Hey guys so I wanted to charge my board like I always do and when plugging the charger BOOOOM. I open the case, inspect the charge port nothing. I try again with another charger and BOOM. Now I don’t have any other 10s charger
What could it be?
Charger is blinking red, if I plug something it kills it instantly. So I have two questions then how can I repair all the chargers I just broke ( change capacitors maybe??)
And what the heck is happening to my board?!
My bet is that the fuse in the chargers blew, depending on the charger obv.
If you they do indeed have fuses. It means that something is short circuitinng your + and - on your board (unless power socket is funky).
Use a multimeter and see if you have connection between + and - in the charger port. That would be the first steps.
Measure the voltage on the charger jack BUT DON’T STICK MULTIMETER PROBES IN IT. Plug a male 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel plug into it and probe the back of the plug.
It should be at battery voltage. If it’s 0V, check continuity across it.
I don’t usually write in all-caps but that’s why I said don’t stick multimeter probes in there in all caps and suggested using a plug. Don’t ask me how I know…
