Bought this Turnigy Accucell 6 on feb this year from hobbysea.com and was working fine until today,
It shows "Short Err" whenever i tried to charge any lipos. 2S, 3S, Nimh whatever i connect, the result remains the same.

Worst thing is that it shows charging only if i start the charging process after disconnecting the battery. You read it right, it shows charging with no battery connected!!!

the battery is in good condition and the power supply is the same ive been using for the past 8 months, nothing has changed, even it was kept in the same place is used to charge for the past 1month. nothing moved and this error throws up from today. i checked the leads and nothing is shorted.

Googled a bit and found that it is very common with this charger.

Has no courage to rip open the charger since its still under the 1year warranty so i wrote to hobbysea.com and turnigy both to see what they have got to do.

on the other hand, would like to know does anyone has experienced this with these chargers or i'm just all alone? is there any other solution or fix to this except to buy a new one?
will post pics/video shortly.
