X35 coil charging problem?

[relicmeister]

Received my 9” today and when connecting charger the LED is barely lighting up, regardless of adjusting contacts
Trying other wires and chargers. I believe the charge led
Should be on bright while charging? How to know if defective and when to send back?
Thanks for input

See if it charges. I'm not 100% sure the LED brightness has much to do with whether it is charging or not. If it stays constantly on, it's charging. I'd try that first. When it's bright outside, for instance, even when correctly charging sometimes I can hardly see the LED. Could be the plastic over it is just a little thick.

You might be correct, as it’s been on 2 1/2 hours and while still dim, it is now blinking 3 seconds on 3 seconds off. I need to log the coil into the RC and see what the battery life says.

Give it a shot. Half the time I can't see the LED! Except late at night and then I think something got me!

You are my correct-o Smokey. The coil is definitely charged and the battery indicator
Says full. Thanks for your help.

Just a cat's intuition. The Deus machines hardly ever break. I've dropped mine in the ocean, had it fall over so many times it isn't funny, buried it a few times, had it rained on, sleeted on, snowed on, and...ready...sat my chair down across the shaft and it didn't break!

I hope the same applies to the ORX

Me too! A LOT of machines out there break if you dare LOOK at them!
