Won't Charge

Our Playsport will not charge.  We put new battery in and we checked on the cord with another device and it is working.  Can you please give advice?  It says WVGA in the window at times.  It will turn on for a brief second but will not stay on because it needs charged and it will not charge.  Please help.

It seems that you have performed all the possible or common problems of your device. The only left possible problem is the device itself.  Unfortunately, the charging of your device may have been failed to function properly and it's almost not possible to repair. You can purchase a new device at Amazon. I have provided the link below for your convenience.
