Thank you for answering, Matt
I tested the plug; it's ok. I also tested the socket; it's ok too.
The status is now, that 3 batteries (all are older ones, two 1300 mh and one 2600 mh) work. The libretto works fine,
when with these batteries in or out.
It crashes immediately and the damned error code appears, when I insert the newer 2600 mh batteries and the libretto is plugged in.
When the libretto is not plugged to the AC adapter and I insert the above mentioned batteries it is not startable. Everything stays dark.
When I plug in and try to charge the error code 0000 1 000 comes.
Is this the error code indicating bafterie failure? Or indicates it, that something ist wrong with the charging unit
in the libretto? But I can charge the other batteries!
At the moment I think, that the unprobable has happend: 2 batteries crashed at the same moment, one old, one totally new.
I would like to believe this, but is there anyone, who could confirm this by translating the error code?
Jürgen

Jürgen... I had the AC plug in my 50CT fail just a few weeks back. I wonder if you're having the same problem.
I pluged in the AC cord without the battery inserted, and the system
started to boot, but then suddenly shut down. I looked into the Libby's AC
socket, and found that I could move one of the metal connectors. I took
the system apart, and found that the plastic socket had broken into 2
pieces. I just haven't gotten around to epoxying the two halves back
together.
I wonder if what you're seeing is the same broken AC connector that sometimes makes a connection with the power cord, and sometimes doesn't. The batteries then sometimes getting charged, and then going dead and causing the blinking LEDs??

Hello folks, maybe someone can help me. Yesterday my beloved libretto suddenly crashed. Everything went dark, the battery led was dark, only the DC-IN led flashes. The libretto was connected with the AC adapter to the wall socket, a 2600 mh battery was in the libretto. The led flashes an error code - I suppose: After 2 seconds off at the start, there are 4 short flashes, then comes 1 long flash (1 second) und then follow 3 short flashes. Then again 2 seconds dark, 4 short flashes and so on. It looks like 0000 1 000. Is this a binary signal? What is the meaning? The AC- adapter seems to be ok. It gives 15,08 V and I can use the libretto with the small batteries (1300 hm). The charging of this small batteries is ok. I can use the libretto without any battery, only withe the AC-adapter. I tried a totally new battery (2600 mh), all went dark, I can't charge it. I tried a small older battery, everything seemd to be ok. Today morning I retried an older 2600 mh battery, which caused yesterday the same faults. Now the charging led lights orange, everything seems allright. When I insert another older battery, which produced the evening before the above mentioned faults, everything went dark, only the error code flashes. When I insert the new uncharged battery (2600 mh) nothing goes, the DC-in led flashes the error code. When I unplug the libretto, replug ist and then insert an 1300 mh battery everything goes. The batteries, which work, have a voltage of 12,5 V at the most outward contacts and 11,97 V between contact 1 and 3. The batteries, that don't work have slightly different voltages: 12,53 most outward, 12,03 between contact 1 and 3. I don't think that matters. I have no idea, what is wrong. The contacts of the batteries are ok. Not all 2600 mh batteries are broken. The AC-adapter charges (but only small batteries).
Cheers
Jürgen
