Repair 82002A charger?

[Marcel Samek]

Thanks for the quick response. I did just check the continuity between the connector and the soldered connection on the board and all three wires are good.

The adapter has the sliding switch for 110/220 and it was a little iffy making sure that that was making decent contact while I had the charger open to check the voltages inside. I got the same readings of < 1 volt when checking on the circuit board.

I certainly won't turn down your generous offer to have you take some measurements. If you have some other suggestions on things relatively easy to check first - I can do that too. I don't mind playing with my multimeter even if I don't exactly understand the circuit I am poking at!

What is it that usually goes wrong on chargers like this?

Thanks!
