Mine takes far longer than 4 hours to charge using the chord charger even when half charged
I had one loose in my mscaler. Best to get it fixed so it doesn’t short out.The screw
Good to know thanks for that. It wasn’t really a problem but at least now I know why. Still loving the damn thingHugo 2 will have reached almost 100% soon after being plugged in, when starting half charged. It goes into trickle mode though when almost fully charged. Trickle charge takes a good long while to top up totally. Mine is exactly the same.
If it's not a warranty repair then I would take it apart myself first. If the screw is loose inside then it is likely that once opened it would be a simple screw it back in. If you get it done by the repair depot I would estimate 1/2hr max.Chord told me to contact this 3rd party repair service, looks like he charges $105/hr (likely + fees).

I hope it doesnt take 5 hours.

You've got the TT1 I think. Brick crap house. Works great with the mscaler or Antipodes.5-6 years original hugo no problems....
I bought it from the for-sale section. Also opening the unit would void the warranty anyway. I did take all the screws out but it didn't just come apart like I thought it would, its stuck or something so I just left it alone. Not worth messing it up even worse IMO, it doesn't just open up once all the screws are out, one side is clearly secured in some other manner, either way, not fiddling with it.
Also it's not just the screw that's messed up, it probably needs a new battery.
Once I opened mine trying to replace the battery. It's been too long that I can't remember the details. But I'm sure opening it up is not a big deal, though I didn't dare to play with the battery, which was tightly wrapped, sealed and glued to the shell, only cables coming out and connecting the circuit board. If my memory is correct, there were some cables linking the two parts of the shell, so I could only open it like opening a book. Taking out a screw shouldn't be a problem at all.
