Default Charging the programmer

I can't charge the programmer's internal battery from the outside using my Alpha 4 or the Triton. Seems like there's a diode in there that doesn't let the charge begin. I have to remove the battery every time to charge it outside. Is there a way to bypass this diode (if any?).

Also, I have an erratic response from the programmer when I try to slow test my servo automatically. I go to the auto test program, press the M switch and nothing happens for 9 times out of 10. All the other automatic tests start right away, but that one is very erratic. It would start eventually, sometime after switching the programmer off then back on. Am I missing something or is there a bug in the programmer software?

Thanks
Ben
