Some batteries in chargers can be pretty fussy  Unplug both charger and adaptor replug and make sure you push battery forward until you hear a definite click. Light should stay pale red for a couple of minutes and then bright red until charged. Flashing means not connecting.

Aw that happened to me, my adapter died :P You should be able to buy a replacement from any good electronics store, just be sure to take in the old adapter so they give you the right voltage :)

Of course, but remember I live in Australia so the plug will be different and mine didn't have any strobing lights, it just died completely. To me it sounds more like your cradle may have a loose wire or something...
