only missing thing was a new battery.

I just put a new battery in but the camera doesn't seem to turn on: when I charge the battery via micro USB the LED blinks fast in orange, but when I try to turn the camera on it turns red once and then nothing happens :(

The charging doesn't continue neither: to make the LED blink again I have to remove and re-plug the usb cable in.

Do you have any ideas what the problem could be? Did this ever happen to you? Thanks in advance for your help, any leads are welcome :)
 
The fast-blinking orange light isn’t a good sign. Something is amok. But the seller did state the camera was sold for parts, right?
