My remote was completely dead too. Took a long time to charge, but works fine. You should be OK as long as one of the indicator lights starts flashing after you plug it in.

Nope.  But maybe something new with the abundance of B models shipping lately.

Its just about fully charged now. Thanks.
I wonder if all of them are shipped dead.

Some are...some aren't. Depends how long they sit on the shelf before sold....
