No Power to Golf Trolley Battery Charger

[afromau5]

Hi All,

I'll add some pics as soon as I can but just to get the thread started, I have a golf trolley battery charger that doesn't have any power.

The unit has a light that should light up when plugged into the power socket however this doesn's light up and no power goes to the battery. I have checked the fuse and also swapped to a new kettle lead but still no power so the problem must lie within the charger itself.

Is there a specific component I should be looking at as the culprit?

Just trying to understand if its worth fixing or just to buy a new one

Thanks

Capacitor would be the first culprit is there any obvious damage on the pcb

Can't see any obvious damage. Dont see any bulge in capacitors either.

Added some pics if it helps

Which part of the PCB is this? Is it visible on my picture?

For a golf battery it needs to be a different connection and they are generally a bit more.

Was just wondering if its something i could easily fix for a lot less than £40-£50. If not then fair enough, was just hoping it was a straight forward part swap

As an electrician who owns an electric trolley myself I would just be replacing the charger. For what it's worth

Where the lead connects into the charger, is that a fused IEC socket - and if so, is that the fuse you changed?

No its not fused, just a normal one. The fuse I changed was at the plug end of the cable that plugs into that connector
