Nikon MH-23 quick charger doesn't work.

Hello,

I have a Nikon MH-23 quick charger. Some months ago, it suddenly stop charging the battery. Even the LED indicator doesn't turn on. I checked the fuse and it's ok. The voltage after the diode bridge is correct. The control IC also has voltage to feed it (5Vdc). In the output of the the flyback secondary side the voltage is also present (8Vdc). I tested the LED individually and it's fine, in fact I notice that the control IC don't send voltage to it.

Apparently neither component looks like broken or burned. Ofcourse, I know it doesn't assure the correct operation of each component. I believe maybe some protection is already activated. Some one have an idea of what's happening or how I must proceed to check it?.

Thanks.

Hi,

Check to see if any of the capacitors have 'bulging' ends. Faulty capacitor(s) can produce incorrect voltages and may prevent the correct operation of the IC.

See image for an example of what blown capacitors look like to know what to look for.

This is not an image of the components in a Nikon MH-23 quick charger.

Anyone have a reference for how to open the MH-23 case?

I did not find any screws, I had to cut around it with box knife with blade fixed at about 3mm extended and just scour cut multiple passes all round and pried it off

FYI,

If you come across any more "sealed" adapters that you want to fix, if they have a "seam" around the side i.e. looks like 2 halves welded together, one method that I use that is ~80% successful is to place a 1"-1.5" paint scraper blade along the long edge seam and give it a short sharp tap with a hammer.

As I said about 80% of the time the case will crack open with no damage and then can be more easily pried open. There will be some damage on the internal lip that joins the two halves but once the problem is fixed then when the case is closed again it isn't seen. The other 20% of the time the exterior of the case cracks and some pieces break off.

The problem is sealing back together again. There are a lot of different plastics and not all adhesives work with all or most. I've even had some adhesives that have melted the plastic e.g. supa-glue.

Usually I just tightly wrap the case together with a couple of turns of black electrician's tape

I was having the same problem and I found advice from a flickr site from eight years ago, as I am not as technically proficient as you seem to be and my battery is now charging. So I cannot take credit for this answer, but it was useful for me:

I've had this happen on my D40X a few times with the original battery. When the battery gets very low, the charger may fail to recognize the battery is present.

I don't know why, but this method worked for me multiple times:

Unplug the charger and remove the battery. Wait a few seconds. Plug in the charger without the battery. Wait a few seconds. Slide the battery in and out of the charger a few times and watch for the charge light to come on. If it comes on, leave the battery there for the whole cycle and you're OK again.

They key learning is to not let he battery get completely depleted before recharging. That is, to where the camera will shut itself down.

Thanks for your tip. I had a similar problem and did exactly as you advised above and now its working.

I was about to order a new one, but tried your method and it worked like a charm!

I have the same charger model with the same issue. This method somehow worked, but i wonder how

Did you manage to solve your Problem?

I have the same issue with my charger and my capacitors don't look like those in the picture.

I didn't solved yet, the capacitors in my charger also don't look like those in the picture. Maybe I need to measure the ESR of the capacitors to discard such possibility (fault capacitors), however I don't have an ESR meter. Other option is replace the electrolitic capacitors by new ones with the same specs and see if the charger have a different behaviour. If the electrolitic capacitors are not the issue, a deeper analysis of the charger will be needed. I mean, see the waveforms of the charger in the oscilloscope. If you can fix the issue please let me know.

Hello,

I just soldered supply to the secondary site via USB 5V Charger and then it does it's work. The 5V goes behind D4 and ground to - at the wire spring for the battery. So the fault must be at the primary supply site. But until now I didn't finde enough time to search for a faulty component.

由 Timo 完成的 2016年10月8日

Thanks for the info. Then I'll focus on primary side!. Actually I also didn't find enough time to search for a faulty component. However if I find a faulty one I'll let you know.

Now the LED is flashing like charging the battery but after 3 hours the battery was still empty. So there needs to be more research.

由 Timo 完成的 2016年10月9日

I see. Sounds like the charger doesn't provide enough energy (voltage or current) to charge the battery. Did you find something weird with the primary side?. The battery doesn't suffered a deep discharge previously?.
