You have 2 dead power supplies. All Duo Docks sooner or later will require C28 in the power supply to be replaced. It's a genuine manufacturer's defect!! I have 3 docks, and had to repair the power supply in each with a new C28 (99 cents at Radio Shack). A symptom of the C28 problem (unless you put in a new capacitor) is that a duo dock works best if it is never unplugged from the AC, even if it isn't 'on'. There's a site on the web which gives a blow by blow fix it description, but it's not easy to do.
