Hi, i have a optio a10, that is about three years old. the charger ( wich plugs into a house wall outlet, doesnt seem to work, lights wont come on when i plug it in. is the charger suspect, or is there possibly something wrong with the camera, like the sd card is full. i dont see a battery in the camera at all. bottom line is i cant charge the camera, thanks greg
If you don't see a light on the charger lite up its the charger, or the internal batteries are no longer excepting the charger. my first guess is the charger itself.

if you have a four pin plug, check that it is not three phase for heavy electrical use. ask your electrical supplier if your house has three phase, if your house had electric storage heating there is a chance it had three phase to balance the electrical supply to the property this can be dangerous so check please (some old boilers were two or three phase years ago)
If you bought it from a specific company be it thru internet or site store take it to the providers site store and if there is no water damage and item is less 1 year old factory warranty covers the phone and if you got an extended warranty they should replace it in the the store, but with factory warranty they will mail you a new one (with the exclusion of the battery) and you will have to return the old one thru the USPS at their charge.
Hope that was helpful if I can help further let me know. Please rate/vote or testify to my advice.
the 1103 uses an onboard charger. Charger's life span is about 3 years; some fail in 6 months, some in 6 years keep in mind. You can charge the 1103 using an offboard charger which are available for about $50.00 on Ebay. Search for electric wheelchair charger. You want one that has a 4 to 6 amp rating.
The offboard charger has a 3-prong connector on one end and the other plugs into a grounded wall outlet. Plug the charger into an outlet and the three prong connector into the female three prong connector located at the bottom front of the joystick. Give it a good overnight charge and it should be back up to snuff in the morning.
First test the wall outlet, try plugging a lamp into the same outlet see if it works. If the outlet works then read the following below. If the wall outlet doesn't work then plug the TV into another outlet.
If its not the wall outlet:
Unfortunately the power supply has a problem sustaining DC output. This can be caused from several fault scenarios. Get someone who is technically savvy and I will show them via e-mail what to test to fix this problem for you. Or you can take it to your local repair center.
I think I know just the problem. The connection cord that came with the wall outlet charger can only be used for charging. You have to have the original apple cord in order for the computer to recognize it.
Batteries get old and wear out. Be use AC outlet is working. Check for power light on AC/DC charger box between laptop and AC.
It is common for Laptop charging/power connectors to get worn and/or loose(intermittent). Try to get charging light on PC by wiggling power connection to PC.
If not, if you have a VoltOhmMeter(VOM). check for 5V on barrel power connector on the charger side, that plugs into PC, Outside conductor is GND and Inner connector is (+5V). VOMs are cheap at RadioShack or AutoParts stores and are a handy tool to have around the house. Book shows you how to measure. PC is 120V AC on Wall side of PC Power Supply from Wall Outlet, and 5V DC on PC side of Charger.
If you read the reviews on A10 it has something like 1.73 seconds shutter lag, which is very slow to some other cameras with only 0.3 shutter lag. Redeuce the pixels to 6mb. Also a weak battery and maybe a under performing m.card add to your camera seem to be slower usual. jam
I had almost similar problems with my A10 from day one. The camera shuts down before the battery is depleted, most of the time while I was operating the zoomlens. I bought a new battery, but that didn't solve it. Later I decided to take it apart as a last option. As my suspicion was the zoomlens I took out two crews of the motor that operates it. Now the motor has a bit more space to move. It seemed to be too tight against the gears so it could cause an overload. After that it worked perfectly. I made pictures for hours without having the same fault again. Be carefull too make notes where all the tiny screws belong of the casing. And maybe it will be enough to just loosen the motorscrews, but leaving them out will not make it fall out of it's place. I hope someone can use this information.
