Omarpv Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I need some help! I have had this guitar a while and it worked awesome but I tried to charged it today but doesnt worked! I did all the stuff the manual says, I even changed the chord but it doesnt work I turned the MCK out, pushed the C led and the battery level came, when the guitar was seeking for its charger I connected the adaptor to the guitar with a standar guitar chord, the adaptor came green but the guitar was still shining red and after 120 seconds it turned off ....

CharlieP Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Make sure you are using a good quality short pedal cord. Nothing longer than 6" to 12". If that don't help use emergency charge function page 52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieP Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Elantric: Where did you get the information about battery reset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elantric Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 This is electronics 101. I have had to do this with Dark Fire on occasion, and I do have access to a Robot 1 - This reset procedure works 100%, and often corrects operational anomalies.

Tronical Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Omarpv, sorry to hear that you are still having problems. If the charger goes green and the guitar does not charge the reasons could be: 1) The cable is too long. 2) Wrong power supply. It should have 12 V DC and 1000 mA!! 3) Dead Battery, which is most unlikely because you said it displays 4/10 charge level. Anyway, in this case we will send you a spare battery.
