Try a process of elimination (or common sense).
First check the adapter is not fauty, either by using a different unit with
the same adaptor, or a different adaptor with your unit.
If you conclude that the adaptor is working, then you know that either the
battery or the unit is faulty. I suggest testing the battery next. Try
re-charging from a normal power supply, not a cigarette adaptor. If the
battery charges, then you are fine.
Carry on changing just one thing at a time. Pretty much like you would have
learned at school in science lessons when conducting a fair test. keep
everything the same, just change one factor at a time.
