Ken, I do not know what your FF 1100V power connector looks like, but from your description, it sounds like you have been forcing the electrical connections to make good contact by applying some pressure to the connector. If the cord that plugs into the computer has "sockets" that mate with "pins" on the computer, the "sockets" may have opened up allowing a sloppy or poor contact to the "pins". In fact, your "putting something under the power connector", may actually have made it worse by opening up the "socket" even more. Does this sound like what may be happening? If so, you need to tighten up the sockets - perhaps a gentle squeeze with small, needle nose pliers may work.

I recently notices that I had to put something under the power connector going into the 1100 to get the charging light to come on. It gradually progressed, to my horror, till It will no longer charge. I was able to get an external Battery charger on ebay to charge the batteries but I am at a loss to repair this. (if at all possible) I have asked some of the local PC repair shops here and they can't help. Anyone heard of this before or any Ideas on the steps to take to diagnose this problem to see if repairable? Ken
