Ctek 5.0 Battery Charger

[Gangway]

Just asking if anyone has opened one of these units for repair. Early models had 4 x screws in back case, my later unit, no screws. Need to fix Mode switch problem.

Screws under the label ?

[Gangway]

No, only clear label, think it is a sealed unit, hoping someone has done it before. Thanks.

I had one of those die, took one look at the weird rivet things they use and it went back. Turns out it was under warranty...

The warranty was fairly long so worth checking out as you may get lucky like I did (i.e. > 1 year, maybe 3 or 5 years)

Edit: yeah if its one of these then 5 year warranty:

Yes they do have a five year warranty, but as I purchased online in Aust. Cannot find receipt as Ebay records only go back two years. Will try my spudger on it later this week.

Maybe try contacting ctek direct since you are still covered. It was zero hassle for my replacement at least - I had no receipt either but Burnsco had a record of the sale, you never know.

Well it's worth a try, that's why I was reluctant to start trying to open its. Thanks, will update later in week.

Rang wholesaler ( Bainbridge Technologies Brisbane), very helpful and they were aware of defunct online store.
Told me to send the unit in as should be covered by five year warranty replacement, being a sealed unit.
Luckily PayPal history went back to 2014, so they will accept that as proof of purchase.
So thanks .hendorog for suggestion, see how I go.

Happy days 

That is great service from them in both our cases (well so far at least).
