Hi
think the battery gone on scroll excell..when i plug charger in it charges for a few seconds then stops..displays a battery sign with a yellow triangle inside. Is it knackered? The charger pin is a bit loose when plugged in. Are batteries easy to replace?

Unless you have a multimeter to test the output from the charger to prove thats OK and you are content that the charging socket is sound then you may have a duff battery. Have you tried charging via the USB socket as this will tell you more.

It sounds to me like perhaps the unit is not charging from the charger but has had just enough power left to tell you it needs charging. The batteries used contain circuitry which if the battery goes absolutely and completely flat fails and then the battery is shot - but your description doesn't make me think this is so in your case.

Try USB charging and see if that is OK - it will take longer but will work if the battery is OK.
