Charge 3 shows a thin line across the display

Yup,  mine stopped charging.  Followed the reset process.  However, only show smiley, vibrates after a while and then just shows a thin line across the display.   I gather that it is and "other" device I need to toss it and start again.   Hmm.

In addition to the regular restart, you can try a long restart:

1. Connect the device to the charging cable. 
2. While the device is plugged into the charging cable, press and hold the button down for 15 seconds. 
3. The device turns on and shows a battery icon. Two vibrations occur: first a short vibration, then a medium vibration. 
4. The device turns off.
5. The device turns on and shows a progress bar and short vibrations occur. The progress bar completes. Note: A total of 7 short vibrations occur. 
6. Remove the device from the charging cable. The device shuts down.
7. Important: Plug the device into the charging cable again.
