I know nothing about your camera, but can give you some general information.
There are going to be four main areas to look at in trying to figure out why a device isn't charging.
Of course, this is all complicated by the fact that we don't have any guides for your camera, so you'll have to wing it as far as disassembly if you choose to go that route. The other model that is available shows the battery being soldered in, so you'd have to deal with that if needed.
That's about all I have to contribute; I hope it helps. Check out my suggestions and let us know what you find.

I have this same problem. It is brand new, a Christmas gift for my daughter. I am using the cord that it came with. Ive tried it in a socket, in a laptop, in a docking station. It never charges. The child has wanted to use it so many times. I'm so disappointed.
thanks for the information! @dadibrokeit
Same here tried the charger it came with and a Samsung one that’s for her tablet and both say reminder: USB connection is for data transfer only, not charging!!!!
@Melissa P et al this is really just to augment the excellent answer given by @dadibrokeit. It appears that this camera is using a particular way of charging.
This "Only charge this device using the included micro USB cable connected to a computer." makes me wonder if they are using a proprietary cable.
