Bone Pack help?

[PaulC]

I've purchased a second hand bone pack and need to work out how the darn thing works?? Wonder if those who use them can answer some questions?

I've been down maplins and purchased UK-US volt convertor, plugged it in for four hours but it didn't charge, i was expecting it (the battery)to feel warm, it didn't. I don't even know if i'm plugging the charger the right way around in the convertor for a start??

Could it be my charge or battery is duff?

Any help is a bonus

Have you got the universal charger?

If so then you dont need a voltage converter, just an adapter to fit into the bottom two prongs of a UK socket.

Or a shaver socket.

No the charger is of the type show on the web site:

Whom did you buy it off of?

chances are you may have had the charger/converter in the wrong way round.

Should start getting warm after an hour or so

does it have a transformer on. will be like a black box on the wire

On the charger? No, as I said it's the one they sell with.

Whom did you buy it off of?

A chap off of here.


Does nobody else use them with the chargers they sell??

I use the stock charger and one of these http://www.beststuff.co.uk/mw_mw2p045_voltage_convertor.htm

Although, I only remember paying about a fiver for mine. Do a google search and you'll find them cheaper. Maplins have them for £16.9p, bit steep there.

Works fine for me, and 2 of the others guys in our team.

Maybe if you have someone with some sort of tester to check the charger is putting out anything???

I do prefer my Neophean charger over the Bone Pack one because it has a red and green LED so you know when your done......

Surley it came with the UK converter when you bought it???? How else would the seller have charged it themselves.??

If you could actually be a bit more specific, then I may be able to help you out a bit more.

If it is someone who recently purchased it through the group buy, then a number of the small adapter parts were incorrectly wired, and simply need switching over.

If it wasn't, and you're sure it is the universal charger (will still have an american/shaver socket fitting on it); then if you can describe the light sequence, and have checked the small external fuse; then I may also be able to help...
