My good old Sola 1200 Photo light is still working, but… my charger suddenly stopped working. The green LED indicator light does not illuminate when I plug the charger into the power outlet, there is no DC currency at the golden contacts, the LEDs on the Sola lamp body do not flash. I opened the body of the charger. No visible damage, but I cannot remove the board, maybe it is glued to the housing (with some reddish substance). Seems to be impossible to buy a replacement charger, all out of stock. Plan A: If someone on this list is willing to sell his/her charger please contact me (I live in Germany). Plan B: I could buy a standard charger with 8.4V/2A output, cut the L&M plug from the original charger and connect it to the new charger. BUT: Where is -, where is + ??? I cannot test on my broken charger... On the plug there are two golden contacts (#1 and #3 in the attached pic) and a silver pin (#2, which probably is only needed to prevent a wrong connection). Could anybody help me with the polarity? Would be too bad to say goodbye to my Sola just because the charger is broken. Greetings, Jock

Hi there, I used to be a very active diver for 25+ years, read and post on good ol' wetpixel, but then reduced my diving to just a handful of dives per year - just did not have enough time. Now that I am retired I hope to be more active again! Kind regards from Germany, Jock
