Subject: Re: [LIB] Charging problem on 50ct Error code
J�rgen... I had the AC plug in my 50CT fail just a few weeks back. I
wonder if you're having the same problem.
I pluged in the AC cord without the battery inserted, and the system
started to boot, but then suddenly shut down. I looked into the Libby's AC
socket, and found that I could move one of the metal connectors. I took
the system apart, and found that the plastic socket had broken into 2
pieces. I just haven't gotten around to epoxying the two halves back
together.
I wonder if what you're seeing is the same broken AC connector that
sometimes makes a connection with the power cord, and sometimes doesn't.
The batteries then sometimes getting charged, and then going dead and
causing the blinking LEDs??
