Ryobi P117 charger power LED flashes when plugged in with no battery inserted. Is there an easy place to start checking?

SOURCE: Battery Dont Charge

jpierre's solution (in another thread) was right on the money. Touch the positive (+)end of the 9v battery to the positive (+) end of the camera battery.Leave them touching for a few seconds (10 seconds should be more thansufficient). Seems these lithium-ion batteries are subject to a'digital memory.' Subjecting it to a volt surge almost three timeshigher seems to clear it.

In short, it works like a charm.

There is a contact in the upper left hand corner of the batt compartment.This has to touch the metal of the last batt.If your batts have paper around them scrape it off where it contacts that contact point.
