I have a Neuros 1 which is nearly 3 years old. Lately it won't hold a charge (an overnight charge would give less than 30min play time). I figured the battery was old and was about to have it replaced when I noticed that while charging if you touch the ac cord where it plugs into the Neuros the battery voltage number starts jumping around. It would change from as low as the 330s to as high as the 370s. I know from my other Neuros around 415 to 420 should be a full charge.

It seems to me there is probably a loose wire or bad solder joint in the backpack where the ac plug is. Can I fix this myself? Is it worth trying or can I send it in and have it repaired?

It is probably a loose solder joint as you expected. Take it apart and look at the board where the AC plug is connected, does the solder joint look ok? Is it loose? If it is, and you have some soldering skills, just repair the joint, this is fairly easy to do.

If this is not the case, your plug could be bad, in which case you would need to send it in for repairs.

email me if you have any questions

When I was a kid my mom used to tell me that curiosity killed the cat...What she forgot to tell me was that it also discovered the cat, invented the lightbulb, and forged the Neuros
