Icharger 4010 not reading all cells
Tonight all of a sudden channel 1 on my 4010 stop reading anything above 5s on the balance screen no matter what balance cable I try. It ran fine last night then did this with no warning. I've tried Google but didn't find anything. Have any of you seen this before? Gonna suck if it has to go out for repair, this is my only charger that can handle my 14s setup.

No bent pins on the charger's balance connector? And this happens even if using the charging board/cable setup that you normally use on channel 2?
If so, I'd assume it needs to be sent in for repairs.

Lasttime mine did something like that the balance lead from my parallel charge board had pulled slightly out of the socket in the iCharger. I've also had problems in the past with burning out some of the fine trace wires on the balance board which stops cells being read.
If you get the same issue when plugging a battery direct to the balance port on the icharger, and it that same battery works consistantly on the other channel then i'd guess it's a fault.

The pins look good. I tried 3 different balance leads. 2 plugged directly into the port and 1 factory balance board. I just realized I left a battery balance lead plugged in overnight the other night. Hope it didn't burn that side up because of that.
