Can't charge my Casio Exilim Z55

My battery is dead. I plugged the cradle into the wall using the
provided AC adapter and into my computer using a USB cord. When i put
the camera into the cradle, the charge light flashes red, and the
camera doesn't charge. Everything else works fine -- if I push the
"photo" button on the cradle, the camera plays a slideshow of photos.
If I push "usb" on the cradle, the camera connects to my computer and I
can transfer files. Once i remove the camera from the cradle, it's
useless! What do I have to do to charge this thing?

I¹d try cleaning the contacts on the battery and if that doesn¹t work,
try a new battery. If it¹s still under warranty, contact Casio.
