[nabs-l] Focus 40 Problems

[Ryan Silveira]

Hi Mikayla,

Take a look at your charger cable?  Is any part of it frayed or damaged in some way?  Look at the shole cable (the wire and the end that goes into your Focus).  It’s possible there could be a short.  It may not be noticeable, but looking at the cable, you might be able to tell.  If there is a short, you’ll have to call the lovely folks at Freedom Scientific and ask for a new charger.  Hope this helps.

I am going to email Freedom Scientific, but want to see if anyone has had this experience and what they did. Thank you in advance!
