Greetings PDML, On my MX motordrive, the electrical coupling, between it and the ni-cad pack has melted at one terminal. The damaged part is a round plastic component with four sprung terminals. One terminal looks damaged and the plastic around it show evidence of melting. That pin no longer moves.
The motordrive works when a different battery pack is connected to the external connector. so I know the drive is not fried. I have been afraid to connect the ni-cad pack to anything else! Has anyone else experienced terminal meltdown with ni-cad packs? The motordrive and battery are with Pentax Canada right now but they have indicated that they do not have any spare parts to fix it. I am waiting to hear if there is anything wrong with the ni-cad pack. Does anyone have spare parts or know where I might be able to get the components that I need? TIA istvan
