So I'm hoping someone here will have an idea for me.
Today, I noticed my Iliad battery starting to wind down (I only use it for an hour or so each day, so I don't have to charge it very often). So I plugged in my charger and connected it to the Iliad.
No red light. I tried re-seating the connector and got the red light, so I knew it was charging.
After a few minutes of getting sucked into what I was reading, I noticed the light had shut off again. And it definitely isn't charged yet (indicator shows about 1/8 battery charge left).
I tried reseating the connector again, to no avail.
I can't get it to respond at all now and upon further inspection, it looks like a tiny piece of the plastic on a corner of the connector has cracked off.
I assume I will need a new charger/travel hub, unless someone has any ideas for me to try. But even if I need a travel hub, I can't seem to find a US retailer that carries them and buying direct from Irex would mean paying $39 for shipping on a $39 dollar item (which I'll do if I have to, but I wish there were another option).
So, 1) anyone have any ideas about trying to get my wounded charger/hub to work? or
2) anyone know of a US retailer that could sell me a travel hub?
Many thanks!
