Is my RED charger fried?

[Jeremy Wiles]

I've been on a shoot in Holland for the past week. The power is 220w, but isn't the charger compatible with both 110 and 220? It was doing fine for the first few days, then today it stopped working. I have 3 more days of shooting outside and don't want to rent a generator to run power to the camera. I'm several hours north of Amsterdam with a shoot tomorrow morning and there's no one in this small town who has RED gear.

I checked the fuses in the charger and they are okay. When I plug in the charger, the red light comes on, but it does not charge. I don't hear the fan running either.

Any advice? I desperately need to get batteries charged. Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Shouldn't be a problem, I mean we who live in Europe use the same kind of charger and to my knowledge we all have 220 here. Never had any problems with any charger.
Could it be a faulty device maybe? Or the batteries might be dead?

You don't need a red charger, any v-mount charger will work. See if there's any video guys nearby or a news station. They may be able to help you out.
