Hi everyone-
I'm likely dealing with multiple points of failure, but here's what I got. Have a Duo 230c that has been docked in a Duo Dock for quite a while. Fired it up ~6 months ago and everything was fine. Today, I plugged the dock into power and nothing. No response from the power button, either on the dock itself or from a directly-connected keyboard. We'll get to that.
Opened up the dock to extract the Duo230c and noticed a burning smell, faint, but there. Connected the extracted Duo 230c to power using the OEM power brick and smelled the burning smell again. Anyone have any experience with these old NiMH battery packs? Is this smell from the battery, or something worse? Suggestions for next steps?
Thanks,
johnl
