Troubleshooting Anton Bauer TWQ charger port malfunction
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A charger port showing a solid red light while other ports work normally may indicate dirty brass contact points rather than charger failure.
- Brass contact pieces on the charger can be cleaned with a pencil eraser to restore normal operation.
- Anton Bauer's service department may provide troubleshooting assistance over the phone before requiring a return for repair.
- Authorized Anton Bauer service facilities are located on the east coast, with repair services also available through independent shops in Los Angeles for approximately $130 per hour with a one hour minimum charge.
Depends on
- The cleaning solution was attempted on a charger that had been in constant use for over four years.
- The discussion does not establish whether the eraser method works for all types of contact degradation.
- Local repair shop information is from 1996 and may not reflect current service availability or pricing.
