Lipos were fully charged yes? The blue light flashes from the low voltage protection thing too I think.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. The above poster is correct, I have seen that when trying to use a faulty or discharged lipo battery, if you could borrow another lipo charged by another charger, or trying to charge yours with another that would be a great troubleshooting step.
Although it sounds like you have tried a few things, please call 01279641097 or e-mail at sales@horizonhobby.co.uk.
Cheers,

give them a call, they will try and help you out over the phone. Failing that like others have said just post it in with a covering letter. Brilliant customer service from them if under warranty.
