Default Dead DPI charger

My charger got caught in a storm last night while plugged in at our lakelot. When I plug it into the cart the power light flashes 3 times I think but then no hum from charger and no voltage increase on cart. Is there anything serviceable or is it dead.

I have the same scenario/question, but mine in not the GFI.

The internal relay was burned up, I replaced it. Lights flash, the nothing. I am thinking the control board is bad, $131 to replace, at that price probably will just buy another.

Any ideas or suggestions?

(BTW, I assumed this would not be considered a Hijack as the problem I have is identical to the one posted)

Most of the time it is the control board, and your right, doesn't make sense to buy just the board because the chargers are so cheap.

rockfordpi before you give up on yours you might want to post in the parts section looking for dead dpi with a good board. Where are you located?

Can you tell me where I can find a "cheap" charger. The ones I am seeing are around $200 at best. Still does not make sense spend $120 on an old one.

When it comes to chargers, that's cheap.
