Tug Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well I think my spinner crapped out on me.when I plug it in to charge it flashes about 14 times then doesn't do anything.charger shows green but when I take it off and put my Nautilus on it,it just flashes some more...anyone else have this issue?

Compenstine Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Make sure and clean the contacts on the battery and the charger. I have had this happen before with other batteries and a good cleaning usually fixes it. @hope_photography123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Have you tried it on a different charger? It could be the battery's fine (but needs to be charged), but the charger is toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yes. I just had one die on me randomly. It was only a few months old but it did exactly what you describe. I tried everything I could think of but nothing did the trick. It was definitely a genuine Spinner II as well. I guess we just got turkeys.

Tug Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tried the cleaning,it had a bunch of crap on both contacts but it didn't help.Kind of pissed right now! >:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tried the cleaning,it had a bunch of crap on both contacts but it didn't help.Kind of pissed right now! >:-( Did you clean with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol? That helps. Then, before you try putting the battery onto the charger again, pull the center pin up on the battery. It might not be making contact... Whatever you had on it might've pushed the center pin down so it's not making contact with your battery charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@hope_photography123 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Sometimes it's the pin you might have depressed it in... If u gentle and take a thin mini flat head like for glasses you can nudge it back upwards.. Gently! Just enough to make contact again... Happens all the time! Yes. I just had one die on me randomly.

Tug Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I got it working.it was the pin on the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Fascinating that it was the pin on the battery but you said earlier that it was flasing when you connected it to the charger which means it must have been making contact with the charger. Think maybe it was a short in the battery pin or something? I dont know, raising the pin on the battery did not fix mine. Anyway, mine was long since sent to the dust bin. I'm just curious how it got fixed is all. Glad yours was repaired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 It would only flash when I pressed the button.for some odd reason sometimes when I would plug it in to this charger it wouldn't start charging unless I pressed the button while it was plugged in.I know what your thinking...I need a new charger lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I was hoping this one was done so I could buy a new vision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
