Hi Trishan!
Well, I did try a few times to shutdown the 2300c, remove the Type III from
it, disconnect the adapter from the Duo, make sure that the recharger is
connected to the adapter, put the battery in the recharger, connect the
adapter to the Duo, start up the Duo, but still ,there is *NO* activity at
all when I put the battery in the recharger. Not even a red light. I read
some people saying they were getting a red light, but I'm not getting
anything. Is it normal? I'm starting to think that the recharger is somehow
broken. It certainly doesn't behave as many of you have described.
Should I contact the seller?
