I have this charger also and it was hooked up when my wife went to leave and drug it down our driveway and ripped the leads and did some damage. I have most of the plastic damage repaired and fixed but one issue I'm running into is the lack of a wiring diagram online and Schumacher customer support won't help with that info either. I'm trying to understand where and how the negative cable lead hooks into the machine? I think that it hooks up to the transformer somehow. I should have taken pictures when it happened 2 years ago of what it looked like that fateful night. Your video was informative but tough to see as your issue was on the processor chip, any insight would be highly appreciated as it only got used for a few weeks before it was dragged under the truck, thank you!
I have a similar problem with the same charger and that part. I believe it is a diode labeled D1 on the board. The diode is fried and I cant read the part number. So far Schumacher is no help. They don't seem to care after the warranty is over. Can you tell me what the part number of that diode is or any help where to get a schematic for that board would help. Thanks for any input. Google doesnt't even have the part number for that board in the search engine. Also anyone know where I could buy that board if not the diode. Checked Ebay, no luck. Thanks.
I have this same type of battery charger. it doe nothing when i plug it in. no light comes on and it doesn't make a sound when i put in on a battery it worked for a few months an now it quited on me
There is a fuse on the PCB. Its a little red cylinder. Get a volt/ohm meter and verify you have either voltage going through it or continuity across the fuse. Look carefully at the capacitors for anything that looks swollen or cracked.
Sorry for the late reply, there are screws under the bottom corners of the button panel. You can press down firmly on the corners and feel the holes behind the film. Use a small screwdriver or razor blade to pry the plastic film up an expose the screw holes.

I got mine from a seconds store.The panel will not come on.
