KSC-32 charger plug dead, question

[Giddyuptd]

Have a oem KSC-32 charger/charging plug.

Used a spare plug and the charger works fine.

So then started troubleshooting the plug itself.

Has current from wall wort plug to the mid board soldering joints. Has current from charger port end to mid board joints so that leaves the wires having buckles or kinks or cuts.

On board is where the issue seems to be though I havent fully got to diagnose which component failed yet.

Anyone know of these having a specific component issue over time?

I know there hasn't been any issues with the electric but it has been plugged in and used as the travel charger per say so it's possible being plugged in at one point something jolted being plugged in and a component went south.

Just seeing if others know of or had same issue before with these.

could be a bad solder joint, but reading this, you say current from both ends. If the plug is not plugged into the charger base, you wont see current draw, Voltage YES, but an open ended plug, no, unless you are reading current draw from B+ to B+ and then plugged into the charger base, with a battery in place, otherwise, your voltage should show 15vDC, I have the KSC-Y32K with a 15vDC power supply.

For an average price of $60.00+/- get a new one that would be under warranty for a year.
It's great to troubleshoot, but I would go on the cuff to say the plug to base, has a broken wire, cut it
splice on a new plug and you're fixed.

What I was thinking. Thanks. Luckily I have a spare I'd keep in the office so I'll just use that one until I get another ordered in near future when I get chance to.
