I left it plugged in for 3.5 hours (recommended charging time is 4 hours), and the indicator light was Green the entire time.

I'll try and bring it into a store to trouble shoot whether it's the battery or camera itself. I think the Contour+ and the newer model Contour+2 use the same battery.
It dead or worn out battery will still turn green when charging. The minute you turn it on, the electronics put a electrically load, and it will automatically turn off.

You paid $149??? Store are blowing them out for $99 new.
