Turnigy Mega 300W 8S Dual Charger Issue: Seems to be Locked up!!
Ok, guys I got my new Turnigy Mega 300w 8s Dual Balance Charger/Discharger, from Hobby King. It's about a month old and I finally had some time to try it out. Well it doesn't seem to be working!!!
Prob #1 - I can't seem to get the display screen to take me to the "user setup" screen to do the initial setup. The buttons cycle thru the batt types, size, etc but no user set up screen
Prob #2 - None of the buttons for the 2nd port will respond when I touch them.
Not sure if Prob #2 is related to Prob #1. There does not seem to be a reset button anywhere. The directions don't have a very good trouble shooting section. I wonder if I should contact Turnigy directly or go thru HK customer support.
Here are the power supply details:
12V 30A DC Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply 360W
Specifications: -
Input Voltage: 115V/230VAC
Output Voltage: 12V DC -
Output Current: 0~29.2A -
Protection: Shortage Protection, Overload Protection, Over Voltage Protection
Weight: 660g
Size: 215*114*50mm
Shell Material: Aluminum
Safety Compliance: FCC / CE -Connection
AC power input -COM: DC power output "-" -V:
DC power output "+" -+V / ADJ: Adjust the output voltage (10%)
Does anyone have any experience with this particular charger?
Thanx, Mark

Keyman, yes, I tried this and there is no change in the charger performance. In fooling with this further, the only way I can get the "start/enter button to work is when I tilt the charger on end. This is the only orientation that this button will work, whether the charger is operated on my 12V car battery or the power supply.
