Quadra 7865xl won't start unless plugged into an outlet. Sometimes have to press the button many times to start. Charge the battery to full (all LEDs green), start & unplug cord, will run for over an hour on the battery. Charge battery to full and pressing start will sometimes wipe out all green LEDs and get a red LED which indicates totally discharged. What's the problem? Batteries ok if it runs for over an hour once charged, started & unplugged? Repairable?

It sounds like you have an intermittent connection. When an internal power connection is lost, it will cause the charge indicator to indicate discharged. Check your solder connections, particularly the solder connections that hold the batteries in place

SOURCE: Red LED stays on

Sounds like the rechargeable batteries are aged out, and no longer able to develop a full charge, and soon will be needing replacement.
A repair center might likely do it for you for a fee, but see "Self Repair" on site:

SOURCE: Shaver was running slow and then died. Replaced

Your original symptoms sure sound like dying batteries. Brushes can wear out. Check if it runs better if you change the orientation of the shaver. Does holding it upside down make it work better or worse? If the speed changes, its probably the brushes. You can buy new brushes, but the Norelco repair place will probably give you a hard time since they want to repair it for you so you have to insist. I have made brushes for the shaver by filing down brushes from some other motor, but this is messy and doesn't always work.

SOURCE: razor will not take a charge, will only function when plugged in.

Sounds like the batteries are shot. They can be replaced if you're handy with a soldering iron.

SOURCE: Purchased Norelco shaver 7810XL.

Simply follow the instructions and charge for a full 4 hours the first time. On subsequent charges, unplug when the light blinks after about 1 hour

Jet7 power chair flashing red and yellow lights and not staying charged but a few hours at a time, had battery check, said they were ok. help

Hi June,
Any electromechanical device requires occasional troubleshooting. However, most problems that arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge. Below are a series of basic troubleshooting instructions for the Jet 7 Power Chair. This information is to be used as a supplement to the troubleshooting instructions provided in the owner's manual. If you have any questions about this information, contact your authorized Pride Provider. What if the systems on my Jet 7 seem to be "dead" (controller does not light up when the on/off key is pressed)? ! Make sure the batteries are wired properly-refer to the battery wiring diagram located on the power base. ! Make sure the connections on the battery terminals are tight and secure. ! Make sure the battery quick-disconnect harness connections are fully joined. ! Make sure the main circuit breaker has not tripped-push in the main circuit breaker reset button. ! Make sure the controller is completely connected to the power base. What if the range per charge of my Jet 7 diminishes over time? ! Determine if the batteries have ever been replaced. Batteries over a year old may be defective. ! Determine how frequently you charge the batteries in comparison to how often you use the power chair. If you use your power chair on a daily basis, you should charge the batteries every day for 8-14 hours. ! Determine when the batteries were last charged. Even if the power chair has not been in use, the batteries should be charged once a week for 12-14 hours. ! Determine how long you let the batteries charge. It takes 8-14 hours to fully charge a depleted set of batteries; continual undercharging reduces the overall life of the batteries. ! Observe the ammeter during battery charging to determine if the batteries are receiving a charge. If the ammeter does not go up when the battery charger is plugged into the charger power cord receptacle and an electrical outlet, the batteries are not getting charged. Check the charger fuse and ensure the electrical outlet is good. ! Determine if a wall switch controls the electrical outlet used for battery charging. If a wall switch does control the outlet and the switch is turned off inadvertently, the batteries will not fully charge. ! Is an extension cord being used to connect the battery charger to the electrical outlet? Pride prohibits the use of an extension cord when charging the batteries. The charger should be plugged directly into a properlywired standard electrical outlet as the length and condition of the extension cord can have an adverse affect on the battery charger. ! Determine how far you let the battery condition meter LEDs go down before charging the batteries. If you continually allow the battery condition meter LEDs to fall into the red area, the overall life of the batteries will be reduced. What if my Jet 7 is operating slower than it has in the past? ! Determine when the batteries were last charged. When the battery charge gets low, the batteries supply less power to the motors, which causes the motors to spin slower. ! Determine the temperature of the power chair at the time the problem occurred. The Jet 7 electrical system will protect itself from overheating when its internal temperature gets too high by reducing the amount of power sent to the motors. When this happens, the power chair will gradually slow to a stop. Allow the power chair to cool down and it will resume normal operation.
What if my Jet 7 begins pulling to one side? ! Determine if the joystick is being deflected straight or at a slight angle. Even a small amount of deflection right or left will cause the chair to veer over a long distance. ! Determine if both manual freewheel levers are in the drive position. If only one manual freewheel lever is in the drive position, the other motor will not operate and the Jet 7 will veer severely. ! Determine if both tires are inflated to the proper psi if the power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires should be inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar). If one tire is inflated more than the other, the power chair will pull to the side that is underinflated. ! Determine if the caster wheels are pivoting freely. If either caster wheel is not pivoting freely, the unit will veer to the side. What if the Jet 7 powers up, but will not move? ! Determine if both manual freewheel levers are in the freewheel position. If the power chair is in freewheel mode, then the electronics will function but the motors will not spin the wheels. ! Determine if the controller is flashing a fault code. The Jet 7 comes equipped with a VSI controller. The VSI controller will flash a code via the battery condition meter LEDs if a system fault is detected.
# OF LEDS CODE CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION One red LED 1 Low battery voltage Charge batteries Two red LEDs 2 Left motor open Make sure left motor is plugged into controller. Three red LEDs 3 Left motor wiring fault Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Three red LEDs 4 Right motor open Make sure right motor is plugged into controller. One yellow LED Three red LEDs 5 Right motor wiring fault Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Two yellow LEDs Three red LEDs 6 Inhibit active Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Three yellow LEDs Three red LEDs 7 Joystick error Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Four yellow LEDs Three red LEDs 8 Controller error Contact your authorized Pride Provider. Four yellow LEDs One green LED Three red LEDs 9 Brake fault Make sure both motors are plugged into controller. Four yellow LEDs Two green LEDs Three red LEDs 10 High battery voltage Contact your authorized Pride Provider.
What if the speed LEDs on the VSI begin to flash? ! Determine if the battery charger is connected to the power base. When the battery charger is connected to the power base, an internal charger inhibit feature keeps the power chair from driving. This is indicated by the VSI speed LED(s) flashing. ! Determine if the charger harness fuse has blown. A blown charger fuse can cause the charger inhibit to activate. ! Determine if all controller connections are plugged into the power base properly. If the 3-pin charger inhibit connector is not plugged in properly, then the charger inhibit feature will activate. What if the speed LEDs on the VSI begin to scroll? ! Determine if the VSI has been placed in lock mode. The VSI is equipped with a lock mode feature that prevents unintended use of the power chair. If the VSI is in lock mode, deflect the joystick full forward until it beeps, and then deflect the joystick full rearward until it beeps. The joystick should go back to the drive function.

Sharp Mebius won't boot

I suggest that you remove the battery and use the charger only in turning on your computer. If it turns on just fine without the battery then you would need to replace the battery. If it doesn't then it's either the motherboard or the charger which has a problem.

Westek TE06WHB Timer has been plugged in to charge for over 5 hours now and still now LCD display. It won't let me set the clock or program

Some of these timers use actual battery instead of rechargeable battery. Check back of timer for a battery door.

Press the reset button and see if this resolves the issue.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#59377

Check outlet polarity using circuit analyzer.
Plug timer into another outlet.
Turn on light switch controlling outlet.
See if a light works on same outlet.
Check circuit breaker.
This timer has 1 year warranty against defects in workmanship.
I suggest always buying timers at local store for ease of possible return.
Lowes and Target sell same/similar timer under different brand name. Buy new timer and return defect in new package.

Battery low while already plugged in

If thelaptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and graduallythe charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The batteryshows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops offto zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptablecharge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

My battery for canon camera 550d flashes orange when charging, its been 4 hours now and it hasnt turned green yet.. I am charging it first time.. is this normal

Okay what happens sometimes is the charger gets into a feed back loop. What to do is remove the battery unplug the charger wait a few seconds (Maybe 20/30) plug the charger back into the outlet and then put the battery back in the charger. It should start to charge again and a few minutes later go to the blinking for full charge green.

It'll happen the other way as well meaning if the battery gets a memory (they say they don't but they do) you need to unplug the battery let is sit till it's cool and put it back on charge again. I've had this problem many times and have put it on charge and back off several times with in 15 minutes before it started to charge as it should.

Also these batteries do have a life span and if it's a three year old battery with many charges it could be failing meaning it just won't take a full charge.

Upon power up, 3 red LEDs flashing rapidly continously, no power.

The control systems on power mobility equipment have a "prevent" circuit that immobilizes the equipment while it is plugged into a charger, so folks won't take off with it plugged into the wall outlet. When you turn it on when plugged into a charger, the display will flash constantly, or sweep constantly, depending on the manufacturer. This is normal. Your off-board charger should have a red light to indicate power to the charger, and another light for the charge status. Yellowish means it is charging, when it turns green, you are fully charged. If the status light is green all the time, that is an indication that the charger is not functioning properly, or that the batteries are below a chargeable state. Check charger output, which should be 26-28 volts dc, and each battery should show at least a 12 volt reading, but around 13.5 volts with a full charge. If one or both of the batteries drops below 12 volts after a short period of time, it's time for a fresh pair. Fully charge new ones before using the chair.

What is the button and set of 5 lights on a dell c610 battery for

The LEDs on the battery indicate the charge remaining. Press the button and you should get 5 LEDs with a full charge. The LEDs stay on in a steady state as long as you hold trhe button

The LEDs can also indicate an internal failure of the battery (Usually 1 3 and 5 will flash) if the LEDs flash, the battery is either critically low or failing. If charging it doesn't change the LED flashing them the battery will need to be replaced
