Minitor charger problem

Post by Heterodyne »

Got a non-amplified Minitor V charger RLN5703C that won't charge batteries anymore.

Tried with some known good batteries on the pager, charge light stays red for about ten minutes then turns green, pager lasts maybe four hours in standby mode before chirping.

Rear battery-only slot doesn't work at all.

I opened it up and cleaned the contacts suggested by another post in this forum, but it's still doing it.

I'm guessing a new charger in my future? Anybody got any fix advice?

Usually it's new charger time. Does your charger have the large linear wall-wart? If so, it needs to be replaced anyway.

The contacts on the bottom of the pager may need to be cleaned. You need some DeoxIT to do that right.
