Joye510: Battery Light Stuck For Days?

[Jus10]

Hello VT friends,

ive had this issue for about a week (or more), and finally have returned back to the place I have found the most help from in the past (VT).

I own the Joye 510, (Purchased June 2010) and quite simply, the battery light LED is stuck glowing. The battery will not charge, and it does not produce any vapor. When I plus it into the adaptor, the battery blinks 3 times, like normal, and then the light goes off, indicating a normal charge. However, upon unscrewing the battery from the adaptor, the blue light stays on.

Upon first finding this issue, I thought to let the light/battery just die out, and re-charge like normal. However, its been over a week, the light has remained on (although it's more dim than before), and still wont operate normally.

In addition, my adaptor doesn't work very well anymore. I have to hold the charged battery at an angle to get the red light to indicate "charging." I was wondering, if the light stays green (even if the battery is dead), does that mean the battery will not charge? i.e.- if the light isnt red, does that mean it doesnt charge?

Thanks!

Sounds like its time for a new batt. The charger could be bad also. If the charger stays green with the batt in it, that means its not charging.

Yup sounds like a new battery is in order. They only last about 2-3 months. Just like a rechargeable battery they have to be replaced
