Red lightening is power reserve (battery totally drained) If you are certain the charger is working on ship's power and you charged it for 3 hours with no remedy, then it again points to hardware fail.

Today, 16 hours later and after a bunch of hard resets when I hold the start button I will get the red lightning and zigzag cord symbol for a second and then blank screen. Still will not charge. Of course, this happens on a cruise, not where I can take it somewhere 😊
