[NSRCA-discussion] Problem JR10 X Battery Cassette

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

Thanks to all that responded.  Yes, the problem was that piece which is a fuse (is not a diode as someone suggested).  It is 2-3 amp fuse base on the responds I got.  The quick solution is just to bypass the fuse.  I know, that eliminates the protection but our chargers already have the protection so should not be a problem.

Vince,

I think I got the fuse from RadioShack.  If you bring the blown one, they can tell you which one.  
I may have some somewhere.  If you can not find one, let me know.  I believe the fuse is about 1/2" long and a little less than 1/4" diameter.

Thanks Ed.  I know how to solder electronic components.  I could replaced myself.  Anyone knows where to buy this small fuse and the specs?

Thanks,

Its a blown fuse Vince.  This sometimes happens because of a temporary short when plugging or unplugging the charge jack, especially if using an aftermarket adapter.  You can either send it in or if handy with a soldering iron and if you can find the part locally, replace it yourself.  Its a dumb design that requires the user to send equipment in for repair because of a blown fuse, but there it is.  Great radio otherwise.

I am having problems with one of my batteries.  The radio works but the battery does not want to charge.  I checked and there is a circuit board with just one component.  It appears a resistor or something similar.  I think that is the bad component but not sure now.  I just want to check if someone out there had similar problem and solved.

Thanks,
