got my two through today as well - 8 days isn't a bad turn around 
Ive read that this is a problem sometimes if you dont power on the camera before connecting it to usb.
Make sure you power up the camera before plugging it into usb and hopefully that should make sure you dont get any 0k files.

I think i've killed mine already!!
Stuck it on charge earlier and forgot i'd done it. 10 hours later (after i'd been work) I come home and realise. Unplugged it to have a play and I get nothing.
No lights at all no matter how long I hold the power button for.
The only time I get a yellow light is when its plugged into the USB. A solid yellow light.
Have I killed it?

Well, after a few test videos (which i may end up sharing here if I get them edited together) I think I've killed mine too, though I'm hoping it's just the memory card.
I went mountain biking earlier today and decided to record a downhill run. About 3 mins in I lost the front end and ended up face planting through a patch of nettles into a mound of dirt. When I finally managed to drag myself home I placed the SD card in the reader, eager to see a handlebar-eye-view of me sailing through the air then try to count the cartwheels performed by my bike very shortly after. Sadly the video file was reported as 0kb in length.
I'm afraid to say we've all missed out on some potentially classic footage gents

Try reseting it?
Yep. Still doesn't do anything. Is it likely to be borked through over-charging? Bit crap if it is!
Overcharging it could have blown it. The lipo batteries dont like over charging and can set on fire from it. 10hrs will have certainly damaged the battery. Worth opening it up and checking what the battery looks like. On another website the user over charged his and the battery swelled up and doubled in size!
Seriously disappointed with the ebay seller I have just used too buy two. A buyer asked if they were #3s and the seller replied quoting the exact stats for #3, saying they were not 640*480/1280*960. Unfortunately the box says otherwise. Is there a huge difference between them? I have contacted the seller but wonder if it is worth the hassle returning them as it took nearly 3 weeks for them to arrive from Hong Kong.
